News RIP Duke Roufus

Man, that sucks. Great coach with a great mind for fighting.

Rest in Peace Coach.
 
Sad to hear. Guy had a big presence in the sport
 
Rest in peace. I know he lived a life as a former kickboxer and coach, but 55 is still young. Pettis and Roufus were such a great combo. He knew Pettis' strengths and took him as far as he could - WEC and UFC belts. May his legacy grow strong.
 
Unbelievable....I just saw him cornering Pettis at PFL a few weeks ago and now he's gone :(
 
RIP Duke



Andy waiting to greet you with some clinch knees, maybe an ax kick.


Everyone should watch Duke's brief interview in the beginning, such a nice guy at 24 and the world's lucky he went on to train others.

Just look at the way he ends the statement:

"And I hope the Japanese people like the fight, I fight awesome"

Guy literally lived awesome. Rest in peace.
 
I remember when Shawn Tompkins died and I saw a picture of Sam Stout and Mark Hominick and a few others carrying his casket and they were all in tears. That shit was brutal man almost making me cry right now just thinking about it. :(
 
Rip ; one of the greats. Nothing but good things to say about this man. Absolute legend
 
I always think of Pettis when I hear about Duke. But he had many students.

RIP
