The operator, not the commentator
Adam S. Kovacs is the founder and CEO of SKOVAX Entertainment. As League President of Karate Combat, he helped build one of the most distinctive combat sports properties in the world: high production value, global audience, a genuine new genre. He went on to co-create Dirty Boxing Championship in 2024.
A former world karate champion with 30+ years in martial arts and black belts in karate and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Adam has run the full stack: fight operations, regulatory compliance, live event production, sponsorship, and media. Today he advises fight promotions and the investors behind them, and writes 3 Minute Fight Week, the newsletter on the business of fighting.
