Operation Knockout (OKO) brings charity MMA to the Sahara Theatre at Sahara Las Vegas on Saturday, November 7, 2026, with the card starting at 7:00 PM Pacific. Presented by the Xtreme Couture GI Foundation with Las Vegas fight promotion Tuff-N-Uff, it is the fight-week alternative to the big arena shows: an intimate theatre card where every ticket supports the foundation’s work.
Tuff-N-Uff has been Las Vegas’s proving-ground promotion for years, giving amateur and rising professional fighters their break on local cards, and Operation Knockout is its annual charity showcase under the Xtreme Couture banner. The theatre setting puts every seat close to the cage, so the walkouts, corners and finishes all land harder than they do in a cavernous arena. If your Saturday night plans lean combat sports, this is the value pick of the weekend.
Date, time and event details
What: Xtreme Couture GI Foundation Presents: Operation Knockout (OKO)
When: Saturday, November 7, 2026 — starts 7:00 PM Pacific
Where: Sahara Theatre, Sahara Las Vegas, 2535 Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109
The card is a full evening of MMA bouts in the Sahara Theatre, the showroom inside Sahara Las Vegas on the north end of the Strip. Ticketmaster lists the event under Sports / Martial Arts, and all inventory on the official listing is standard admission sold by the venue — seats are reserved by price level, with a standing-only option at the lowest tier.
The venue: Sahara Theatre at Sahara Las Vegas
The Sahara Theatre is the main showroom at Sahara Las Vegas, the historic north-Strip resort at 2535 Las Vegas Boulevard. The room hosts residencies, comedy and fight nights in a compact layout where the furthest seats still feel close to the action — ideal for MMA, where the cage sits center stage. Sahara itself reopened after a full renovation of the former SLS property, restoring one of the Strip’s original names at the corner of Sahara Avenue.
Tickets
Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, the event’s official seller. Standard admission prices currently run from $47.50 for standing only, with reserved seats at $68.05 and $88.60 — those are Ticketmaster’s all-in prices shown on the official listing. Because this is a charity card in a small theatre, the best seats go early; buy through the official listing only.
Fight fans in town for the weekend’s bigger cards will find Operation Knockout an easy add: the 7:00 PM start means the theatre card wraps up in time for a late dinner or a second show elsewhere on the Strip, and the Sahara’s north-Strip location keeps it clear of the worst Saturday traffic around the arena district. Walk-up sales are handled at the Sahara Theatre on the day, but with a room this size, advance purchase is the safer play.
Getting to Sahara Las Vegas
Sahara Las Vegas is located at 2535 Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109, at the north end of the Strip at Sahara Avenue. The resort is the northern terminus of the Las Vegas Monorail — the SAHARA Las Vegas station drops you right at the property — and RTC Strip buses stop outside. Self-parking and valet are available on site, and rideshare pickup is signed on Paradise Road behind the resort, which avoids the Strip-front queues after the card ends.
