Karate Combat Confirms First Event Fight Card

Karate Combat kicks off this May with the first event of season four.

Set for May 14, the card features Ross Levine and Igor de Castaneda in a title eliminator at middleweight.

Levine and de Castaneda have been on collision course since Levine entered the Karate Combat ranks. Their rivalry, which began with an exchange of loaded comments on social media, has grown into an intense antagonism which will now be settled in this high-stakes encounter.

“Ross Levine and Igor de Castaneda are at the top of the middleweight division and they’ve developed a real rivalry which they want to settle in The Pit. Now we’re making it happen and the stakes couldn’t be higher, because the winner of this contender eliminator fight will go forward to face Shahin Atamov for the Karate Combat World Middleweight Championship,” said Adam Kovacs, Karate Combat President.

Lazar Kukulicic meets Mitchell Thorpe and Sthefanie Oliveira battles Fabiola Esquivel in other main card action. 

Georges St-Pierre and Stephen Thompson are set to be part of the season, helping work with the fighters.
