When BRAVE Combat Federation celebrates its milestone BRAVE CF 100 event on Friday, it will not only mark a historic night for the fastest-growing MMA promotion in the world but also spotlight France - a nation deeply woven into BRAVE CF’s identity.
France’s influence in mixed martial arts has long been evident, and BRAVE CF has served as a proving ground for its top-tier athletes. From early pioneers to modern stars, French fighters have consistently shaped the promotion’s legacy.
Among today’s standouts, Alex Lohoré represents the modern standard. A veteran of KSW, Bellator, and Cage Warriors, Lohoré has gone 3–0 in BRAVE CF - all by TKO - and now faces Mohammad Fakhreddine, a BRAVE CF Hall of Famer and Middle East icon.
France’s connection to BRAVE CF runs deep. In 2015, Francis Ngannou competed in KHK MMA’s IMMAF qualifiers before rising to global stardom. Soon after, Elias Boudegzdame became BRAVE CF’s first world champion at BRAVE CF 4, setting the tone for future French success. Champions like Abdoul Abdouraguimov and Amin Ayoub further strengthened France’s presence, while Axel Sola, who began his career with BRAVE CF, now competes in the UFC.
Fighters such as Mohamed Said Maalem and Tahar Hadbi have also played key roles, bringing grit and experience to the BRAVE CF roster.
As BRAVE CF 100 arrives, Lohoré carries the tricolor flag — and the hopes of a nation — into the cage. His journey, uniting France, England, and Côte d’Ivoire, embodies the global spirit that BRAVE Combat Federation was built to celebrate.
