BRAVE Combat Federation has officially announced its return to China with BRAVE CF 98, scheduled to take place in Zhengzhou in partnership with YFU/WLF. The event marks the promotion’s third appearance in China and its second this year, continuing a rapid expansion in one of Asia’s fastest-growing MMA markets.
The announcement follows the success of BRAVE CF 84, which took place in August 2024 and marked the federation’s inaugural event in China. Since then, the Bahrain-based organization has steadily built momentum, with BRAVE CF 98 further cementing its presence in the region.
BRAVE CF 98 will feature another installment of the BRAVE CF vs. WLF/YFU series, a growing rivalry that has seen Team BRAVE CF dominate in both previous editions. The series showcases top-tier international talent against local Chinese fighters, blending global competition with national pride.
The return to Zhengzhou, a city known for its deep martial arts heritage, underscores the federation’s strategic move as it nears the BRAVE CF 100 milestone. The centennial event will mark a significant chapter in BRAVE CF’s mission to globalize mixed martial arts and provide international opportunities for fighters across continents.
With its emphasis on cross-promotional battles and international storytelling, BRAVE CF 98 promises high-stakes matchups and a continuation of the brand’s bold expansion into China’s dynamic combat sports scene.
Additional fight announcements and matchup details are expected in the coming weeks
