Drake "Ultimate" Dudley - 10 Year Old Phenom
by Tanner Rhoden, Mod @ www.IronLife.com & IronLife.com Writer
I saw this kid compete a few weeks ago at the Texas Submission Challenge. I have never seen a kid at this age with the skills this kid has. He dominated his age bracket winning one of his matches by submission and the second on points 55 - 0. After he was finished I went up to take some pictures of him for IL and to get some other info on him. I met his father in the process. He gave me a highlight video and some other info on his son. Here is some more background on Drake....
Drake "Ultimate" Dudley trains in Boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling and Vale Tudo. Nicknamed "Ultimate" in Brazil by the coaches of one of Drake's Brazilian opponents. (They had observed his level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and when told he was also an amateur boxer that won the Dallas Golden Gloves Championships for his age, they coined him "Ultimate".) He also shines in the classroom maintaining an A - B average and is on the honor roll. He also enjoys golf and hockey. Drake received his junior Black Belt at the age of 9.
His record in Grappling tournaments is 81 - 4 including his competitions in Brazil.....he has never been tapped out.
He also holds a amateur wrestling record of 35 - 7.
In 2003 Drake accomplished something very special....he won 1st Place in 3 National Tournaments in 3 separate sports - Boxing, Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling.
