Name

Similarly to K-1, the K's in the KOK name stand for Kickboxing, K-1, Karate, Kung-Fu, and other stand-up fight sports and martial arts. They also stand for “King” so “King of Kings” is meant as the best in the world.

In January 2022, a distribution partnership through United Fight Alliance on U.S. networks was announced.[13]
