The Superfan's Unofficial Karate Combat Rankings - KC35 Update

Explaining the Rank Changes post-KC35:

After the Karate Combat Superfight, both fighters not only kept their belts but their rankings as well. After winning a Majority Decision over Josh Quayhagen, Luiz Rocha solidified his position as the #1 P4P fighter in Karate Combat.

But KC35 did shake up the Men’s Pound 4 Pound. With the return of the Heavyweights, Achraf Ouchen joins the P4P rankings at #6 after a brutal KO victory over Elhadji Ndour.

Raymond Daniels vacated his Bellator Kickboxing Title when he made his debut against Franklin Mina. He would win the fight with a dominant unanimous decision victory against the former Middleweight Title Contender to secure the #2 ranking in the division.

Finally, there was a position swap at Bantamweight. Jesus Lopez moves past Illies Mardhi to take the #3 ranking in the division with a win over Gabriel Stankunas on short notice.
