Karate Combat: Sensation Gabriel Varga debuts vs Bruno Assis 

Varga is way ahead of the competition in terms of technique and cardio

This fight is a pleasure to watch, Varga's volume and precision is astounding. Assis is a tough opponent, a weaker fighter would have fallen mid-fight.

Varga is a known champion, no doubt, and it was awesome to see him fighting. Great cardio, consistency and power output. On top of all, a very humble man. I think this was a very beneficial fight to Bruno too, because he has just started his journey, and he showed once more what a great warrior he is. #Brazil 🔥

Soon as Varga gets used to the ruleset he will be unstoppable. I’ve been waiting for someone like him to make the transition since this started. He will be the catalyst to make these karate fighters improve their hands.

Nice boxing skills from varga and lovely head movement. Was a good match

I’ve been on Team Varga for a good long time now. Very happy to see him make a great debut in KC. Assis is a fierce competitor no doubt; But Vargas accuracy and volume all the way to the closing bell made all the difference in this one.

I was excited when Varga announced he'd be participating in Karate Combat. Glad to finally see him in action under the ruleset.

He said in a video that learning how to box is what takes you to the next level in kickboxing, he showed it in that fight

Karate Combat is the Future 🔥

Assis isn't a bad fighter, but this fight shows that like a lot of more "traditional" martial arts practioners, he clearly has a HUGE lack of experience when it comes to dealing with boxers. Gabriel tamed and schooled him the entire fight.

I just love to see that level of respect between fighters, it's so heartwarming to watch

I appreciate how Bruno was able to keep a smile on his face throughout the whole thing

Varga is the Man! Best fighter on the roster by a margin.

Great to see Karate Combat with quality martial artists. I thought Bruno had an excellent first round. Huge Vargas fan being a Canadian. Excellent body work and his pace in the third round combined with his focus on mixing up the leg kicks was exciting to watch! Huge fan here Karate Combat!!!

This was amazing to watch! I enjoy seeing Gabriel fight and love his RU-vid channel full of awesome striking tips and workouts!

Bruno Assis: "I'm goign to try and finish this early." Bas:"Oof. Good luck with that." 😅

Great performance by Varga.

One Varga gets some legit grappling training he's going to be unstoppable. He's already a phenomenal technician.

Varga by superior boxing! And the best moment of Bruno was that judo throw, sorry to the karate purists but that's the truth

Great fight. Beautiful technique from Varga and Bruno.

Incredibly well matched fight!

Gabe is the best fighter out of all the fighters you have.

Love how Karate Combat always have legendary commentator like GSP, Wonderboy🎉

Varga was just lazer focused all fight, that's what it takes.

Epic debut

Lots of respect for each other, so emotional for me.

Best fight of the night. Props for Bruno taking the fight.

Glad to see someone who can throw proper hooks. Welcome Mr Varga. Also this venue and setting is so fucking cool.

IMO Gabriel Varga is the best addition to KC roster ever With his Elite background he's gonna put everyone to the test

Beautiful fight

Very entertaining fight, great technique and heart from both Bruno and Gabriel! Bravo!

This is a high level kickboxing fight .

Varga is awesome, and there's no surprise to him winning. I had fun watching Bruno, though. I'll definitely be looking to see him again. That kid has some freakish strength for his size.

Karate fighters have to do something to deal with mid range boxing. Their punches are hard but sloppy.

INCROYABLE

When a Savage meets a technician. Great power by Bruno, great technique by Varga nad great respect for both fighters❤

Assis is tough, but Gabriel is on another level. You can learn even by just watching his fight.

Gabriel's a beast. And his yt channel is a goldmine for kickboxing

This was so entertaining, it was a lot like a kickboxing match xP

Varga is a k1 and Bellator champion

What a good fight, I'm going to congratulate Bruno my compatriot for fighting well against Gabriel, a fighter of the highest level, a great champion!

Varga's boxing was awsome in this fight!

There is something different in his style of high guard in small gloves. Few people does it so well. His protection is really good.

Varga has better boxing than most of the other fighters, I think

WAAARRRR VARGA!!!! 🏆

It's pure kickboxing in a new format, that's why it's exciting to me ateast...no shotokan ballet dancers from last olympics here lol

que buena pelea, una de las mejores que he visto en esta compañia

Varga is too good for Karate Combat! Great performance

The first round Was Very Impressive both of these Athletes Landed Perfect Shots 👍🏿⭐️👍🏿⭐️👍🏿⭐️👍🏿⭐️🙏🏿👍🏿⭐️👍🏿⭐️👍🏿⭐️

Here to support the homie Gabriel Varga🥊

Congratulations gabriel hard luck bruno good fight

That harai goshi straight to a punch to the face was great. Bruno should have leaned into his grappling !

This fight was quality!

I've been following Varga for years. Bruno can hold his head up high it was very close.

Congratulations Gabriel Varga!!! 😁💯🥊🥋

Gabriel is a BEAST! Go check out his RU-vid page! Great stuff!

Vargas boxing won it.

My guy

i don't see any lightweight who can stop varga cso

Woooo Gabriel Varga 🙏💪

Assis was all heart. A great fighter. It's just that his level 7 is against Varga's level Legend right now

Varga is by far the superior striker, but there are still some gaps in the karate skills

👏👏👏

🇧🇷👍🏽1

Varga nice kickboxing style

Marc Goddard looking like he's ready for a Mike Bisping fight in mother England

Dude this was a great fight better than what i see in the UFC in terms of striking almost as good as One Championship MT but guys on that roster are just next level, i don't understand it though Varga's is a kickboxer / Nak Muay fighter whats he doing on here is he a student of Karate as well? ... There's clear muay thai dominate approach being put on display by Varga's and Bruno's throwing judo moves in there so i'm confused because you're calling this Karate combat ... this looks like cage fighting without the grappling at this point which regardless is still wildly entertaining especially with how the ring is setup and the talent you guys are pulling in, but evidently there's more than just karate going on here ... Congrats to Varga's that dudes got the fire in him and an engine, great boxing fundamentals from him as well, that leg sweep from Bruno though was clean asf ...

Guys need to make better use of the wall. Nothing stopping them from just shoving their opponent into it & immediately pouncing while they can't defend themselves.

Aghayev vs Varga is the real deal

So dope. Go Varga!

🥊

3:50 His brother made the trip from Vancouver Ireland????

Why is it not legal to kick above the knee? Is that a rule in traditional karate competitions?

Have they changed the rules at all yet? I don't see why they didn't allow knees and elbows to the body as that is even allowed in kyokushin.

How come the fighters put mouth guard in for winner announcement?

En España no hay esa competicion??

Is that marc goddard?

Very good fight! . But Asiss Win..

Didn't know that judo throws are legal 😅

Harai Goshi my ass - but they are just striking commentators, so be it.

Varga could have done much more from his past fights I have seen Varga could have destroyed Assis - I believe his volume and and checks were off!

Varga getting the strap soon

Karate combat is so nice to watch like muay thai, but not with elbows. Nope fucking ground and pound

This has nothing to do with Karate tho.., just as WWE had nothing to do with actually wrestling. At least this is for real, I guess..

Karate Looks Like a normal Kickboxfight😆

KC has some of the whackest rules. Allow knees and kicks to quads!

Great fight. Both looked weak on the cardio side.

this is just mma fighting

The commetators are annoying

This isn't karate

I think bruno won that fight tbh
