BRAVE Combat Federation concluded 2024 with a historic show at the Khalifa Sports City Arena in Bahrain on December 15. While the action inside the cage thrilled fans worldwide, it was complemented by the electric atmosphere created by the passionate fans in attendance.

BRAVE CF 92 was headlined by the return of former two-division BRAVE CF champion Mohammed Fakhreddine, who faced Abdel Rahmane Driai in the main event.

The card also featured the India vs. Pakistan rivalry with five bouts including the co-main event and the fight night saw fans filling the Khalifa Sports City Arena to support their favourite fighters. Members of the Indian and Pakistani communities in Bahrain turned out in large numbers to cheer for their respective nations, adding to the excitement of the rivalry.

In the main event, Mohammed Fakhreddine enjoyed strong support from the local crowd as he secured a second-round stoppage victory. Following the fight, Fakhreddine made his intentions clear, stating his desire to compete for the BRAVE CF World Title once again.

The moment was met with applause from the crowd inside the arena, showcasing how the fans enjoyed both sides of the sport at BRAVE CF 92.
