The BRAVE Combat Federation continues its global momentum with another electric showdown as Nepal’s Rabindra Dhant (7-1-0) collides with China’s Eqiyuebu (8-2-0) in a high-stakes bantamweight bout at BRAVE CF 93. As part of the federation’s celebrated Year of the BRAVE, this fight promises to be a defining moment in the careers of two rising talents representing vastly different MMA traditions.
Fighting out of Guoqiang Fighting Club, Eqiyuebu enters the contest riding a four-fight winning streak and a reputation as one of China’s most aggressive finishers. Known for his relentless pressure and willingness to engage in brawls, Eqiyuebu thrives on fast-paced exchanges that push his opponents into deep waters. His striking-forward style, combined with elite conditioning, has overwhelmed several of his past foes.
In stark contrast, Rabindra Dhant of Nepal is a calculated and technical tactician, a true student of the game. Trained under the banners of SOMA Fight Club and Lock N Roll MMA, Dhant combines explosive striking with a strong grappling foundation. As the first Nepalese fighter to win in ONE Championship, Dhant has already carved his place in South Asian MMA history. His blend of dynamic takedowns and suffocating top control makes him a constant submission threat.
This fight is more than just a stylistic clash — it’s a meeting of ambition, national pride, and elite martial artistry. While Eqiyuebu will aim to keep the bout on the feet and finish with striking, Dhant will look to implement his grappling game plan, neutralize his opponent’s aggression, and dominate on the mat.
For Dhant, a victory would further solidify his standing as Nepal’s top MMA export and inch him closer to a world title opportunity. Eqiyuebu, meanwhile, eyes this bout as a chance to announce himself on the international stage and move into contender status.
With both fighters bringing contrasting yet explosive styles, BRAVE CF 93 is poised to deliver one of the most memorable bantamweight battles of the year. Will Dhant’s discipline and ground control triumph, or will Eqiyuebu’s chaos and power reign supreme?
