Fighting in front of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) head honcho hits differently.
“Sin City” regional show Tuff-N-Uff went down last night (Wed., Dec. 4, 2024) from inside the Sahara Las Vegas, and on the “Prelims,” UFC employee Sal Everett took on Jose Migoya for the Tuff-N-Uff Amateur Welterweight championship.
The fight lasted only 30 seconds as Everett knocked down Migoya with a 1-2 and then finished him with a heavy punch against the cage.

While capturing an amateur title is incredible, doing it in front of his boss, UFC CEO Dana White, and CBO Hunter Campbell is extra special. 20+ UFC staff were also in attendance to watch their colleague compete.

Indeed, White made an appearance last night at Tuff-N-Uff to watch his employee fight for the first time. As soon as Everett knocked his opponent out, White stood up and applauded.
Everett (4-0) works as a security guard for UFC and an ”errand runner,” among other things. He has finished all his opponents thus far in his mixed martial arts (MMA) – three by submission and one knockout.
It is unknown at this time if Everett plans to turn pro, but the 6’3 Welterweight said he would continue to fight.
