Robelis Despaigne was made for Karate Combat.
On Friday night, Despaigne had his sophomore fight for the upstart combat sports promotion, taking on Marcos Brigagao in the featured fight of the evening. In his debut performance, Despaigne annihilated Dominick Jedrzejczyk in just four second. This time around, Brigagao didn’t fare much better as the Olympic bronze medalist Tae Kwon Do practitioner deliver another lightning quick knockout, stopping Brigagao in under 20 seconds.
Much like his first fight in Karate Combat, Despaigne charged forward immediately and floored Brigagao with his first shot. A volley of punches followed as Brigagao tried to regain his feet but was simply overwhelmed by “The Big Boy.”
Robelis Despaigne does it again!

A highly decorated Tae Kwon Do practitioner, Despaigne transitioned to MMA in 2022 and signed with the UFC after a quick 4-0 start to his career. Despaigne then won his UFC debut, but lost his next two bouts and was cut from the promotion.
