19 September 2020

Indian MMA fighter Ariz Ahmad Khan is all set to compete at BRAVE CF 42. Ariz will be going up against Bahrain’s Ali Yaqoob at the event which will also be the second installment of the Kombat Kingdom Series from the BRAVE Combat Federation in Bahrain.

Ariz, who had previously represented India at the IMMAF World Championships had a good run in the Indian amateur scene where he fought at Underground Fight Nights in Mumbai as well.

Ali, meanwhile, has an impressive amateur career of his own. He comes in with plenty of experience at the IMMAF stage where he has picked up multiple accolades.

The event, which happens on September 24 in Bahrain will be headlined by the Flyweight showdown between Jose ‘Shorty’ Torres and Sean Santella when the fight between Abdul Hussein and Zach Makovsky will be the co-main event win. Both bouts will be part of the BRAVE CF Flyweight tournament along with the fight between Flavio Queiroz and Velimurad Alkhasov.

Also on the card is the returning Hamza Kooheji who tries to get closer to the Bantamweight title of Stephen Loman when he fights Aidan James.

BRAVE CF 42 will be the second event in the Kombat Kingdom series from BRAVE Combat Federation. The first event in the series, BRAVE CF 41 happened last week and saw Mohammad Fakhreddine become the new BRAVE CF Middleweight World Champion.
