UFC fighter Mokaevs coach Dean Garnett takes on Izzeddine Al-Derbani on BRAVE CF 80 on December 15th
Dec 11, 2023
At BRAVE CF 80 next weekend, Muhammad Mokaev’s coach Dean Garnett will lock horns with Izzeddine Al-Derbani as he attempts to continue the incredible legacy made by his student in the promotion.
Over the course of the last few years, plenty of fighters have made a name for themselves in BRAVE Combat Federation. However, there’s an argument to be made that there’s never been a more exciting prospect to come through the ranks in BRAVE CF than Muhammad Mokaev.
The 23-year-old went unbeaten during his tenure and now, he’s seen as one of the top flyweights in the world with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As it turns out, though, he isn’t the only member of his gym who can compete at this level.
Dean Garnett, one of Mokaev’s coaches, holds an 11-2-1 pro record. At the age of 35, he’s hoping that he can string together a really solid run of form as we prepare for the highly anticipated Arab Legends vs UK & Ireland showdown at BRAVE CF 80.
With the world watching, these two teams will lock horns in a five-fight series that promises to be electric. Garrett will feature in one of the first bouts of the competition as he goes up against Izzeddine Al-Derbani.
Garrett has already gone 2-0 with Hexagone MMA this year after a long spell away from mixed martial arts, whereas Al-Derbani is fresh off of a submission win over Eduardo Mora in April.
Alas, while Al-Derbani is an amazing talent, you can’t count out someone who trains with the likes of Mokaev every single day.
Buckle up, because this has Fight of the Night potential all over it.
