BRAVE® Combat Federation continues its global momentum in what has been declared the "Year of the BRAVE," as it officially announces its return to China with BRAVE CF 98, set to take place in Zhengzhou in collaboration with YFU / WLF.
This marks the third BRAVE CF event in China, and the second this year alone, following the groundbreaking success of BRAVE CF 84—the first-ever BRAVE CF card held in the country—in August 2024. Since then, the Bahrain-born global promotion has quickly solidified its presence in one of Asia’s fastest-growing MMA markets.
As with the previous two editions, BRAVE CF 98 will feature a continuation of the highly anticipated BRAVE CF vs WLF/YFU series, which has already become a regional highlight. On both past occasions, Team BRAVE CF delivered dominant performances, showcasing world-class talent from its international roster and asserting its competitive superiority on Chinese soil.
The event promises to raise the stakes even higher as BRAVE CF inches closer to its historic BRAVE CF 100 milestone—a centennial celebration of the promotion’s mission to globalize the sport of mixed martial arts and create opportunities for fighters across all continents.
Zhengzhou, known for its deep martial arts heritage, now becomes the next battlefield in this growing international rivalry. With local heroes representing WLF/YFU and a battle-tested lineup from Team BRAVE CF, fans can expect high-stakes matchups, national pride on the line, and the continuation of a compelling narrative that defines BRAVE CF’s bold expansion.
BRAVE CF 98 not only underscores the promotion’s commitment to developing MMA ecosystems worldwide, but also reaffirms its strategic partnerships with regional leaders to elevate the sport to new heights.
Stay tuned as fight announcements, matchups, and additional details unfold in the coming weeks.
