When it comes to BRAVE Combat Federation’s pantheon of veterans, few names resonate as loudly as Mohammad “The Latest” Fakhreddine. BRAVE Combat Federation is set to make its highly anticipated return to Ljubljana, Slovenia, on June 7, 2025, with BRAVE CF 96 headlined by a Middleweight World Championship clash between Light Heavyweight champion Erko Jun and former two-division king Mohammad Fakhreddine. The Lebanese legend, the only ever two-division World Champion in BRAVE CF history, has built a career on gritty finishes, strategic mastery, and an uncanny ability to thrive under pressure. At 40 years old and boasting a 17-5-0 (2NC) record, Fakhreddine stands on the precipice of history again: a chance to become the first three-time BRAVE CF world champion and cement his legacy as MMA’s ultimate comeback artist.
From his early days tearing through regional circuits in Lebanon to capturing lightweight gold with a head-kick knockout and later conquering welterweight via slick guillotine choke, Fakhreddine has never shied away from the big moment. His veteran savvy is unmatched, reading opponents’ tells, shifts seamlessly between boxing-range barrages and submission traps, and closes out rounds with a calm ferocity that belies his storied career.
As he prepares to challenge Erko Jun to reclaim the vacant Middleweight crown in Ljubljana on June 7, Fakhreddine isn’t just stepping into the cage, he’s stepping into folklore. This is a fighter who has battled knee injuries, weight?cut dramas, and the relentless march of time, only to emerge stronger each comeback. Fans can expect “The Latest” to unveil a masterclass in veteran poise: pinpoint counterstrikes, unexpected takedown defenses, and that signature finishing instinct that turns every exchange into must-watch television.
In a division teeming with hungry young contenders, Fakhreddine remains the measuring stick: adaptable, relentless, and forever evolving. His quest for a third title reign isn’t merely about the championship gold, it’s about proving that true champions aren’t born once, they’re reforged every time adversity strikes. Get ready for “The Comeback King” to roar again, as Mohammad Fakhreddine shows the world why experience still reigns supreme in MMA. BRAVE CF 96 in Ljubljana is poised to raise the bar yet again, showcasing two warriors and with the world championship at stake, and the electric atmosphere that has made Slovenia one of BRAVE’s biggest success stories. Fans can expect explosive action, national pride on the line, and a night that further solidifies BRAVE CF’s legacy as the world’s most global MMA organization.
For Arteaga, victory means a career-reviving statement in Europe, proving that he belongs among the lightweight elite. For Dadaev, a win keeps his perfect record intact and moves him one step closer to his dream of world championship glory. This isn’t just another undercard fight—it’s a collision of raw aggression versus calculated precision, where a single mistake could end the night in spectacular fashion. Fans should brace for non-stop action, as two of MMA’s most exciting young talents leave nothing in reserve inside the BRAVE CF cage.
BRAVE CF 94 is a milestone in BRAVE Combat Federation’s global expansion strategy. By making its Swiss debut, BRAVE CF will become the first-ever global MMA promotion to host an event in 36 different nations, further strengthening its legacy as the world’s most far-reaching MMA organization.
Switzerland now joins the likes of Northern Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, and Slovenia as part of BRAVE CF’s European footprint. This marks a significant achievement in the organization’s quest to make MMA a truly global sport, with Europe playing a pivotal role due to its deep talent pool, passionate fanbase, and rich combat sports culture.
This event is a crucial part of BRAVE CF’s "Year of the BRAVE" campaign, a global initiative aimed at showcasing top-tier MMA talent across multiple continents. With Geneva as the backdrop, BRAVE CF 94 will bring together Swiss talent and international superstars, ensuring a blend of local representation and world-class competition.
