Elhadji Ndour, a karate superstar, is brutally knocked unconscious and left with serious injuries.

KARATE star Elhadji Ndour was viciously knocked out heavyweight rival Achraf Ouchchen, and required medical attention.

After Ouchen's 2018 points win, the Karate Combat team was rematched in Orlando.

It was action-packed from the opening bell, as the duo continued to play in the pit.

The fight ended abruptly in round 2. Ouchen had landed a huge right hand.

This sent Ndour reeling and forced him to cover up for the onslaught that was coming at him.

Ouchen smelled blood and took it all in, reigning in a series of hammering shots.

Ouchen's thudding power caused Ndour's head to bounce off the canvas.

The referee was forced to intervene, and the fight was canceled. Bas Rutten and Georges St-Pierre watched from the commentary box.

St-Pierre stated, "It showed how much heart they have. They went through incredible pain during that fight.

"They hit each other with a lot strength and force. Both men were exhausted after the fight.

Ndour of Senegal was taken to the hospital and helped to his feet by medical staff, just minutes after he had been knocked unconscious.

Ouchen, a gold medalist in African Games for Morocco, kept his word and refused leave it in the hands of the judges.

He stated, "I was the victor from our first fight, I came back this time, a new person, a new fighting style, and new striking.

I promised you guys a great show and I believe I delivered. I made it clear and I am so excited to do this.

"I would like to thank all my sparring partners, and all my coaches."
