The spotlight is on BRAVE CF 93 as Nepal’s Rabindra Dhant (7-1-0) prepares to take on China’s Eqiyuebu (8-2-0) in a high-stakes bantamweight showdown on April 18 in Zhengzhou, China. With both fighters representing their nations on the global stage, the bout promises fireworks and national pride on full display.

Eqiyuebu, training out of Guoqiang Fighting Club, is known for his aggressive, striking-heavy style and comes into the fight riding a four-fight winning streak. He overwhelms opponents with pressure and pace, aiming to finish fights standing.

Rabindra Dhant, Nepal’s leading MMA talent, brings a calculated, well-rounded game plan. A pioneer for his country, he was the first Nepalese athlete to win in ONE Championship and now trains with SOMA Fight Club and Lock N Roll MMA. Dhant is known for his explosive takedowns, strong grappling, and relentless ground control.

This fight is more than just a clash of styles—it's a battle of dreams. Eqiyuebu aims to rise in the Chinese MMA ranks, while Dhant looks to elevate Nepal's status in global MMA. With contrasting strengths and a lot at stake, this could be a defining moment in their careers.

Will Dhant’s ground game prove too much? Or will Eqiyuebu’s striking dominance continue? All eyes will be on BRAVE CF 93 to find out.
