BRAVE Combat Federation returns to Pakistan with BRAVE CF 85 on August 18, featuring a highly anticipated Lightweight bout between Pakistani star Rizwan Ali and Indian MMA veteran Srikant Sekhar as the co-main event.

The matchup adds a new chapter to the historic India vs. Pakistan sports rivalry. Both fighters are among the top in their respective countries, promising a showcase of elite talent from both nations.

Rizwan Ali aims to keep his undefeated MMA record intact and extend his seven-fight winning streak. His recent victory in an India vs. Pakistan Karate bout provides added motivation as he looks to impress BRAVE CF matchmakers and defend his country's honor in his home country.

Srikant Sekhar, a veteran of Indian MMA with a career dating back to 2012, seeks to bounce back from a recent loss and regain his winning form. With six of his seven victories coming by finish, Srikant is determined to rejuvenate his career and represent India proudly on Pakistani soil.

The bout is expected to deliver thrilling action, as both fighters have a history of finishing fights quickly, with only three combined bouts going the distance.

BRAVE CF 85 is part of BRAVE International Combat Week and marks the organization’s return to Pakistan after six years. The event will be headlined by a Featherweight title eliminator between Rauan Bekbolat and Omar Solomanov. The full fight card will be announced soon, promising an exciting event for fans in Pakistan and around the globe.
