Muay Thai Heavyweight World Champion. ==Biography and career== Nathan Corbett started practicing martial arts with karate at age of 14, which led him to shoot boxing and Muay Thai. He turned pro in 1997 and rose to national prominence in 2002 when he defeated Australian legend Scott Bannan with a slicing elbow and followed up his strong performance with a 1st round KO win over Clifton Brown of Canada winning his first WMC World Title.

At 3rd MARS World Fighting GP in Chiba, Japan in 2006 he suffered his first KO loss of his career against American Heavyweight Alex Roberts. Nathan Corbett's fight against Tyrone Spong ended in a controversial decision, with Corbett knocking Spong out with punches but resumed fighting after the referee had stopped the fight, the fight was declared a no contest. On the second round Spong knocked Corbett, who recovered and fought through the round. On the third round, Corbett switched stance to southpaw and caught Spong with a hard right hook. Spong couldn't make the count and the referee waved it off. Corbett alleged that he misunderstood the referee Paolo Tocha as he waved his hands not up high enough and giving his back to him, so he jumped to finish the fight. Fighters as Mark Castagnini and Ray Sefo did support this could be a possibility. He was scheduled to face Nikolaj Falin at ''Kings of Kombat 8'' in Melbourne on 8 December 2012 but his opponent pulled out due to health issues.〔(Steve Moxon Closes Out 2012 With KO Win )〕 He was then reported to be fighting Dzianis Hancharonak at ''Total Carnage III'' in Gold Coast on 9 March 2013 but Hancharonak was already pencilled in to face another opponent close to that date and did not accept the fight,〔(Nathan Corbett vs. Dzianis Hancharonak at Total Carnage III, 9 March )〕〔(Nathan Corbett vs Dzianis Hancharonak – Not Happening )〕 and so Javlon Nazarov stepped in.〔(Total Carnage III Fight Card for 9 March )〕 Finally, Nazarov was replaced by Kamil Sokolowski.〔(March Madness: Muay Thai Fights to Watch This Month )〕 At the beginning of the fight Sokolowski came on Corbett with punches, but was countered with knees and right elbow and fight was over before it even started.〔(Nathan Corbett Gets Quick KO Win at Total Carnage 3 )〕 He signed a two fight contract with Glory in July 2013.〔(Nathan "Carnage" Corbett Signs With GLORY )〕〔(Muay Thai Stand-Out Nathan “Carnage” Corbett Makes the Move to GLORY )〕 In his long-awaited rematch with Tyrone Spong at ''Glory 11: Chicago - Heavyweight World Championship Tournament'' in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, United States on October 12, 2013, he was dropped twice with left hooks in round two and lost by TKO.〔(GLORY 11 Main Event Confirmed as Corbett vs. Spong )〕〔(Tyrone Spong vs. Nathan Corbett and more confirmed for Glory 11 in Chicago )〕〔(GLORY 11 Chicago Live Results and Discussion )〕〔(Glory 11 Results and Recap )〕〔(Tyrone Spong Flattens Nathan Corbett in Technical Fight )〕 At ''Total Carnage IV'' held in Gold Coast on December 14, 2013, Nathan Corbett took a second round elbow TKO win over Henriques Zowa, defending the WKN heavyweight muay Thai world title.〔(Nathan “Carnage” Corbett Returns to Ring at Total Carnage IV Fight Night )〕〔(Nathan Corbett defends his WKN World title in Australia )〕〔(Total Carnage IV Results and Recap )〕〔(Nathan Corbett Back in the Win Column This Weekend )〕 Competing for the inaugural Glory Light Heavyweight Championship, he fought in the ''Glory 15: Istanbul - Light Heavyweight World Championship Tournament'' in Istanbul, Turkey on April 12, 2014.
