BRAVE Combat Federation’s return event to Bahrain, BRAVE CF 91 just got bigger as MMA world Champion and former BRAVE CF superstar Ilia Topuria has been announced as the special guest for the event.

Topuria will attend the event and noted that he is looking forward to meeting his friend and founder of BRAVE CF, His Highness Shaikh Khaled bin Hamad Al Khalifa.

“I will be at the BRAVE CF event this December 13 at the Khalifa Sports City Arena. I also look forward to meeting all the great people of Bahrain and specially to meet my friend Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa and Mohammed Shahid. So, see you all in Bahrain, cannot wait to be there,” Topuria noted.

Prior to moving elsewhere, Topuria fought twice in BRAVE Combat Federation, securing first-round finishes in both occasions, and gaining global recognition.
