Coga Results
I can't tell you how proud I am of these two men. Even though neither one of them got their hands raised after their fights Saturday, they both showed their hearts in full display.
Patrick fought what looked like Ivan Drago's twin brother in an amazing back and forth battle that went 1-1 going into rd 3 and lost a decision. Patrick has now decided that he will never do 170 again..LOL
Ryan's opponent unexpectedly brought in a ton of boxing experience and thought he was going to KO Ryan quickly. Ryan stood toe to toe with his opponent and never backed down or went down. Even though Ryan lost every round, he showed what he was made of.
Both fighters and their opponents earned standing ovations from the appreciative crowd. Thank you to the coaches and fighters of the other teams and to COGA for having us on your great event. - Coach

COGA Rumble at the Ridge results
C3 fighters Chris Garcia and Tycen Lynn both competed at the beautiful Snoqualamie casino for Combat Game's Rumble at the Ridge.
Tycen's fight was over in a little less than a minute. Tycen got up from an early takedown and delivered a knee to his opponent's mid section that sent him to the canvas. After a little ground and pound, the referee stopped the fight at 1:13 of round 1.
Although Chris didn't come out victorious in his return to the cage, he was involved in the fight of the night. Chris was stopped in the second round after an all out war with a very game opponent.
Chris was able to win the first round with take downs and ground control but wasn't able to finish his opponent. Chris's opponent came out strong for round 2 and was able to avoid the clinch and takedowns and deliver some strong punches to earn the win.

Congrats to C3 students Joey Hudson and Carson Jackson on their performances at NAGA (North American Grappling Association) this last weekend. Joey earned his first NAGA belt for winning the expert division and Carson added a 3rd Samurai Sword to his growing trophy case. (NAGA gives out samurai swords for 1st place finishes.) We would also like to give a special shout out to Brandon "The Missing Link" Todd for coaching these two young warriors to victory as coach Charlie was away at a wedding. Our team is awesome!
