After an immensely successful fight card in Pakistan last month, Brave Combat Federation is back once again with an exciting Mixed Martial Arts card.
The eighteenth event being hosted by the fight promotion will take place in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The card was released during the Brave International Combat Week 2018. Taking place on the 16th November at the Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town, Bahrain, the card will feature three major championship bouts right alongside WFCA 54.
The main card features the three championship bout, while the undercard has seven different fights on it, which are no less of an attraction.
The main card features some of the best fighters in the world not contracted to promotions. In the three fights on the main card, the Featherweight, Bantamweight, and Lightweight Championships will all be defended.
The main event is between Lucas Mineiro from Brazil who will be defending his Lightweight Championship against Abdul Kareem Al Selwady from Palestine, where the winner will become the Undisputed Lightweight Champion. The other two Championship fights on the main card are Stephen Loman from the Philippines who is set to defend his Bantamweight Championship against Felipe Efrain from Brazil, and the inaugural Flyweight Title will be put up for grabs in a fight between Marcel Adur, who is from Brazil, and his opponent, Velimurad Alkhasov from Russia.
In this article, we will be taking an in-depth look at each of the title fights and predicting an outcome for each one while outlining our reasons for selecting that fight. We will also be predicting each of the fights on the undercard.
The Undercard for Brave CF will feature the following fights:
Benjamin Bennet vs. Khamszay Chimaev: Prediction - Benjamin Bennett
Cian Cowley vs. Hardeep Rai: Prediction - Hardeep Rai
Hussain Maki vs. A. Abo Ali: Prediction - A. Abo Ali
Luan Santiago vs. Djamil Chan: Prediction - Luan Santiago
#3 Stephan Loman vs. Felipe Efrain
In the first fight of the main card, Stephen Loman will take part in his fourth fight in Brave, where he will defend the Bantamweight Title against Felipe Efrain, who is also on his fourth Brave CF fight.
The Brave 18 event will see Loman come in on the back of a five-fight win streak making him the natural favourite. Efrain won his last fight, and will be looking to better his record here as well as gain a title.
Prediction: Stephan Loman
#2 Marcel Adur vs. Velimurad Alkhasov
Velimurad Alkhasov comes into this fight on the back of a 5-0 unbeaten record, to take on the veteran Marcel Adur, who is on a three-fight win streak.
Both fighters will be competing for the inaugural Brave CF Flyweight Title, which comes at a time when UFC may be shutting their division down.
Both fighters will be fighting tooth and nail to have the honour of being the first champion.
Prediction: Velimurad Alkhasov
#1 Lucas Martins vs. A. Al-Selwady
In the main event of the night, the Lightweight Championship is up for grabs in what is possibly the most exciting fight of the night.
Al-Selwady comes into this fight having lost only once in his career. Currently, he has pushed that loss away and is on a five-fight win streak which has helped him to regain his footing.
Martins has a five-fight win streak as well, and while he is the more experienced of the two fighters, this fight is an almost equal matchup between the two to become the undisputed Lightweight Champion.
Prediction: A. Al Selwady
