BRAVE Combat Federation’s historic Swiss debut will be headlined by a thrilling catchweight clash between hometown hero Kevin Ruart and Lebanese standout Ahmad “The Shadow” Labban. The bout, set at 77kg, takes place at the Arena de Genève on May 17 and promises fireworks from the opening bell.

Both fighters enter BRAVE CF 94 with a point to prove — Ruart seeking redemption on home soil, and Labban aiming to assert his evolution as a complete mixed martial artist. The stakes are sky-high as each man vies for a statement win in front of a passionate European crowd.

Kevin Ruart Returns with Knockout Intentions

With a professional record of 10-8-0, Swiss veteran Kevin Ruart is no stranger to dramatic finishes. Known for his power and grit, Ruart delivered iconic knockouts at BRAVE CF 31 and BRAVE CF 36, defeating Ibrahima Mane and Ion Surdu in emphatic fashion.

Though he’s faced recent setbacks, Ruart remains a danger to anyone who shares the cage with him. Fighting in front of a home crowd could ignite his comeback and reignite Switzerland’s growing MMA movement.

Ahmad Labban Brings Elusive Power and Precision

Standing in Ruart’s way is Ahmad Labban (13-6-0), whose nickname “The Shadow” reflects his unpredictable and elusive fighting style. A decorated striker with a kickboxing background, Labban earned a tactical decision win over Carl Booth at BRAVE CF 65.

Labban’s recent submission loss at BRAVE CF 80 hasn’t derailed his momentum. On the contrary, his improvements on the ground reveal a well-rounded fighter ready to compete at the highest levels of the sport.

Fight of the Night Potential: ‘The People’s Main Event’

With ten combined BRAVE CF appearances and stylistic contrasts that promise action, Ruart vs Labban is already being billed as the card’s most anticipated showdown. Ruart brings brute force and home-field adrenaline, while Labban offers movement, technique, and calculated aggression.

Both men are seeking a rebound win — Ruart to solidify his place in the upper echelon of BRAVE CF’s roster, and Labban to prove his rise from kickboxing into full-fledged MMA contention. Fans can expect a masterclass in striking, timing, and resilience.

A New Chapter for BRAVE CF in Switzerland

BRAVE CF 94 isn’t just a major event — it’s part of the promotion’s global “Year of the BRAVE” campaign, featuring fighters from 14 countries. The Geneva stop marks another milestone in BRAVE CF’s journey toward becoming the world’s most global MMA organization.

As the cage doors close in Geneva, the spotlight will shine on Ruart and Labban, two warriors ready to define their legacies in front of a roaring crowd. One nation’s pride meets another’s hunger, setting the stage for an unforgettable battle.
