BRAVE Combat Federation is set to welcome back one of its most electrifying athletes as Rami Hamed, Lebanon’s knockout sensation, makes his highly anticipated return. The powerhouse striker has signed a multi-fight deal with the world’s most global MMA promotion and will rejoin the Super Welterweight division at BRAVE CF 92, on December 15, at Khalifa Sports City in Bahrain.
Hamed’s return comes at a pivotal moment in his career. After leaving BRAVE CF during the pandemic following a submission loss to Issa Isakov, Rami has been on a mission to rebuild his legacy. The Lebanese star has achieved a flawless 5-0 record since his departure, finishing most of his fights in spectacular fashion and reminding fans why he’s one of the most feared finishers in the sport.
For his comeback fight, Hamed will face Salamat Orozakunov, a versatile finisher from Kyrgyzstan. Orozakunov’s grappling skills have troubled many opponents, but he’s also shown vulnerability in striking exchanges—most notably in his knockout loss to Eliezer Kubanza. This matchup offers Hamed a clear path to victory, as his devastating striking and ability to capitalize on openings will be a significant threat to Orozakunov.
Looking beyond his upcoming fight, Rami has already set his sights on climbing the Super Welterweight ladder swiftly: a future showdown with Eliezer Kubanza. “King Kong” has become a notable force in the division, and a win against him could catapult Hamed into title contention.
A Star-Studded Card
Rami’s return is just one of many highlights at BRAVE CF 92. The event will also feature the comeback of another Lebanese superstar, Mohammed “The Latest” Fakhreddine, who takes on Algeria’s Abdel Rahmane Driai in the Middleweight division. Fakhreddine, a two-division champion, is looking to reassert his dominance.
Adding to the excitement, BRAVE CF 92 will host the second iteration of India vs. Pakistan, reigniting a fierce rivalry as athletes from the two neighboring nations settle their differences inside the cage.
