History
The Outlaw Saloon is the largest bar in the U.S. state of Wyoming with an approximate 26,000 square foot.[3][4] It is renowned for hosting various country music concerts notably during the Cheyenne Frontier Days.[5] In more recent years, the venue began hosting combat sports events such as mixed martial arts, boxing, and kickboxing.[6][7]
On November 7, 2020, the Outlaw Saloon hosted the historical match between Burmese-Canadian world champion Dave Leduc defending his Lethwei world title against American Cyrus Washington in Cheyenne, Wyoming.[8][9] Wyoming being the first state to legalize the art of Lethwei, the Outlaw Saloon was the chosen venue to host the first-ever Lethwei fight as well as the first Lethwei world title fight held in the United States in the millennia-old history of the sport originating from Myanmar.[10][11][12] The event was sanctioned by the World Lethwei Federation in partnership with the Wyoming Combat Sports Commission.[13]
