Cloudbet, the leading crypto sportsbook and casino, today announced a new partnership with President Awesome ahead of Karate Combat 54 in Dubai on May 2nd, 2025.
Already the official betting partner of Karate Combat, Cloudbet is doubling down on its commitment to the world’s premier striking league. President Awesome, a fan favorite known for blending KC’s cinematic flair with real fight-world energy, will represent Cloudbet as an individual official partner across KC54 and beyond.
"My goal as President of Karate Combat is to bring the world's greatest knockout artists to The Pit and create the best, most unique, combat sports experience you can offer a fan," says President Awesome, "This partnership with Cloudbet embodies that goal.”
President Awesome, Cloudbet ambassador
One of his first acts in his new role will be delivering a money-can’t-buy experience to Cloudbet VIPs attending KC54 this weekend. He’ll be taking Cloudbet VIPs behind the scenes and into the ring, and introducing them to fighters, celebs, and crypto power players in a private VIP lounge.
“President Awesome is a perfect partner for Cloudbet — he embodies ambition, sharp instincts, and a showman’s touch,” said a Cloudbet spokesperson. “We’re backing the athletes and personalities that move culture, not just betting lines.”
Headline bout: Sam Alvey vs. Tyrone Spong for the heavyweight crown
KC54’s main event features a Heavyweight clash between current heavyweight champion Sam Alvey, a veteran UFC brawler with 50+ pro fights, and Tyrone Spong, a world-class striker with accolades in kickboxing, boxing, and MMA.
Both men are known for knockout power and fight IQ — and both are chasing Karate Combat gold. For bettors, it’s a stylistic matchup that rewards insight, not just instincts. Cloudbet’s markets will include moneyline, method of victory, and round-by-round props, all with sharp crypto pricing and high limits.
Muhammad Mokaev enters the pit
Another major storyline: the Karate Combat debut of Muhammad Mokaev, one of the top undefeated prospects in MMA. Known for his relentless fight style and pace, Mokaev’s transition to KC rules adds a new wrinkle to the league’s bantamweight division.
Bettors can expect competitive odds and volatility around Mokaev’s debut — a potential arbitrage opportunity for sharp bettors watching line movement closely.
