Karate Combat touches down for the first time in 2023 tonight, as Karate Combat 38 goes down live from the Mediapro Studios in Miami, Florida.
The main event puts the middleweight title on the line, as champion Ross Levine defends his belt for the first time against familiar foe Igor de Castaneda. “Turbo” Levine and “The Iberian Bull” de Castenda fought early last year, with Levine earning a second-round TKO stoppage in a title eliminator. Levine went on to defeat Shahin Atamov at Karate Combat Season 4 Episode 4 to earn the championship, while de Castaneda rebounded with a Knockout of the Year candidate over Franklin Mina at Karate Combat 36.
