The staredowns during the weigh-in held yesterday prior to BRAVE CF 41 have elevated fans’ expectations.
BRAVE Combat Federation will be holding its 41th edition today in Bahrain to kick-off the Kombat Kingdom series. The 14 fighters who are involved in the seven bouts booked for the show stepped on the scales and made weight yesterday.
The standout staredown was between Cian Cowley and Ahmed Amir, who are fighting at Super Lightweight. Both men exchanged words during their staredown, after making weight. ‘The Warrior’ Cowley stepped at the scales at 74,8 kg while ‘The Butcher’ weighed in at 75,1 kg.
In the main event, champ Daniel Gaucho and challenger Mohammad Fakhreddine made their title fight official by stepping in the scale under the 83,9 kg limit, with Gaucho weighing in at 83,6 and Fakhreddine at 83,8 kg. In the staredown, ‘The Latest’, draped in the colours of Lebanon, screamed ‘And New’ in front of the champion, who didn’t move an inch and kept his composure.
