BRAVE CF 82: Nkosi Ndebele vows to stop Jose Torres once again

03 May 2024

BRAVE Combat Federation's upcoming event, BRAVE CF 82 in Mauritius on May 11, is set to make history with the highly anticipated main event featuring Nkosi Ndebele and Jose Torres in the first-ever trilogy in BRAVE CF history, which also marks the first trilogy in MMA with each fight taking place in a different continent.

The journey began in Colombia where Jose Torres emerged victorious via a split decision, claiming the Bantamweight world title. However, Nkosi Ndebele swiftly turned the tables in their rematch at BRAVE CF 80 in Bahrain, forcing Torres to quit in the third round and levelling the scores.

Now, with the stage set for their third encounter at BRAVE CF 82, the historic significance of this trilogy cannot be overstated.

Fresh off his decisive victory at BRAVE CF 80, Nkosi Ndebele exudes confidence and is poised to make a statement by once again compelling Torres to quit. In his own words, Nkosi vows to break Torres this time around.

"Shorty will never beat me. He can bring whatever he has, but I'll have all the answers. Trust me, those answers will be doubled or tripled, even worse. I'm expecting him to quit again, but this time it will be something that will break him," Nkosi asserted.
