Karate Combat Lightweight Title: Skrivers vs Rocha 

Karate with the boys

Karate combat really deserves a live streaming deal like ONE. They are unique and offer great production FOR RU-vid! Imagine what they would do with that streaming budget. Netflix needs to adapt and add live streaming. Everyone else has a sport why not get on the hype train of karate combat early?

Love the respect that (most) of these fighters have. Especially at this final bout where they were just having a chat afterwards.

Y'all guys changed my mind about Karate. Never knew that THIS is Karate! I follow your events for quite awhile now and I really enjoy everyone of them. The organization is in every aspect top notch! Probs! ❤️

These karate guys are so much more entertaining then the ufc. Those WILD hands and cool ass kicks!

I've been a fight fan since the early days of UFC. Loved WEC, pride, K1 etc. I've been watching karate combat since the beginning and they are really shaping up into a great organization and it's a perfect balance with traditional karate and also some "new " stuff..the pit walls, 5 second ground n pound (knee on belly or standing) I just really love all of it. Although I'm biased and I'd love to see knees and elbows...but we can't have it all! Really excited for the rest of this season and what's to come

this is awesome - more power to karate combat

If Karate Combat makes a console game with the same control style as UFC undisputed 3 I would snatch that immediately

I like the augmented reality entrance, very cool!

holy shit being able to watch these live is amazing. Can't wait to watch my first full karate combat match!

Wow, what an upset! I knew Rocha improved and was coming into this bout well prepared, but I still expected Skrivers to come out on top as he had shown so little weakness so far. But Rocha was much more composed and compact than I anticipated, and his hands were on point. Didn't expect this. Skrivers seemed off. Kinda timid, almost a bit unfocused. Bad day in the office, or perhaps something weight cut or injury related? Anyways, not to take anything away from Rocha's win, the dude showed no fear of the dominant champion, was crisp end determined and just got it done in an impressive way. Great win, another Pitbull champ!

Robin Black is a great addition to Karate Combat. His analysis is always on point.

This event was awesome! I feel a little dissapointed with Gustavo because he lost the same way as he did with Joshua Quayhagen (the leg kicks fucked him up). Yanchuk knew that was his weakness and exploited it. Rocha vs Skrivers was great. He deserves the title, really good fight.

Rewatching the main event I realized how Rocha was able to neutralize Skrivers patended forward pressure. Rocha didn't let himself get lured into those in the pocket exchanges and always maintained a sort of a mobile mid range, where he was just outside of Skrivers' preferred infighting position. The key was that he wasn't just running, but maintained the distance with strikes. When Skrivers walked in behind the high guard, Rocha always posted with an extended arm and held Skrivers at bay. He basically had an answer to what Skrivers was doing to his previous opponents: put them on the backfoot constantly, walk them down and get in real close behind a high guard and pummel them from there.

Esse cinturão é teu Luiz Rocha...prá cima 👊🏽🇧🇷

I'm keen to see Rafael Aghaev fight again. I think he fought in the 61kg category at the Olympics so maybe he'll try that weight class after competing last time in KC at 75kg. Gabriel Varga (the kickboxing karate 🐐 ) vs Rafael Aghaev (the WKF 🐐 ) at 62kg would be 🔥

Glad to see wonderboy is a part of karate combat now. Congrats in the championship, both fighters fought well!

Beautiful fights, loved the Kudo takedowns by Nikita Yanchuk

Can’t wait to see Gabriel varga

Eitaaa vai ser pipôco, vamos Luizvrocha esse cinturão é nosso... #Brasiiiiiiil🇧🇷👊💥💪

I'm hyped for gabriel vargas debut

Никита Янчук,поздравляем с победой!!!!!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

It’s okay Bas, you were a legend in your 30s so it’s just carried over all this time 😂 once a legend, always a legend

LONG LOVE KARATE COMBAT!!

Looking forward to seeing Rafael compete again. I enjoyed his first bout in karate combat.

Rocha's hooks were so heavily telegraphed and so obvious but man did they have some speed

Como funciona karate combat como es la modalidad como se ingresa y ranquea cuanto cobran los atletas? Saludos cordiales desde Brasil 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🥋

1) Gustavo vs Nikita: Dionicio Gustavo should learn how to check leg kicks or getting his leg out of the way before they get hits. To his credits, Nikita kicks are essentially what gave him the victory. Also, Dionicio should learn basic grappling techniques. He should cross-train a little. You call tell that Nikita is karateka who cross-trained. 2)Skrivers vs Rocha: _ Skrivers kept stand in front of the Rocha as if he was a punching bag. The helmet guard/boxing guard can only work for so much...Rocha used long-hooked punches to pass Skrivers's helmet guard, got him unbalanced and violently pounded him... - Skrivers and Rocha have and excellent level of stand up/striking games. The both cross trained. Cross training definitely pays its dividends!

Никитос, молодец !!!! Болеем за тебя ..

A lot of people criticize sport karate but the main winners of fights are the ones who fight in sport karate

Amazing event! All fights were intense

Brazil porra!🇧🇷 In combat sports no one beats us.

Me encanta Karate Combat! 🥋🔥👏🏼

Que luta top..parabéns para o Luís Victor 👏👏👏orgulho

I dont understand why they call a back stance "muay thai stance" when karate also has a back stance...

Andrés Madera🇻🇪 excelente .todo nuestro apoyo desde de Venezuela ,excelente karateca sensei dejando siempre nuestro país en alto Dios te Bendiga y cuide siempre.🥋

Bora fazer valer o cuscuz Luiz Victor🇧🇷

God damn I love Karate Combat!

Parabéns a Luis Rocha. Mas tem que haver revanche, o cara ainda aguentava lutar.

Edgars Skrivers ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻

Maybe Skrivers should have amped it up to 75%

Brazil Will be only the unique country Will have in male and female division on karate kombat have 2 belts, 3 belts for each champ.🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴. And no other country on the podium with the belt. Congrats Luiz ya deserve forever. Kill others. Have sucess on Kkombat.

No matter what The bearslayer will be back stronger 🇱🇻💪

Some great Sei-ken Mawashi-uchi strikes from Rocha! Nitpicking a bit: for Season 5, would like to see Karate Combat redesign the Gold Belt a little bit (maybe to look like a Godan (5th degree) Black Belt or Red Belt) to distinguish it a bit more from a Kyu-level Yellow Belt.

That skrivers-rocha fight steal the whole show man🔥🔥

BENDICIONES HERMANO YO TAMBIÉN SOY VENEZOLANO Y ME GUSTAN LOS COMBATES, HASTA YO QUISIERA PARTICIPAR

Bora Luiz Victor!!! 🇧🇷

This aged well, congrats on 2 belts 💯💯

Hallo from Ukraine!!! Yanchuk louzer!!! Thanks USA for Lend-lease!!! Karate Combat super!!!

01:01:10 Skrivers vs Rocha

Gandalf the Gray in d HOUSE!!!

This is fucking cool

Karate kombate should come to Fernando de Noronha island on Brazil. On this season of kkombat brothers.

Boa sorte Luiz.🇧🇷🇧🇷

Bas. The man who made palm strikes look deadly.

rocha no doubt deserves a huge appriciation however skrivers shouldnt fight standing so straight and always eating all the strikes. he should move rite and left on his feet.

First I’ve seen of KC. Very impressive!

Love it!!

Parabéns Luís PitBull caçador.

Никита молодец!!!! Поздравляем!!!! Хабаровск лучший!!!!!

Andres with the dub

amazing punches by rocha

That first fight was hard to watch 😅

Skrivers gave it to him...... What the Fnck!

Definitely want to see that rubber match

Arriba Andrés Madera 🇻🇪

37:40 it's not an ouchi gari, an ouchi gari is an inner leg reap, "between two legs". What you see is a kosoto gake, an outer hook

Найз инглиш май браза. Алекс Уолков ис ин шейм ту спик лайк зис. Рафик из нот гуилти!

Luiz got straight to work 🥋

Come to Vancouver for a show !

Gostei do evento. Bacana.

Yoel Romero is in the crowd

This makes me want train karate again, but they will surely concentrate almost 100% on kata, which is why I left :(

Great job Rocha! Skrivers deserved to get knocked out!! He was being too cocky.

Никита 🔥💪💪💪

Rafael ❤❤❤❤

Great fights except for when you get two counter fighters and who cancel each other out~

First fight: Why not allow the fighters to fight the third round??? Give the fighters a chance to get a knockout. Last fight: Luiz Rocha is the man.

Conheceee demais caraai

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣he wants jushwa belt also how courage is this🤷😱😱😱 ok we will wait you our hero next week 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 .

get on to the next fight

In round 1 I saw skrivers get hit with a hook and was like yep, he's got a good shell guard protecting his centre, but the sides of his face are open. Sure enough he gets knocked down & then hit with 3/4 hooks to the sides of his head in the second round. Also his high guard was exposing him to a lot of body kicks in both rounds. I know how those can tire you and I've been dropped by them before so maybe that's why he looked a little off. Good game planning from his opponent but now I wonder how skrivers's previous opponents didn't capitalise on those opportunities.

🙏

Love the sport just don't like the whole neo aspect giving me weird futuristic bidding vibes like that one scene in Shang-chi. If they kept it just Karate styled fighting in a unique pit, it would actually be perfection. But indeed a very entertaining sport to watch especially since they keep the rooted martial arts part of it.

On god

Them two leg kicks by yanchuk changed the game gustavo.gustavo was thrown off by the involuntary stance switch

Никитос, так держать 🇷🇺

🇧🇷👍🏽

We want Joshua to show himself and answer this dangerous challenge, he challenges him in front of everyone and in the middle of the ring and promises him to take his belt, he has to accept the challenge and set his date for us, otherwise we will consider him defeated.🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷

I´m here because of the wonderboy

VENEZUELA ...🇻🇪🔥SHURY-RYU 👊🏽💥🥋

Skrivers have himself to blame for losing the belt..trying to fight boxing Peek-a-boo style. No foot movements.

Никита 💯

🔥🔥🔥

Everything about Karate Combat is great except Robin Black .

How is the challenger for the golden belt chosen????

Here for MACMALLY☘️

Michael venom page would be good at this
