BRAVE Combat Federation is looking to sign off with a bang with Brave 21, the last event of the year to be held on December 28 at the King Abdullah Sports City Indoor Hall, in Jeddah.
Last night, the Bahrain based promotion released the fight card which includes top names like Jeremy Kennedy, who takes on Marat Magomedov for the featherweight title in the main event.
The event will also witness the return of Mehdi Baghdad, who clashes with Ikram Aliskerov.
The biggest fight on the card looks like a featherweight title eliminator, the co-main event, featuring two of the most explosives athletes on Brave’s roster - Gadzhimusa “Deadshot” Gaziev, who looks to maintain his undefeated streak, and the dangerous Rami Hamed.
The fight night will also feature a trio of Russia vs Brazil matches. The South Americans are represented by Geraldo Coelho, Gabriel Miranda, and Bruno Assis, who take on Ikram Aliskerov, Akhmed Magomedov and Rustam Chsiev respectively.
Meanwhile, the famous Lebanese fighter Mohamad Ghorabi will be making his debut, fighting against “The Sultan” Mehdi Baghdad in a super lightweight.
