Ahmad Labban is set to make his long-awaited BRAVE Combat Federation debut and will take on Serbian striker Nemanja Kovac at BRAVE CF 48 co-main event of the evening.
Labban got himself a huge reputation in the Middle Eastern and Eastern European MMA scenes, due to his high-level striking and results, collecting wins and titles in the regional level.
But his story of success traces way back to his kickboxing days.
Labban is an eight-time Lebanese kickboxing champion, completely dominating the competition in his country and establishing a true dynasty in the national scene, which he expanded internationally by winning three world titles.
“The Shadow”, as he’s also known as, was also a Muay Thai champion and Boxing champion in Lebanon, with a combined kickboxing, boxing and Muay Thai record of 35 wins and only five losses.
Labban got a professional MMA record of nine wins and three losses, with seven KOs and multiple regional championships.
Facing a rival stylistically so similar will be a huge chance for Labban to showcase his skills and prove why he was one of the most popular names in the region.
Doing so at the #1 promotion in Asia, and as the co-main event of a Kombat Kingdom event, can fast-track The Shadow to the top of the Super Lightweight division and give him the opportunity to repeat on a global scale what he’s already done in the regional scene.
