'Tap or Snap 29' will honor Tyler Carron and Nikko Landeros
Nov. 3, 2007 at Douglas County Event Center

UFC Champions show the soft side of the toughest sport in the world.

Colorado Springs, Colorado - October 26, 2007 -- The Douglas County Event Center will be host to some of the toughest men in the world who also have the softest hearts, on Saturday November 3, 2007.

During "Tap or Snap" mixed martial arts event, Matt Serra, the current UFC Welterweight Champion, will be presenting Tyler Carron and Nikko Landeros gifts that were sent by the reigning UFC Heavyweight Champion, Randy Couture.

Tyler and Nikko both lost their legs in a terrible accident in January of this year. Both Tyler and Nikko are fans of MMA and the UFC. Local promoter, Brian Lee, hopes this event will raise significant funds to continue providing the financial support needed for Carron and Landeros.

There will be T-shirts and other merchandise sold of which 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the fund benefiting the young men. Fans, friends and anyone else who desires can also make cash donations in designated areas during the show.

Doors open at 7 p.m.

For more information or to donate, call 303-646-6500, 719-339-5026 or visit www.coloradomma.com .

We want to also thankd Adam Martinez and Infinite Martial Arts for their part regarding this charity event. Adam originally received the gifts from Randy Couture and has been instrumental in our goal to bring more attention to these 2 young wrestlers.
