In addition to providing real-time content, the WSC Sports platform will ingest the BRAVE CF archive library, indexing and tagging along the way, so that highlights from the past are instantly available. Every punch, kick, hold, or any other action, will be available to the BRAVE CF content team in just a few clicks of a mouse. This new indexed library of historical events will also be used to facilitate VOD capabilities for fight fans around the world.

BRAVE CF is the largest MMA promotion in the Middle East, and their deal with WSC Sports marks the first time a sports organization from Bahrain will use innovative Israeli AI video technology to help grow their global brand, monetize their content, and reach and engage with the fans all around the world.
