KOA Combat, headed by Jay Javellana, held their inaugural fight night on May 7th inside the Green River CC gym in Auburn, with a total of 8 amateur fights taking place as well as some awesome music from the Inochi Taiko drum group. There was also a very special raffle with the proceeds going to help one of the nicest guys in the sport, Kalahi Martial Arts' head Lou Faralan, who is fighting Leukemia.

Two Championship belts were up for grabs in the 145 lb and 155 lb weight classes. In the first of these, Team Blackout's Chad Tilton submitted Paul Begnaud by way of guillotine choke late in the 3rd round to win the Featherweight Title.

 

The Lightweight belt went to Paul DeVeglio out of Enumclaw's Combat Sports & Fitness who took every round from Ethnic Fights MMA's Paul Njoku in a fight that was much closer than the judges scorecards would seem to reveal.

 

Jay Javellana and his wife Lyrlene also own Venom Fight Skinz which was one of the events many sponsors that also included Elite Massage Professionals, Bakke Brothers Brand Jerky, Ali'i & Sumo's Hawaiian Grill, Applebees, & Costco.
