Karate Combat 53 saw a repeat performance from UFC veteran Robelis Despaigne, who delivered a devastating knockout to Roggers Souza just eight seconds into the fight. This latest victory adds to Despaigne’s impressive record in Karate Combat, where he has finished two opponents with lightning-fast speed.
The Cuban fighter, 36, had previously made a name for himself in the UFC before exiting after three fights. However, he seems to have found his footing in Karate Combat, taking down opponents in as little as four and 12 seconds. Despaigne is now signed to compete in the Global Fighting League (GFL) but remains open to competing in both organizations if schedules permit.
Despaigne’s latest win solidifies his reputation as a force to be reckoned with in Karate Combat, and fans will be eager to see what he does next. For more discussion on this and other MMA news, follow MMA Junkie on Instagram and YouTube.
