If you tuned in for Virtual Fight Tour III, you know that the promotion has continued to bring sport karate fans world class talent and excellent match ups. The brand looks to stay hot with Virtual Fight Tour IV and the announcement of five new showdowns to compliment the highly-anticipated team fighting clash between Team All Stars and Top Ten Team USA on December 19th.

Point fighting legend and ageless wonder Jason Bourelly (pictured above) of Team KTOC will take on Venezuelan veteran Yoskar Gamez of Team Legend, who added an impressive win to his résumé at an earlier Virtual Fight Tour event when he defeated El-Java Abdul-Qadir. If that test of experience and fight IQ wasn't enough, two exciting women's bouts have also been announced for the card. Team Legend's Hope Hamilton will face Brianna Nurse and Team KTOC's Melanie Ortiz will go to battle against Theresa Reese Thoulouis in a couple of matches that are expected to be very well-contested.

But wait, there's more! Jerrell Dawson, brother of heavyweight superstar and Virtual Fight Tour III main event winner Kameren Dawson, will challenge Team Legend's young star Kristhian Rivas in an intense lightweight match. Finally, in what is arguably the most surprising announcement of the card, grappling will make an appearance at Virtual Fight Tour IV. Chris Walker, known for his widely respected point fighting career for Team All Stars, will be rolling with Mario Ramirez to determine who will take home the first grappling win for the promotion.
