Robelis Despaigne already has a new home for his fighting career. The Olympic medalist in taekwondo has signed with Karate Combat following his recent and, to some, surprising release from the UFC. Karate Combat announced the signing of Despaigne on Monday evening. Despaigne is scheduled to debut at Karate Combat 51. No opponent or date was revealed, although the promotion does have plans to host an event in December.
