BRAVE Combat Federation has revealed a truly global fight card for BRAVE CF 92 with nine nations represented
The most global MMA organization in the world, BRAVE Combat Federation, has announced the full fight card for BRAVE CF 92, scheduled to take place on December 15 at the Khalifa Sports City Arena in Bahrain.
The event, which will conclude a historic year for BRAVE Combat Federation, will be headlined by a Middleweight showdown between former two-division BRAVE CF champion Mohammad Fakhreddine and Algerian knockout artist Abdel Rahmane Driai. Fakhreddine, returning to BRAVE CF after a short hiatus, will aim to re-enter the Middleweight title picture, while Driai will look to make a strong first impression in the most global MMA organization by defeating a former two-division champion.
In addition to the main event, the card will feature a series of India vs. Pakistan matchups, reaffirming BRAVE CF’s commitment towards the growth of MMA in both the nations.
The highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan rematch between India’s Srikant Sekhar and Pakistan’s Rizwan Ali will serve as the co-main event of the night. In their first encounter at BRAVE CF 85 in Pakistan, Rizwan secured a third-round knockout win. He will aim to replicate his success, while Srikant will be determined to avenge his loss and bring a victory home for India.
BRAVE CF veteran and Indian MMA star Mohammed Farhad, following a viral knockout victory in his last India vs. Pakistan fight at BRAVE CF against Uloomi Karim, will face another Pakistani opponent, Babar Ali, who comes into this fight on the back of a first-round knockout win.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Abbas Khan and Ismail Khan, on the back of their wins at BRAVE CF 85 in Pakistan, will take on India’s Seth Rosario and Yadwinder Singh respectively. Seth and Yadwinder will be making their promotional debuts at the event, hoping to earn bragging rights for India in the rivalry.
The Flyweight showdown between Pakistan’s Aqib Awan and India’s Ehtesham Ansari will round out a total of five India vs. Pakistan matchups on the fight card, highlighting the iconic sporting rivalry.
Beyond the India vs. Pakistan matchups, Indian Judo Champion Suchika Tariyal will make her promotional debut against the Philippines’ Jhen Buzon.
Arab superstar Izzeddine Al Derbani, building on his impressive win at BRAVE CF 84 in China, will face Ukrainian superstar Omar Solomanov in a high-stakes Featherweight clash when Rami Hamed vs Salamat Orozakunov at Super Welterweight and a Super Lightweight clash between Bahrain’s Mohamed Yosif Abdulrahman and Egypt’s Abdallah Mohamed will complete the fight card, representing a total of nine nations.
