Iron Wolves fight on Kombat Kings - Results

Kombat Kings

Held at Urban Kings

This event will now be the offical feeder event for 10th Legion.

Matched and arranged by Peter Irving and Guess Ref was Jess ' the Joker ' Liaudin no less.


We had Aaron, Duane and Kerion from our Team and also Ramon our brother from Leo's Team.

All the fights where with heavier guys. Aaron had an opponent change and agreed to fight a new opponent that was in his 20's and 8kg over the weight. Aaron took the fight as the card would have been low on fighters if he pulled out. It was a great tough fight, Aaron was knocked down twice in the first round, but came back strong and even won the last round. He lost on points but showed why he is an Iron Wolves fighter, heart of a lion!

Kerion also had a tough fight, it was very close and a split decision. Kerion was landing the better harder punches. He did gas to the end of the rounds, but I think be backed up his guy and it should have been a draw or a win for Kerion, but thats fighting. Very proud of him and he learnt a lot. Hills to run for the next fight!

Duane had a great fight, really worked his skills. Again his opponent was 8kg over! But Duane put the hurt on and was cool as ice. The judges had Duane the winner but at first the MC was told it was a draw. This was corrected after. Winner Duane. At 42 he has showed what can be done with the right training and skills.

Ramon was relaxed and happy go lucky as always. His opponent came out strong and Ramon answered back with a one, two headkick to KO his opponent!

Great night. Very proud of our guys!

Well done Duane and the guys!





Duane Harper guys had 3 people enter the North West BJJ Open in Blackpool

200 competitors entered!

It was a good event and ran smoothly.

Paul Douglas won Bronze in the middle heavy blue belt.

Liaqat Ali won Bronze super heavy weight white belt.

Deon (bonzai ) Bruning won Gold in the heavy weight white belt.


It was the first comp for the guys and they showed great composure and did very well!

We are all proud of the guys and their coach Duane.

Duane is always 100% behind his guys and school. He never misses his private training with me. Thats with a 3 hour plus round trip each week. Thats what it takes, so thats what gets done.

I couldn't ask for a better student and friend. Well done Duane! and well done to your guys and our family.

Iron Wolves and Team Leo Negao are going strength to strength!
