BRAVE Combat Federation’s 80th event is all set to take over the Kingdom of Bahrain this Friday, December 15, at the Khalifa Sports City Arena, with the last face-offs before fight night setting the pace for an incredible fight night. The intensity was palpable as the 18 fighters involved in the show stared their opponents down one last time before BRAVE CF 80 kicks off.

In the main event of the evening, Jose ‘’Shorty’’ Torres and Nkosi Ndebele, who will face off in a rematch of their first fight, came out with the flags of their countries – Nkosi representing South Africa, while the champion Torres came in with the USA and Bahrain flags.

Their staredown was one of the high points of the evening, with the tension in the air nearly boiling over. Both men kept their statements short, with Nkosi saying that he was ‘’merely getting what was already his’’, while Torres eager to show he was the real and dominant champion of the Bantamweight division.

Another tense moment came in the co-main event, with Jarrah Al-Silawi and Nenad Avramovic locking eyes and refusing to let go until BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid stepped in.

BRAVE CF 80 goes down tomorrow night (6pm – GMT + 3) at the Khalifa Sports City Arena, in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The full fight card can be found below.
