Karate specialist scores vicious knock out.
When a lot of people think about karate they tend to dismiss it, laugh it off as simply a martial art with people dressed in pajamas and throwing kicks that couldn’t possibly land. At least that was the notion until Lyoto Machida burst onto the scene and started destroying the competition in the UFC. Since then we have seen a host of different karate practioners take center stage in MMA including Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, Justin Scoggins, and converts like Henry Cejudo.
Now that it has been established that karate has a strong amount of credibility in the striking realm, a new organization has sprouted up to put the martial art form on full display.
Karate Combat is a new promotion that showcases full contact karate at it’s highest level. With karate fighters from all around the globe, Karate Combat is a new platform for those seeking to prove their mettle in a one on one match.
The organization just had it’s first official event, Karate Combat: Inception, in Miami Florida, offering up some of the most talented fighters in karate today. One such combatant is Abdalla Ibrahim, a multiple time karate world champion who saw action against Bellator MMA veteran Josh Quayhagen.
The two had an intense and short match which saw world champion Abdalla Ibrahim score a vicious knockout victory.
Also in action was fellow world champion Adham Sabry who won his contest by unanimous decision in an impressive and hard fought match. With a strong coaching staff at Lynbrook Ultimate Martial Arts And Fitness, consisting of Sensei Mamdouh Ibrahim, Uly Yossef, and a little known managing editor Jonathan Salmon, Abdalla Ibrahim and Adham Sabry were able to score massive victories to start of their Karate Combat career.
The team prepared for the contest through hours of conditioning and sparring that sharpened Abdalla to score a massive victory.
