BRAVE CF 80 Set for Explosive Rematch between Jose Torres and Nkosi Ndebele

12 December 2023

In the highly anticipated final main event of the year for BRAVE Combat Federation, Jose Torres is gearing up to defend his BRAVE CF bantamweight championship against Nkosi Ndebele. This showdown comes just four months after their intense clash at BRAVE CF 73, where Torres secured a split decision victory, claiming the throne in the weight division.

BRAVE CF 80, scheduled for December 15th in the Kingdom of Bahrain, offers Ndebele the opportunity to seek redemption and, more importantly, to claim the coveted gold for himself. Following their fiercely competitive initial encounter, Ndebele has been vocal about his belief that he should have left Bogota, Colombia, as the rightful bearer of the championship belt.

Expressing his frustration, Ndebele dubbed Torres a "fake champion." In response, Torres addressed the accusations with a level-headed perspective, stating, "I find it disrespectful that he called me a fake champion. But, I understand that people will be mad that they worked so hard and got so close to their goal and couldn't achieve it. The only problem is that it's not my fault. It's not his coach's fault, it's not the judges' fault, it's not anyone's fault besides your own. Don't be mad at me; I did my job. He is lucky that he got a second chance."

The heated rematch promises to deliver fireworks in the Kingdom of Bahrain, raising the question of whether Ndebele can make a significant impact to alter the previous result. Regardless of the outcome, BRAVE CF 80 is gearing up to host a grudge match that fight fans won't want to miss on Friday night.
