Brave Combat Federation has announced the full lineup for its upcoming milestone event.
Brave 100 is scheduled to take place on Friday, November 7, at Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town, Bahrain, and will feature three world title fights on the main card.
Bantamweight Gold On The Line
In the main event, Serbian bantamweight Borislav Nikolic (13-2) will look to make the first defense of his 135-pound title against hometown favorite Hamza Kooheji (14-3). Nikolic captured the bantamweight belt in June at Brave CF 96, submitting Nicholas Hwende to extend his winning streak to four—all by stoppage.
Kooheji, a Brave veteran since 2016, has won eight of his last nine fights.
Mokaev Set To Return
In the co-main event, former UFC standout Muhammad Mokaev (14-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) makes his return to the Brave cage as he faces Gerard Burns (7-1) for the organization’s inaugural flyweight title.
Mokaev began his professional career with Brave in 2016 and rejoined the promotion in December of last year after parting ways with the UFC. Since then, “The Punisher” has been on a tear—submitting Joevincent So in the first round at Brave CF 91, stopping Bolat Zamanbekov at Karate Combat 54, and most recently earning a unanimous decision win over Thomas Assis at 971 FC 2 in June.
Burns, a teammate of PFL star Paul Hughes at Fight Academy Ireland in Belfast, earned his title opportunity after going 4-0 since signing with the Bahrain-based promotion in late 2023.
Veterans Collide
Also on the card, Lebanese veteran Mohammad Fakhreddine (18-5) will attempt to make promotional history by becoming the first Brave fighter to capture gold in three different weight classes. He faces Alex Lohoré (26-11) for the Interim Super Welterweight World Title.
Fakhreddine, who debuted at Brave CF 4 in 2017, was last in action in June when he knocked out Erko Jun to claim the middleweight championship.
He faces a tough test in Lohore. “Da Killa King” is one of the most experienced campainers in the fight game having fought in BAMMA, Cage Warriors, Bellator, OKTAGON and KSW throughout his storied career.
