Lebanese mixed martial arts icon Mohammad “The Latest” Fakhreddine stands on the brink of history as he prepares to compete at BRAVE CF 100. The event will take place on November 7 at Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town, Bahrain, where the reigning BRAVE CF middleweight champion faces Alex “Da Killa King” Lohoré for the interim super welterweight crown.

Victory would make Fakhreddine the first athlete in BRAVE Combat Federation history to capture world titles in three divisions, cementing his place as the promotion’s most decorated fighter.

“It’s surreal to be in this position,” Fakhreddine said. “BRAVE CF believed in me from day one, and everything I’ve achieved is because they gave me a platform to show who I am — not just as a fighter, but as someone who never stopped chasing greatness.”

Building a champion’s legacy

The 41-year-old veteran already holds a unique place in BRAVE CF history. During the pandemic era, he became the first competitor to reign over two divisions at once, holding both the middleweight and light heavyweight belts.

In 2019, he nearly added a third when he contended for the Openweight World Championship. Earlier this year, he regained the middleweight strap by knocking out Erko “The Bounty Hunter” Jun in the first round at BRAVE CF 96. That dominant finish reestablished him as the face of Arab MMA and a standard-bearer for fighters across the region.

Before stepping back into the cage, Fakhreddine will also be honored with an induction into the BRAVE CF Hall of Fame. For him, the recognition marks years of sacrifice, perseverance, and unwavering passion for the sport.

Determined to make history at BRAVE CF 100

Fakhreddine knows what is at stake in Bahrain. Another world title would not only solidify his position as the most decorated BRAVE CF fighter ever but also serve as a defining moment in his career.

“I know the magnitude of what I’m trying to do,” he said. “Winning a third BRAVE CF world title isn’t just about adding another belt. It’s about pushing myself to the limit and proving that no dream is too big when you have the courage to pursue it.”

For Fakhreddine, BRAVE 100 is about more than belts or accolades. It represents his lifelong pursuit of greatness and the chance to be remembered as one of the greatest to ever enter the cage.

“I won’t let anyone — Alex Lohoré included — take this away from me,” he vowed. “This is my destiny. I’ve come too far, fought too hard, and believed too deeply to let this moment slip away.”
