LAS VEGAS (July 2, 2025) —

In a historic move that cements her legacy as one of UTA’s most groundbreaking competitors, Hardcore Sandy has been named the newest member of the United Toughness Alliance Hall of Fame. Sandy—renowned as the first-ever UTA Hardcore Champion and the first female titleholder in the UTA—will be formally inducted on Friday, August 1st, at the Pearl Theater in the Palms Hotel & Casino.

A Trailblazing Champion
Hardcore Sandy first captured the UTA Hardcore Championship in 1999, outlasting a gauntlet of the promotion’s toughest male contenders in a brutal, no-disqualification showdown. Her reign lasted an unprecedented 182 days, featuring legendary battles that blended high-risk maneuvers with unyielding resilience. By shattering gender barriers in the Hardcore division, Sandy inspired a new generation of female athletes to compete on equal footing in UTA’s most extreme matches.

“Being the first woman to carry that title meant everything to me,” Sandy reflected. “I wanted to prove that toughness isn’t defined by gender—it’s defined by heart, determination, and the willingness to push beyond every limit.”

Fans and media are invited to attend the Hall of Fame ceremony, which will honor Sandy’s contributions both inside and outside the ring. The evening will feature:

📆 Date: Friday, August 1, 2025
