Karate Combat returns Thursday night (September 27) with an eight-fight event which – in a first for any combat sport – will take place on the 102nd floor of One World Trade Center in New York City.
The first two bouts, Gabrielle Cera vs Fernando Paz and Mathus Silva vs Edgar Skrivers, will be exclusive to UFC FIGHT PASS. The rest of the event will be also be live on UFC FIGHT PASS, along with Karate.com and other platforms.
That the new promotion chose to hold a fight event 1,700ft above the streets of Manhattan is not nearly as surprising as you’d expect, given that the promotion in question is Karate Combat.
