The event will take place at the downtown Hyatt in Minneapolis. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. Central and limited tickets are still available to be purchased through Vitalculture.com. Tickets start at just $30 for this exciting event.

The fight card will feature a total of 12 professional and amateur fights including the main event between two of the area's best when featherweights Matt Veal and Courtney Buck step into the cage.

A few other fights to note include the semi-main event featherweight bout between Mike Plazola and Dan Kiser, a 135-pound grudge match between Brandon Buchholz and Fred Freeman, and Andre "The Diva" Tieva's professional debut as he battles fellow bantamweight Dan Wales.
