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)

Aline, who has competed three times in MMA before, is currently fully focused on her career with Karate Combat. She returns to action Friday at Karate Combat 52 in Miami (YouTube) when she takes on Gisela Luna. Although they are in two different places in their combat sports journey, Aline, 34, said she enjoys having her brother by her side, even when it brings an additional level of pressure and attention. “I feel really happy with all the attention that I’m getting, that people are showing my work,” Pereira told MMA Junkie through an interpreter. “This fight is another day for me to showcase my skills.
