BRAVE Combat Federation reached an iconic milestone on Friday, November 7, as the Kingdom of Bahrain hosted the historic BRAVE CF 100 inside Khalifa Sports City, Isa Town.
The landmark event delivered highlight-reel finishes, dramatic comebacks, and defining victories. With the celebrations now calming down, the big question remains — what’s next for the standout performers of this unforgettable night?
Borislav Nikolić
The main event saw Serbian standout Borislav Nikolić defend his BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Championship with grit and precision.
Competing against a roaring pro-Bahrain crowd, Nikolić halted local hero Hamza Kooheji with just seven seconds left in the fourth round, proving once again why he sits unchallenged atop the bantamweight throne.
But the triumph barely settled before a new threat emerged.
Moments after the stoppage, newly crowned Flyweight World Champion Muhammad “The Punisher” Mokaev stepped forward, challenging him face-to-face in the center of the cage.
The tense exchange hinted at one of 2026’s most anticipated showdowns — a Champion vs. Champion super-fight that could reshape the BRAVE CF hierarchy.
Muhammad Mokaev
Earlier that evening, Muhammad Mokaev delivered a masterclass to capture the inaugural BRAVE CF Flyweight World Title, finishing Gerard “The Animal” Burns with a brutal combination featuring a clean head kick and precise left hand.
The victory solidified his position among the world’s elite flyweights — but Mokaev is not stopping there.
His immediate call-out of Nikolić signals a clear ambition: becoming a two-division World Champion.
A clash with the Serbian kingpin would be one of the biggest fights in BRAVE CF’s future calendar.
Alex Lohoré
Alex “Da Killa King” Lohoré entered BRAVE 100 expecting to battle Middleweight legend Mohammad Fakhreddine for the Interim Super Welterweight belt.
After Fakhreddine’s failed weight cut forced a cancellation, Lohoré was rightfully elevated to Interim Super Welterweight World Champion based on his professionalism and readiness.
His target is now unmistakable — a title unification fight against reigning champion Luiz “Golden Boy” Cado.
A win would crown Lohoré as the undisputed ruler of BRAVE CF’s unique 175-pound division.
Mohamed Alsameea
Local favorite Mohamed Alsameea ignited the arena with a lightning-fast 45-second finish over Mahmoud Amr, overwhelming his opponent with relentless punches and hammerfists.
Now 5-1, the Bahraini prospect is ready for a significant step up.
Possible opponents include:
-
Bidzina Gavashelishvili – a pressure-heavy Georgian known for durability
-
Dias “Son of the Steppes” Yerengaipov – one of Kazakhstan’s most explosive flyweights
Either matchup would reveal how high Alsameea can climb within the division.
Mim Grubb
England’s Mim Grubb demonstrated poise and maturity in her third-round submission win over Fabiola Nascimento, rebounding from early difficulties to secure a smooth rear-naked choke.
Her rise reflects BRAVE CF’s expanding commitment to elevating women’s MMA.
A compelling next fight would be against India’s surging talent Aarti Khatri, who also earned a submission victory at BRAVE 100.
A Grubb-Khatri bout could serve as a breakthrough moment for the women’s roster and further solidify the division’s growing importance within BRAVE CF.
