MIAMI – Karate Combat president Asim Zaidi is critical of his own performance as a leader, so when he sees another face of a combat sports promotion making questionable moves, he has plenty of things to say. In this case, “President Awesome” directed some criticism toward’s PFL co-founder Donn Davis, who is effectively one of the frontmen for the MMA promotion. Davis has recently been the subject of criticism due to the PFL’s handling of Bellator fighters it acquired, his knowledge of MMA, and more. “Honestly, I hate saying this because he seems like a nice guy – I would love to sit with him and just understand,” Zaidi told MMA Junkie. “Maybe I’m misunderstanding him.

Karate Combat president Asim Zaidi has bold ambitions for his promotion in 2025. After its inaugural event in February 2018, Karate Combat has steadily climbed into becoming a notable combat sports promotion. With a ruleset that allows almost all striking techniques as well strikes to a grounded opponent if it’s in the pursuit of a finish, the events, which occur inside a unique Karate Combat Pit, are build for violence and highlights. With a past and current roster that includes former UFC fighters, decorated international strikers, violent up-and-comers and promising but relatively unknown prospects, Karate Combat has achieved the difficult feat of relevance – even if only in spurts. The past two years in particular have seen the most growth in momentum, and it’s Zaidi’s goal to enhance that even further this year, starting with Friday’s Karate Combat 52 event in Miami (YouTube)
