Luke had a pretty good kicking game about 10 years ago, but that seemed to leave him. I'm guessing injuries got the best of him. I don't think he shoud do anything except maybe grapple at this point.

That's one random match-up that I would have never expected.

I'll watch it.

Yeah best of luck. Maybe Rocksalt will find his niche in KC though.

A bit random to make them fight in Karate Combat, it's massively restricting both of them in terms of allowed techniques compared to what they're use to. It would have been more interesting in a Kickboxing ruleset IMO.

Having said that, I'll still watch.
