Las Vegas, NV – Jeff Meyer, CEO of TUFF-N-UFF®, the nation’s premier amateur mixed martial arts organization, today announced that local Las Vegas casino executive Bryan Lindsey has acquired a significant equity position in TUFF-N-UFF®. Lindsey will focus on athlete development, strategic partnerships, brand development and domestic and international expansion for the more than 20-year old TUFF-N-UFF® MMA brand.

“As the sport of mixed martial arts continues to explode across the globe, and the TUFF-N-UFF® brand grows right along with it, I needed a veteran executive and entrepreneur with global reach and a big vision to help build TUFF-N-UFF®,” said Meyer. “Bryan Lindsey is the perfect candidate for this role. He is a master of marketing and operations, has incredibly trusted and valued relationships across all business categories and is a local Las Vegan who understands our community and the sport of MMA inside and out. I’m thrilled to have Bryan on board and would like to formally welcome him to the TUFF-N-UFF® family.”

“TUFF-N-UFF® has an incredible legacy here in Las Vegas and is known around the world. As an MMA fan and someone who is passionate about building and developing athletes and companies, I have a huge vision for our future here at TUFF. I am getting my arms around this strong brand and together we will continue to expand the athlete base in the world of MMA and ensure that TUFF-N-UFF is the organization at the grass roots of the sport worldwide,” said Lindsey. “TUFF-N-UFF is the only other MMA organization in the world besides the UFC® that has more than 20 years of active event history. Some of the biggest names in MMA found their start in this organization, including the great Ronda Rousey. I’m excited to help TUFF-N-UFF build a global athlete development program and prepare the next generation of MMA stars to rise to the professional ranks.”
