Muhammad Mokaev is set to make his return to MMA before the end of the year following his departure from the UFC in July.
After re-signing to BRAVE CF, his debut has been locked in for December 13 in Bahrain where he will face Luthando Biko.
Mokaev made his pro debut in the promotion following the most acclaimed amateur career that anyone had produced at the time.
Having won several fights in BRAVE, among other promotions, he signed to the UFC at 5-0 and produced a seven-fight win streak in the flyweight division.
His run inside the Octagon came to an end following his decision win over Manel Kape at UFC 304 in Manchester where it was announced that he would not be signing to a new deal after fighting out of his contract.
Following a grappling match last month, Mokaev is now set to compete in MMA for the first time post his UFC career and Biko is the man that will welcome him back at BRAVE CF 91.
The 34-year old South African will also be making his BRAVE debut having previously competed in promotions like EFC, ARES FC and UAE Warriors.
Biko has a record of 12-3 having recently held the EFC flyweight title when he defeated Nkazimulo Zulu who previously competed on The Ultimate Fighter and lost to Mokaev's long-standing rival, Jake Hadley.
He is also the former EFC bantamweight champion and is riding a four-fight win streak.
BRAVE CF 91 will take place at the Khalifa Sports City arena as the first event in a double-header that will take place over several days at the same venue.
The card is set to be headlined by BRAVE's bantamweight champion, Nkosi Ndebele who will be defending the belt against Nicholas Hwende after closing out his trilogy with former UFC fighter Jose "Shorty" Torres by beating the previous titleholder in back-to-back encounters.
