Amidst speculations of a super fight for the lightweight championship, Abdul Kareem Al Selwady has arrived in Abu Dhabi.
Al Selwady visited the venue and confirmed his presence during the fight night at Brave 16 on Friday.
The lightweight fighter from Fortis MMA was initially set to compete in the fight night at the Mubadala Arena against Guram Kutateladze in the main card. However, Al Selwady, who is undefeated in Brave Combat Federation in his past four appearances, withdrew from the fight card while discussions of an upcoming championship title fight with Ottman Azaitar was trending in social media in the Middle East.
Mohammad Fakhreddine and Hamza Kooheji who had trained at Fortis MMA and Extreme Studio Performance alongside Abdul Kareem will be featured in the fight card at Brave 16.
Fakhreddine will be facing Gadzhimusa Gaziev in the welterweight division while Hamza Kooheji will be taking on Crisanto Pitpitunge from Team Lakay in a bantamweight fight. Both Hamza and Fakhreddine will be eager to bounce back after their first loss in the promotion.
