Karate Combat is quickly becoming one of the premier promotions for both fans and fighters in the combat sports world.
Asim Zaidi is the president of Karate Combat and he has a list of former UFC fighters that he would like to add to the promotional roster.
“I was already dealing with this. I was already getting in contact with these big names. I have a long list of giant names. … I’m talking to Jose Aldo. I was talking to Lyoto Machida, Darren Till, Luke Rockhold. I’m talking to… I don’t want to release that one. But that’s the level of names we’re speaking of. Tyrone Spong, I can say also. That’s the level of names we’re talking to. Everyone on that level you can imagine, yes, I’m speaking to them. I’m interested in having them. We’re changing the brand a whole lot. This was the debut of what I’m trying to change, the new direction. In 2024, you’re going to see something insane. You will continue seeing these big names and you’ll continue seeing a show that’s so different,” Zaidi said after Karate Combat 43 (transcript via Nolan King of MMA Junkie).
The promotion recently held Karate Combat 43, which featured such UFC veterans as Anthony Pettis, Ben Henderson and Sam Alvey in action.
