The BRAVE CF 100 press conference may have been about the athletes set to compete this Friday, November 7, at Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town, Bahrain - but one particular exchange stole the spotlight and teased a massive potential superfight for the future.
During the media day, flyweight contender Muhammad ‘The Punisher’ Mokaev made his ambitions clear. He plans to capture the BRAVE CF Flyweight World Championship this weekend and, after that, his sights will be set on a second title - the BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Championship currently held by Borislav Nikoli?.
Mokaev, who shied away from the idea of facing his teammate Hamza Kooheji, admitted that, if he’s to chase double-champ status, the man standing in his way would be Nikoli?. The comment sparked a light-hearted, friendly back-and-forth between the two champions-in-waiting, but it was enough to plant the seed for what could become one of BRAVE CF’s biggest matchups yet.
For his part, Nikoli? didn’t back down from the idea. The reigning bantamweight champion stated that his current focus is on taking out Hamza Kooheji first in Bahrain but, once that’s done, he would gladly welcome Mokaev to Belgrade in 2026 for a potential Champion vs. Champion showdown on his home turf.
What began as a playful exchange has now evolved into one of the most exciting “what ifs” in BRAVE Combat Federation’s global story. But before any of that can happen, Mokaev must first face Ireland’s Gerard Burns and conquer the flyweight throne at BRAVE CF 100, while Nikoli? will need to hold firm against Bahrain’s own Kooheji in enemy territory.
Should both men succeed, BRAVE Combat Federation fans could be witnessing the early rumblings of a future superfight - one that might just headline a Serbia card in 2026.
