Pakistan and India will lock horns in a team event at the Dubai Tennis Stadium on April 20 during the Karate Combat 45.
The Karate Combat, the world’s premier full-contact karate league, event in Dubai will be hosted by former mixed martial artists Bas Rutten and George St Pierre, YouTuber Mike Majlak and renowned Indian actor Salman Khan.
In the 3 vs 3 team fight, Pakistan will be led by Shahzaib Rindh and India will be captained Rana Singh.
It must be noted that Rindh created history in February earlier this year after he registered the fastest knockout at Karate Combat 44 in Mexico City. The 25-year-old stunned his opponent, Marco Cubas of Peru, with a knockout in 21 seconds during the first round.
The fight night will begin with Pit Submission series featuring Craig Jones vs Andre Muniz.
The co-main event will include the Bantamweight title fight between Luiz Rocha vs Myrza-Bek Tebuev.
Meanwhile, Luke Rockhold and Joe Schilling go head-to-head in the main event.
