History
Rough House was established in the early 1990s by Paul Daley and Matt Howell. They competed in one of the United Kingdoms first MMA events, the KSBO, where they met Dan Hardy and coach Nathan Leverton. After Daley and Howell had great success on the amateur circuit, they decided to turn professional and made regular visits to the United States to seek out the best training. On their return, the team grew as Andre Winner, Jim Wallhead and Dean Amasinger all joined.
