November 02, 2025

BAHRAIN, 2 NOV - BRAVE Combat Federation returns to where it all began for a night that promises to redefine mixed martial arts history. On Friday, 7 November 2025, the Kingdom of Bahrain will once again become the heartbeat of global combat sports as BRAVE CF 100 ignites the Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town.

The event will showcase a triple-header of world title clashes and a supporting six-bout list of elite international talent. Just two days later, the Kombat Kingdom comes alive once again as BRAVE CF 101: KHK Legacy II storms the very same arena on Sunday, 9 November 2025 with a scintillating 10-fight card.

Together, these two events form a powerful one-two combination. This will be a celebration of heritage, resilience, and evolution. The entire fight week has no shortage of thrilling events, engaging activities, and explosive showdowns.

BRAVE CF 100 is a historic occasion that you will not want to miss.

Headlining Fights

Main Event: Borislav Nikolic (c) vs. Hamza Kooheji (BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Championship)

In the main event of BRAVE CF 100, Serbia’s Borislav Nikolić puts his Bantamweight World Championship on the line against Bahrain’s own Hamza Kooheji in a showdown rich with symbolism and stakes. Riding a four-fight winning streak, Nikolić captured the title in dramatic fashion at BRAVE CF 96, submitting former champion Nicholas Hwende with a stunning fourth-round Ninja Choke. Now, in his first title defense, he faces the pride of Bahrain - Kooheji, a BRAVE CF veteran and national hero boasting a 14-3 record. Having last competed at BRAVE CF 91, Kooheji returns to action on home soil, eager to extend his three-fight winning streak and deliver championship gold to the Kingdom.

Co-Main Event: Muhammad Mokaev vs. Gerard Burns (BRAVE CF Flyweight World Championship)

The co-main event of BRAVE CF 100 will see undefeated global sensation Muhammad Mokaev take on Ireland’s Gerard Burns for the inaugural BRAVE CF Flyweight World Championship. A Dagestan-born fighter now representing United Kingdom, Mokaev brings a spotless record and looks to claim his first piece of BRAVE CF gold and usher in a new era for the division. Standing across from him is Burns, a former champion in another promotion, who enters the bout on a six-fight winning streak and aims to seize his first BRAVE CF title in emphatic fashion - proving that Irish grit travels just as well as Mokaev’s global pedigree.

Feature Title Bout: Mohammad Fakhreddine vs. Alex Lohoré (BRAVE CF Interim Super Welterweight World Championship)

In a clash loaded with history and high stakes, Mohammad Fakhreddine faces Alex Lohoré for the Interim BRAVE CF Super Welterweight World Championship, with legacy on the line for both men. Fakhreddine, already the first two-division champion in BRAVE CF history, now seeks to make the impossible possible - becoming the organization’s first-ever three-division world champion. Across the cage stands Lohoré, a dangerous and battle-tested contender determined to claim the throne and etch his name into African MMA history as the continent’s next world champion.
