Arab MMA icon Mohammad “The Latest” Fakhreddine is set to receive one of the sport’s highest honors. BRAVE Combat Federation (BRAVE CF), the world’s fastest-growing and most global mixed martial arts organization, proudly announced that Fakhreddine will be enshrined into the newly established BRAVE CF Hall of Fame.

The historic announcement was made during the broadcast of BRAVE CF: GEORGIA VS. THE WORLD on Friday, October 3, confirming Fakhreddine’s rightful place in history as he joins veteran announcer Carlos “The Roaring Lion” Kremer as the second inductee.

A legacy built through passion and dominance

Mohammed Shahid, President of BRAVE Combat Federation, hailed Fakhreddine’s contributions to the sport.

“Mohammad Fakhreddine is more than a champion; he is the face of Arab MMA and one of the greatest fighters to ever represent this region. His passion, resilience, and history-making achievements inside the BRAVE CF cage have inspired an entire generation. It is only fitting that he becomes one of the first members of the BRAVE CF Hall of Fame. His story is our story, and his legacy will forever be celebrated,” Shahid said.

Fakhreddine, the reigning BRAVE CF Middleweight World Champion, shared his gratitude.

“To be inducted into the BRAVE CF Hall of Fame is beyond anything I imagined when I started this journey. BRAVE CF gave me a stage to show the world who I am, and every battle, every victory, and every setback shaped me into the fighter I’ve become. This recognition is not just for me, but for every fan who believed in me from the beginning. I’m honored, I’m grateful, and I’m ready to continue making history,” Fakhreddine said.

Since his BRAVE CF debut in 2017, Fakhreddine has thrilled fans in 13 unforgettable bouts, winning 16 of his 18 career victories by finish. His championship resume is unmatched. At BRAVE CF 41 in September 2020, he captured the Middleweight World Championship by dethroning Daniel “Gaucho” Pereira. Two years later, at BRAVE CF 57, he became the first athlete to hold two BRAVE CF titles simultaneously, defeating Mohamed Said “L’Ambiance” Maalem via second-round TKO to claim the vacant light heavyweight strap.

Induction set for BRAVE 100 festivities

After a brief stint outside the promotion, Fakhreddine made a successful comeback in 2024, stopping Abdel Rahmane “Silverback” Driai and reclaiming the middleweight crown at BRAVE CF 96 by dismantling Erko “The Bounty Hunter” Jun in the first round.

His Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place during the lead-up to BRAVE 100 on November 7, a monumental event for the promotion. BRAVE CF will continue unveiling inductees in the coming weeks, building anticipation for one of the most important celebrations in mixed martial arts history.
