KARATE COMBAT returns to Miami for KC 52 on Friday, January 24th.

We're starting the year with a BANG with a battle for the belt between two of the baddest lightweights ever to enter the pit.

Pakistani star, Shahzaib Rind the first champion under the evolved ruleset, defends his belt against The First Karate Combat Lightweight Champion, European Champion & Shotokan World Champion Edgars Skrivers.

How will current KC Lightweight Champion, Rind's freestyle karate and fast knockouts match up against Skrivers experience in the Pit. It's a battle that will define the division. 

After a stunning debut at KC51 - and our fastest ever knockout Robelis Despaigne returns to the pit for KC52 - and this time, he might even break a sweat.
