Karate Combat’s Gods of Olympus

In keeping with the theme of exotic locations, Karate Combat staged its latest event at the historic Zappeion Courtyard on Saturday in Athens, Greece. The show’s look and feel represented a cross between a video game and the underground fights featured in the 1991 film “Lionheart,” which starred Jean Claude Van Damme. Strange as it may sound, it was exactly what organizers were shooting for.

A social media post from Karate Combat indicated that interest in the event and the traffic it created led to some technical difficulties with the stream.

The knockouts were plentiful, just as they were at the promotion’s offering in Miami on April 26.
