Over the past seven and a half years, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has experienced remarkable growth, propelled by the guidance of BRAVE Combat Federation. As the leading sports media property in the Middle East, BRAVE CF is now gearing up to elevate MMA in MENA to new heights in 2024.

Marking a significant milestone, BRAVE CF plans to conclude the year with a thrilling doubleheader in Dubai and Bahrain. November will witness the organization's debut event in Dubai, followed by a return to its roots in the Kingdom of Bahrain in December, emphasizing BRAVE CF's unwavering dedication to showcasing the region on a global stage.

Having already hosted 32 events in the MENA region, BRAVE CF's approach extends beyond mere numbers. The federation has adopted a comprehensive strategy aimed at fostering the growth of MMA in the region. This strategy encompasses both nurturing local talent and providing a platform for MENA fighters to compete globally while simultaneously attracting international attention to the region.

This dual-focused strategy has yielded significant results, catapulting MENA MMA stars onto the global stage. Renowned fighters such as Jarrah Al-Silawi, Mohammad Fakhreddine, Hamza Kooheji, and Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady have gained widespread recognition through their participation in BRAVE CF events.

Conversely, BRAVE CF's events in the MENA region have also welcomed a host of international MMA luminaries. Fighters including Stephen Loman, Nkosi Ndebele, Brad Katona, and Amin Ayoub have showcased their talents in the Middle East, experiencing career-defining moments on BRAVE CF's platform.
