Karate.
Kung-fu.
Two revered forms. Two foundational styles.

Many have trained with it. Few have won with it. But only two people in the world have defined what it means, pushed the limits of their art form beyond its limits, and elevated it to lethal brilliance.

They have met each other twice. Fought twice. Both times, they were dead even.

It was a stalemate that everyone thought would never be resolved, and as the royal roads they walked on diverged, their paths were paved with the bodies of those they decimated on their way to being the undisputed best of their craft.

One of them, an unshakable beast who has razed her foes with relentless force, suffocating pressure, and boundless skill that can make even the best fighters alive look like novices by comparison. In the process, she has ascended beyond mere champion to karate’s demonic femme fatale, a ruler with a heavy metal hand. Yet she hasn’t conquered the only other person the world calls the greatest.

The other, an unbreakable master, the only one who has perfected 10,000 kicks 10,000 times each. With a combat heritage sturdier than oak, Hong Kong’s superwoman has shown time and time and time again why she’s the legendary exponent of kung-fu and the most complete martial artist alive today. She has vanquished every foe from every land, and made every fighter bow to her glory — except for one.

Now, at the biggest stage in all of combat sports, two titans of women’s fighting will settle the score once and for all. In a match that can cement a legacy and tear the other asunder, everything is on the line.

But first: the most elegant grappler in the world looks to defend her throne against the wildfire burning through the ranks of EVO’s best; a challenger who will meet the champion head-on, and prove the world why she’s worthy of the women’s featherweight belt.

Then: the Korean King of Fighters — once considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world — throws down the gauntlet against Japan’s fastest-rising superstar in a five-round match to determine who advances in the much-awaited Seniors Finale coming next week.

And finally, for the main event of the evening: the towering Immortal Queen of Chinese Kung-Fu takes on Japan’s ferocious Iron Tigress of Karate. One. Last. Time.

Tonight, in the Final Stage of the journey, an audience of billions shall become witness to the epic conclusion of one of the most mythical wars in martial arts history, waged by the only two goddesses equipped to fight it till the bitter end.

Live from Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, this is the first night of Evolution Championships Finale: Chun-li vs Kazumi III. And it starts...
RIGHT NOW.
