Former Bellator Kickboxing champion and two-time Bellator veteran Gabriel Varga has signed an exclusive promotional agreement with Karate Combat. Promotion officials announced the new deal ahead of the company’s upcoming fourth season, which will debut early next year. A fourth-degree Shotokan black belt, Canada’s Varga (1-1 MMA, 18-6 kickboxing) competed twice in MMA under the Bellator banner, most recently in February 2020. However, he was much more established in the kickboxing world, earning both the Bellator and GLORY featherweight titles. Varga earned the Bellator belt with a 2018 win over American kickboxing standout Kevin Ross.
