  • The fight night will take place on December 2nd.

    The stacked fight card features some epic bouts with global MMA stars, as well as some of the finest middle-eastern fighters testing their skills on the big stage in Bahrain.

    Brave president Mohammed Shahid had promised to bring the world to Bahrain, before taking Bahrain to the world and he’s done exactly that by creating such a multicultural fight card.

    The show, to be held at Khalifa Sports City will be headlined by the first ever world title fight between two world class, international MMA fighters, Mexico’s Masio Fullen and Iraq’s Alan Omer.

    These men will battle for the featherweight title on this night and will be anchored by a thrilling undercard featuring some undefeated stars from around the world, such as Brazil’s Alex Da Silva Coelho and the Turkish/German Ottman Azaitar.

    In their first ever light heavyweight bout Brave has also welcomed Ireland’s Ben Forsyth and America’s Tyree Fortune. Both these fighters are young and have major credentials in the sport, with Forsyth an IMMAF World Championship gold medalist and Tyree Fortune one of the highest ranked wrestlers in the United States of America. Also from the States is the world renowned Walel Watson and the “Ginger looking to Injure”, Daniel Swain.

    If that wasn’t enough, perhaps the most highly anticipated fight of all features England’s Carl Booth and Dagestan’s Gadzhimusa Gaziev. These men are rising stars in MMA and known for their punching power. Both heavy-hitting welterweights will be looking for a big knock-out at Brave 2: Dynasty on December 2nd.

    Elsewhere on the epic card, Egypt’s Ahmed Fares looks to make a big impression in his Brave debut, and the smiling French-Algerian Elias Boudegzdame looks to build upon his promising record, where he has already amassed 12 professional wins. Representing Sweden is Erik Carlsson and the Filipino fans will have plenty to cheer about with Jeremy Pacatiw and Troy Bantiag both fighting on the card.

    Brave 2: Dynasty will also feature the Indian/Canadian star from Tristar gym, Gurdarshan Mangat, Jordanian hopeful Jarrah A Silawi, and another exciting Mexican fighter, Cristian Quinonez.

    Representing Bahrain, and fighting in front of his family and friends will be Hamza Kooheji, who won big at Brave 1 and will be looking to build upon his promising start.

    Tickets for Brave 2 are on sale now via www.bravefights.com​, Virgin Megastore​ and at SADAD outlets throughout Bahrain.
