Karl Roberson’s introduction to professional kickboxing was quite unique to say the least.
The 26-year-old fighter, who recently got his ticket to the big leagues of MMA by scoring a 15-second knockout at Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 3, is no stranger to high-level competition despite having fewer than 10 professional bouts in both MMA and kickboxing combined.
Back in August of 2015, Roberson got a call to serve as a late replacement in a kickboxing bout overseas. That bout would mark Roberson’s professional debut, having only two amateur bouts under his belt.
