Borislav Nikolić Defends Bantamweight Title in BRAVE
The headline match: Borislav Nikolić, the reigning champion, versus the hometown hero and challenger, Hamza Kooheji. The crowd was wild, the BRAVE CF bantamweight title fight was on the line, and while Hamza had the home-field advantage, there’s a reason Borislov is the reigning champion.
The Serbian brute threw a barrage of strikes at Kooheji, forcing a TKO in the 4th Round! The hometown hero fell short against the power and forceful strikes of the fearless Nikolić. The crowd fell silent as Bahrain was rooting for their Hero to emerge victorious, but as they say, better luck next time. Nonetheless, it was a battle well fought! Brave CF 100 had results that no one could have predicted!
Mokaev crowned as the first-ever BRAVE CF Flyweight Champion
The Punisher Mokaev definitely punished Gerard Burns, subjecting him to relentless and powerful strikes early on in the second round! Mokaev was crowned as the First Ever Brave CF 100 Flyweight Champion of the World, and now his eyes are set on Borislov, claiming that he would be watching the main event quite closely. We could see a champion versus champion bout in 2026!
About the fight, it was short and sweet, much to the displeasure of Burns, but Mokaev proved why he is nicknamed the punisher with a ridiculous head kick KO! The absolutely fearless display sent shockwaves through the crowd, and they got their money’s worth with this fight, seeing MMA performed at its most intense capacity, which nearly blew the roof off Khalifa Sports City Stadium!

Alex Lohore vs Fakhreddine: A big miss for MMA fans
The fight that was the most anticipated left fans in dismay after being cancelled. A weight issue with Fakhreddine resulted in the bout being cancelled and Lohoré feeling disrespected. Still, after being awarded the BRAVE CF Super Welterweight Championship as a surprise, Lohoré vows to defend it in an honourable way, or unify it with Luiz Cado’s undisputed belt, probably in late December this year or at the start of January 2026!
