​Announcers: Josh Palmer, Bas Rutten, Georges St. Pierre
 
Event Location: Somewhere in Las Vegas, NV
 
Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Combat Sports’. Tonight, it is a ‘Shish on Combat Sports’ Special. Karate Combat 43-Pettis vs. Henderson III.
 
Anthony Pettis and Benson Henderson have decided to do their trilogy fight in karate. Pettis won the first fight in WEC (You’ve seen the highlight of that fight). The second fight Pettis defeats him again in UFC. Now the two will be in Karate Combat’s square pit.
 
In the Co-Main Event, Ross Lecine will take on Sam Alvey. Also on the Card, Former BKFC Welterweight Champion Gorjan ‘GoGo’ Slaveski will take on Brandon Jenkins.
 
GoGo did a no-no in taking this fight. He accepted the fight without getting permission Triller/David Feldman’s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. So BKFC striped the Macedonian-born, Northwest Indiana Native of his BKFC Welterweight Strap.
 
 
Here are the bouts for this card:

Final Thoughts:
Benson Henderson was more in shape then Anthony Pettis. It also helped Bendo, the differences in rules between MMA and Karate Combat. But Showtime did just enough to get the 6-round victory. 

Fight of the Night went to Omaira Molina vs. Melinda Fabian. Where Fabian captures the Women's Bantamweight from Omaira Molina due to a doctor's stoppage after the 3rd Round.

Knockout of the Night went to Brandon Jenkins defeating Gorjan 'GoGo' Slaveski by TKO.
