MANAMA: Mahmood Rafique, Editor: One of the Middle East’s finest musicians and Bahrain’s own Flipperachi performs at BRAVE CF 80 in a jampacked Khalifa Sports City Arena on Friday.
BRAVE Combat Federation’s final event of the year and the biggest show in the BRAVE International Combat Week will have a very welcome addition.
Flipperachi has been one of the driving forces of Khaleeji Hip Hop in the last few years and has had an unforgettable 2023, with new releases and having songs featured in some of the greatest shows in the region, which went worldwide throughout the year.
BRAVE CF has also had a historic year in 2023, transforming itself in the industry leader for most countries hosted, having done events in 30 countries, a world record for mixed martial arts. In 2023, BRAVE CF has also reinforced the BRAVE International Combat Week as the biggest combat sports festival in the world by taking it for the first time outside of Bahrain, with editions in Europe (Serbia) and South America (Colombia).
Now, BRAVE CF is set to finish off the year with a huge event, as BRAVE CF 80 takes center stage on December 15. Alongside Flipperachi’s performance, the fans will have an amazing fight card to take in, with Jose Torres, the Bantamweight world champion, defending his title against arch-rival Nkosi Ndebele, and a set of duels between Team Arab Legends, represented by fighters from Bahrain, Jordan, and Lebanon, and Team UK & Ireland.
BRAVE CF 80 will also feature the return of Hussain Ayyad, as part of Team Arab Legends, and it will feature three of Bahrain’s biggest young rising stars in Mohammed Alsameea, Sabrina de Sousa, and Fabiola Nascimento.
