Nathan "Carnage" Corbett (born 23 October 1979) is a retired former Australian 11-time Muay Thai World Champion, hailing out of the Urban Fight Gym, Gold Coast. He was the WMC Muaythai Cruiserweight World champion, the K-1 Scandinavia 2007 tournament champion, and former World Kickboxing Network (WKN) Muay Thai Heavyweight World Champion. Former 10-time Muay Thai World Champion and Australian legend John Wayne Parr respectfully refers to him as "the elbow master".
Nathan Corbett started practicing martial arts with karate at the age of 14, which then led him to shoot boxing and Muay Thai.
Corbett turned professional in 1997 and rose to national prominence in 2002 when he defeated Australian legend Scott 'The Cannon' Bannon with a slicing right elbow. He then followed up this strong performance with a 1st-round KO win over Clifton Brown of Canada, winning his first WMC World Title.
On 26 June 2005 at Xplosion 10 event in Australia, Corbett won his second WMC World Title over Russian fighter Magomed Magomedov.
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 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.
