In the first of these, Kellin King of Brian Johnson's Fight Team picked up the NW Fight Challenge 145 lb Kickboxing Title via a unanimous decision in a five round war with Gamebred BJJ's Matt Beal.

Bout 11 - Heavyweight MMA (3x3)
Steve Larsson (Twin Dragons) vs Jake Owens (Brian Johnson FT) results in a DRAW

This was an interesting bout. Owens threw some hard punches with little effect to. Larsson was a little slow getting started but kept the pace up just enough to get the draw. After the fight the referee recovered both of Larsson's contacts from the mat. I am sure Larsson would have performed better if he could have seen a little better. This fight needs to be done again! Fight fans want to see the rematch!

Bout 14 - 170 lb MMA Title (5x3)
Justin Larsson (Twin Dragons) def James Benson (Brian Johnson FT)

by Guillotine Choke @ 2:06 Rd 2

This fight was the most technical of the night. In typical Larsson fashion it was back and forth, & then it was simply over with Justin pulling off a crazy submission out of nowhere. When's this guy going to go pro? He needs to start getting paid for his hard work!


Bout 15 - 170 lb MMA Superfight Title (5x3)
Taurean Washington (AMC) def Harrison Bevens (West Coast Fight Club)

by Triangle Choke @ 1:03 Rd 3

This fight was fought hard and was a little Crazy! A great fight to end the night. Some would say fight of the night? Bevens rocked Washington, tried to pounce on him and ended up in his guard and was caught in a triangle to end the fight!
