Manama, Bahrain: BRAVE Combat Federation™ (BRAVE CF), the world’s fastest-growing and most global mixed martial arts organization, has officially revealed the complete lineup for BRAVE CF 101, taking place at the Khalifa Sports City Arena in Isa Town, Bahrain, on Sunday, November 9.
Marking the return of the iconic KHK Legacy series, BRAVE CF 101 arrives just two days after the historic BRAVE 100, underscoring the promotion’s relentless momentum as it continues to elevate Bahrain’s stature as a true epicenter of global combat sports.
Mohammed Shahid, President of BRAVE Combat Federation, stated:
“Bahrain has always been at the forefront of developing mixed martial arts—not just in the region, but globally. BRAVE CF 101 will once again demonstrate why this nation continues to push the sport forward. We’ll see the very best of Bahrain go up against the very best of the world, showcasing the spirit, skill, and evolution of MMA right here in the Kingdom.”
The premium live event promises an enthralling night of action, showcasing Bahrain’s finest homegrown talents alongside a roster of world-class international athletes, all set to deliver another unforgettable spectacle under the BRAVE CF banner.
Headlining the evening is a high-stakes flyweight showdown featuring Bahrain’s own Muhammad Idrisov, who aims to climb the divisional ladder and solidify his standing among the elite. Across the cage stands Brazil’s Marciano Ferreira, a dynamic and explosive competitor whose fast-paced offense guarantees a captivating main event from the opening bell.
In the co-main event, No. 3-ranked lightweight contender Ramazan Gitinov — a technically brilliant representative of Bahraini MMA — faces off against Turkish newcomer Nursultan Asker, whose debut promises fireworks in a clash of elite-level skill and heart.
The rest of the card highlights BRAVE CF’s commitment to nurturing future stars. Rising talents such as Murad Guseinov, along with former Bahraini amateur standouts Khalifa Janahi, Ali Hasan Marhoon, and Abdulrahman Ali Janahi, are all booked to step inside the cage, eager to make their mark on the global stage.
