Rumored Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, Luke Rockhold, and Michael Bisping to fight in a one-night Karate Combat tournament

[Serge421]

Now that Bellator is gone, Karate Combat is the new retirement home for former UFC champs.

Honestly can't wait to see this, should be a lot of fun

Who said it's a done deal?

They need to hold these fights on this stage in MK or its not bein real.

They fight on the moon!

Anderson vs Machida dayyuuum

 

[smart.feller]

Man…this has Yamma 2.0 written all over it…but I’ll still buy it.

 

[MrJPayne]

Loved all of them but not particularly excited to see any of getting KOd. Seems espicially risky for Bisping

 

[achoo42]

luke will get romeroed.

By who?

 

[GrantB13]

Is karate the new bare knuckle for former MMA guys?

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

Yet silva still found a way to lose lol

But he will never lose his fake eye when he takes it out to wash it.

 

[landon]

bisping hasn't fought since 2017! anderson is almost 50! this sounds kind of cool but could easily get depressing in a hurry

wow this blew my mind. He hasnt fought in 7 years??? Surely doesnt feel that long, I would have guessed like 3.

 

[piropiro]

Doesn't Ping have like two full on knee replacements and now straight up completely blind in one eye?
I think he's the last person who should be considering competing in a contact sport again even if it's a exhibition match, plus I remember him saying one of the main reasons for him calling it quits was due to the good eye starting to have issues of its own after the Kelvin KO.

Absolutely! He has various lucrative gigs … to risk his eyesight - and brain health, and artificial knees - for a fight purse is absolutely foolish in my opinion.

I also don’t understand how any commission allows a 40+ half blind man with artificial joints to compete in full contact combat sports.

They fight on the moon!

This is gold lol.

 

[MillingMeSoftly]

Threadly reminder that Michael Bisping absolutely dominated Anderson Silva in their primes

Outstruck him for five rounds Anderson only landed one flying me when Bisping's mouthpiece fell out

 

[jx820]

Luke gets self KOd taking off his warm up gear.

 

[dog y]

Old men can still fight.
...67 year old war veteran showing young mouthy punk what's up.

Epic Bearded Man. Indeed, a classic

 

[Streeter]

As great as Andy is if its a KARATE Tourney (AS stated) Machida wins no thought needed. Whether it's prime form or now.

In a MMA. Tourney if all in Prime Anderson embarrasses all.. if held today for MMA I might go Rockhold just think he may be in best shape.

I don’t believe it. Bisping has no business competing again.

I just hope this means Machdia is retired from mma now and is doing fun karate match ups. I think it does. Miss prime machida
