BRAVE Combat Federation and HEXAGONE MMA have announced the first fighters confirmed for the first-ever BRAVE CF show taking place in French soil. On September 7, the two organizations will host a co-promoted event at the H Arena, in Nantes, that will put BRAVE CF at the top of the most global MMA promotions in the world – with France, the company will have travelled to 29 countries, an absolute record in the industry.
The historic show will feature some of the top fighters from both promotion’s rosters as Nantes fans are in for a treat. From HEXAGONE MMA’s side, undefeated star Mehdi Ben Lakhdar leads the way, joined by Nora Cornolle and Stephanie Ielo Page, as the first names confirmed for September 7.
BRAVE Combat Federation, as usual, will bring the top fighters from its roster to its first show in France, with Light Heavyweight superstar Erko Jun confirmed to take part. ‘’The Bounty Hunter’’ is coming off a huge first-round TKO win in his BRAVE CF debut in Slovenia, and eager to take another big step towards a world title shot at 205 pounds.
He is joined by his personal friend and Super Lightweight and Super Welterweight contender Joilton Lutterbach, who is coming off a huge win at 175 pounds at BRAVE CF 70, and is now a two-division contender, following previous victories at 165 pounds (Super Lightweight).
Also confirmed for action on September 7 are Frenchmen Axel Sola, Ylies Djiroun, and Yanis Ghemmouri, with the last two confirmed to fight at BRAVE CF 72, on June 26, before making their homecomings in Nantes.
Finally, former two-time 175-pound world title contender Ismail Naurdiev closes out the first batch of BRAVE CF superstars confirmed, as he looks to bounce back from a two-fight skid and regain momentum towards another world title shot.
Mohammed Shahid, president of BRAVE CF, celebrates the fact that this event will be a record-breaking moment for the organization, as France will become the 29th nation to host a BRAVE CF show in five continents, transforming the company in the most global MMA promotion in the world:
‘’BRAVE Combat Federation has traveled around the world hosting some of the most memorable nights in MMA history and we are delighted to bring the entertainment, excitement and world-class action to H Arena on September 7. It will be an unforgettable introduction of Brave CF to France and a night full of records being broken and history being made.’’
JérômePourrut, co-founder of HEXAGONE MMA, is eager to showcase a world-class fight card to the French audience in the first venture into Nantes for both promotions.
"By combining the best of HEXAGONE MMA and BRAVE CF, we are going to offer a card of a level rarely achieved in France", anticipates Mr. Pourrut. “For an event of this magnitude, the H Arena is the perfect venue. This room frequently hosts big events, since it hosts the HBC Nantes handball club, but there has never been any MMA. We are very eager to change that’’.
