MMA – BRAVE Combat Federation, the world’s fastest-growing and most global mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation, returns to its birthplace on November 7 to stage a marquee night of fights at Khalifa Sports City Arena in Isa Town.
BRAVE 100 is expected to be an all-out homecoming event with full-throttle production and international firepower.
Since its inception in 2016 under the vision of Supreme Council for Youth and Sports first deputy chairman, General Sports Authority chairman, and Bahrain Olympic Committee president Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, BRAVE CF has redefined the sport of MMA, breaking barriers with cross-promotional collaborations and building a global scouting network that has launched the careers of athletes now competing at the highest levels.
In less than a decade, BRAVE CF has staged 97 events in 36 countries across five continents, showcasing more than 900 fighters from 90 nations – a scale of international expansion unmatched by any other organization in MMA.
“When the world looks at today’s MMA stars, many of them were first discovered here,” said BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid.
“BRAVE CF gave them their first global stage, and that is our legacy in building the sport. To bring our 100th event back to Bahrain is symbolic of everything BRAVE CF stands for – vision, unity, and the belief that athletes deserve a platform that represents nations, not just promotions.
“BRAVE 100 is not only a milestone for us – it’s a milestone for MMA.”
The month-long celebration surrounding BRAVE 100 will honour the athletes, pioneers, and visionaries who shaped the organisation’s remarkable journey.
Fans will be treated to exclusive showcases, history-making tributes, and legacy-defining moments that celebrate BRAVE CF’s global impact – all leading to a mega-event showcasing the biggest names in the sport.
Marking another major step in its global journey, BRAVE CF is expanding its reach into North America through its new broadcast partnership with beIN SPORTS.
For the first time ever, fans in the US and Canada will be able to watch BRAVE 100 live – a breakthrough that signals the promotion’s next leap in worldwide expansion.
With its 10th anniversary approaching in 2026, BRAVE 100 will stand as both a celebration of the past decade and a launchpad for the next era of MMA storytelling – from Bahrain to the whole world.
Tickets will be available soon.
