A 16× Albanian national karate champion who carried Olympic-style Shotokan out of the dojo and into the cage — 12–2 as a professional, a champion across three regional MMA promotions, now competing in Karate Combat.
Signed to Karate Combat after a championship-decorated regional MMA run — bringing a traditional karateka's distance, timing and blitzing offense to the Pit.
Began Shotokan karate as a child in Albania, training in the traditional art that would become the foundation of everything that followed.
Earned a place on the Albanian national karate team — 16-time national champion, two-time US Open winner, and a Top-8 finish at the World Championships. Owned multiple dojos by age 18.
Turned professional in MMA and won his way onto Bellator cards, then built a championship résumé across the U.S. regional scene, carrying the Albanian flag every walkout.
Claimed and defended regional titles — Triple X Cagefighting, KOTC, and Total Warrior Combat among them — fighting on UFC Fight Pass-broadcast cards and headlining as "The Eagle."
Signed to Karate Combat, bringing a genuine karateka's striking to the league's full-contact Pit — the childhood art come full circle on the sport's biggest karate stage.
"The Albanian faithful were there to bring the house down for their very own Adrian Hadribeaj."
