MMA – BRAVE Combat Federation (BRAVE CF), the world’s fastest-growing and most international mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation, proudly announced that Arab MMA icon Mohammad ‘The Latest’ Fakhreddine will be enshrined into the newly established BRAVE CF Hall of Fame.
The historic announcement was made during the broadcast of BRAVE CF: Georgia vs the World, confirming Fakhreddine’s rightful place in history as he joins veteran announcer Carlos ‘The Roaring Lion’ Kremer as the second inductee.
BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid stated: “Mohammad Fakhreddine is more than a champion; he is the face of Arab MMA and one of the greatest fighters to ever represent this region.
“His passion, resilience, and history-making achievements inside the BRAVE CF cage have inspired an entire generation. It is only fitting that he becomes one of the first members of the BRAVE CF Hall of Fame.
“His story is our story, and his legacy will forever be celebrated.”
Fakhreddine, BRAVE CF’s middleweight world champion, added: “To be inducted into the BRAVE CF Hall of Fame is beyond anything I imagined when I started this journey. BRAVE CF gave me a stage to show the world who I am, and every battle, every victory, and every setback shaped me into the fighter I’ve become.
“This recognition is not just for me, but for every fan who believed in me from the beginning. I’m honoured, I’m grateful, and I’m ready to continue making history.”
Fakhreddine has been a cornerstone of BRAVE CF since 2017, thrilling fans in 13 unforgettable bouts. Renowned for his ferocious knockout power, he has authored 16 of his 18 career wins by finish, carving his name among the most feared competitors inside the cage.
His championship pedigree is unmatched. At BRAVE CF 41 in September of 2020, he captured the BRAVE CF middleweight world championship by dethroning Daniel “Gaucho” Pereira in the fourth round. Two years later, at BRAVE CF 57, he etched his name in promotional history by becoming the first athlete to hold two world titles simultaneously, defeating Algerian rival Mohamed Said “L’Ambiance” Maalem via second-round TKO in a rematch to cop the vacant light heavyweight strap.
After briefly testing the waters outside BRAVE CF, Fakhreddine made a triumphant return last year, stopping Algeria’s Abdel Rahmane ‘Silverback’ Driai in under two rounds. He solidified his comeback by reclaiming the middleweight crown at BRAVE CF 96 this past June, dismantling lightweight heavyweight ruler Erko “The Bounty Hunter” Jun in the very first round.
Now, he stands ready to compete at the monumental BRAVE 100 on November 7, where his induction ceremony will also take place in the lead-up to fight night.
The BRAVE CF Hall of Fame will continue unveiling inductees in the coming weeks, building anticipation for the grand festivities surrounding BRAVE 100.
