Karate Combat heads back to Miami in December with KC51 headlined by Arturo Vergara vs Eoghan Chelmiah — after KC62’s Alvey-Hall five-rounder in Doral showed the pit rewards volume, not single shots.
What Happened
KC62 in July in Doral saw Sam Alvey outpoint Uriah Hall over five, with Assli’s head-kick KO and Antunes’ R3 stoppage. The league now builds KC51 in Miami for December — Vergara (Miami native) vs Chelmiah (KC world champ) tops the card per karate.com.
Why It Matters
Karate Combat’s Miami apex is becoming a home — two Doral cards then a coastal return. Full-contact striking with no clinch stall fits Dojo Ink — if it wouldn’t earn respect on the mats, it doesn’t score in the pit.
