As she heads into her 17th amateur fight, Tuff-N-Uff strawweight champion Cheyanne Vlismas says if she successfully defends her belt, she hopes to join a professional MMA organization.
For the past year, Vlismas has set up camp at Xtreme Couture MMA in Las Vegas where she trains with many high-level athletes, including former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate.
Vlismas will face Crystal Demopolous at Tuff-N-Uff’s Pack the Mack event at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on June 17.
