you can check out Colm Scott-Baird, Mona McCarthy and Alex Wiles on you tube...see for yourself what they can do and in turn, get you doing!!!

Supremacy fight challenge 7, Gateshead August 4th 2012

Paul Gregson made his pro-debut at lightweight on the seventh installment of Supremacy FC, winning via key lock in round one!
Very proud of Paul's attitude to training and his determination. He has only had 4 fights at semi-pro but his dominant style is just much more suited to pro rules, he rose to the challenge brilliantly, as we knew he would!

Bad Company junior interclub & sparring evening

Many thanks to Richard Smith for having our juniors Jack Beaton and Lewis Converoy down to their junior interclub. Very pleased with both boys who showed so much potential given that they have only been training for 4 months. Our adult fighters enjoyed a good evening of sparring too :)

Supremacy FC6

May 2012 Supremacy FC6

Eric Kapas made his semi-pro mma debut at 66kg on the sixth installment of Supremacy winning with the slickest submission of the night at the end of round 1 (voted best sub of the show). Eric is an unbelievable talent who will hopefully continue fighting, he os only 20 years old so plenty of time!

Supremacy FC5

Supremacy FC5 February.

Paul Gregson, Chrissy Quinn and Wayne Lewis all fought on the fifth installment of Supremacy. Paul had a nightmare with 2 different opponents pulling out on him. Luckily he was rematched albeit not with the fight we wanted for him, but many thanks to his opponent for stepping in and making sure Paul got to still fight after a solid 2 month training camp.
Paul won in round 1 via keylock, this will be his last fight at semi-pro.

Chrissy had a great fight with Callum Rose (Hanuman) which he lost on decision. His wrestling has improved a lot and so has his confidence. It was a very close fight especially rounds 1 and 2 but Cal edged it in round 3.

Wayne was fighting for the semi-pro european title against Will McCurdy (Scotland) but lost to an arm bar in round 2. This was his first loss in 7 fights so always a learning curve, but taking nothing away from Will who is an outstanding talent, and we look forward to him defending the strap on Supremacy. This was also Waynes last semi-pro fight, his next one, along with Paul will be pro.

Another top quality promotion from Michael and Luke!
