BRAVE Combat Federation celebrated a landmark moment in global MMA with BRAVE CF 100 lighting up Khalifa Sports City in Bahrain. The historic card honored the promotion’s roots while showcasing elite athletes, championship performances, and breakout moments that highlighted BRAVE CF’s global rise since 2016.

The event originally featured nine fights, but the interim Super Welterweight showdown between Mohammad Fakhreddine and Alex Lohoré was removed during weigh-ins. Despite the adjustment, the eight-fight card delivered explosive finishes and high-stakes action from start to finish.

Nikolić dominates and Mokaev makes history

Borislav Nikolić defended the BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Championship in commanding fashion, overwhelming Bahrain’s Hamza Kooheji before securing a fourth-round TKO. The finish silenced the home crowd and established Nikolić as one of the top bantamweights heading into 2026.

In the co-main event, Muhammad “The Punisher” Mokaev made history by becoming the first-ever BRAVE CF Flyweight World Champion. Mokaev delivered a second-round barrage to stop Gerard Burns, then called for a potential champion-versus-champion showdown with Nikolić in 2026.

Lohoré awarded interim belt, targets unification next

Although withdrawn from competition, Alex Lohoré was formally presented the interim BRAVE CF Super Welterweight Championship. “Da Killa King” immediately pushed for action, stating he is ready to defend the belt or unify with Luiz Cado as early as December or January.

The centennial event featured dominant performances and rapid submissions that fueled the electric atmosphere inside Khalifa Sports City. Fans roared from the opener to the final horn, celebrating BRAVE CF’s global milestone.

BRAVE CF now rolls into BRAVE CF 101: KHK Legacy II, set for Sunday, 9 November back in Bahrain.
