Karate Combat Changing Scenery for Event 4

Karate Combat returns with a change of scenery both around the pit and on commentary with Josh Palmer joining Bas Rutten during the action. Palmer has called action with Cage Warriors and Polaris Pro so he is no stranger to combat sports. 

Also, Layla Anna-Lee from the UK will be presenting the event’s new background in the pit that is being called a “punk wasteland” by Karate Combat. The virtual backgrounds are generated by Epic Game’s Unreal Engine and this particular event is said to be using the full power of the technology. Unreal Engine has been used in games like “Fortnite” and the “Gears of War” franchise.

As far as the fights are concerned, a big Brazilian presence occupies the three-fight card. In combat sports, when thinking of Brazil, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu usually comes to mind first but Luiz Rocha and Bruno de Assis are two karatekas hailing from Brazil competing in separate matches to show fans how Brazilian karate holds up in Karate Combat. Returning to action as well is Daniel Viveros who fought in the last event and came up short. Perhaps the change in scenery will change his luck in Karate Combat. Check out the scheduled fights below:

Karate Combat Season 2, Event 4 fight card:

 

Main Event:  Luiz “Pitbull” Rocha (Brazil) vs. Ilies “The Madman” Mardhi (France)
