Samuel Ericsson got a big win at Karate Combat 37

The Swedish striker made his Karate Combat debut in July 2021 as he faced fellow debutant Alberto “The Berzerker” Ramirez. By the end of the fight, he had out-landed Ramirez in strikes, and stood as the winner via split decision.

In his last fight at Karate Combat 37 in Florida, Samuel Ericsson made a huge statement as he defeated Tarek Khelifi via a devastating TKO.

“The first calf kick I threw I felt my chin just digging into the back of his leg and I was like ‘I got you’. After the first round I was very confident that it would work again,” Ericsson said in the post-fight interview in Florida.
