BRAVE 27 Full Fight Card, Start Time & How To Watch
After a two-event tour of South America, Brave CF returns to the Middle East this week with BRAVE 27 set to go down on October 4, 2019, inside Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Arena. The event is set to start at 11:00 am ET.
The ten bout card will be headlined by the anticipated rematch between Brave Welterweight World Champion Abdoul Abdouraguimov and the man he captured the title from, Jarrah Al-Selawe.
The pair clashed at BRAVE 23 with Dagestan’s Abdouraguimov emerging the victor via a contentious split decision result. Jordan’s Al-Selawe felt that he had done enough to retain the title and this weekend’s clash should prove to be an absorbing affair.
Abdouraguimov, an expert grappler, came close to submitting Al-Selawe in the opening round of their previous contest while Al-Selawe got the better of the striking exchanges. It will be interesting to see how both men will approach their second encounter. Extra spice was added to the contest today after a heated face off boiled over into an onstage confrontation.
The co-main event between Morocco’s Anas Siraj Mounir and Canada’s Alex Martinez is also a rematch after the pair’s lightweight bout at BRAVE 23 was ruled a no-contest. In the opening round, Martinez inadvertently kicked Mounir in the groin, and the fight was called off after Mounir was unable to continue.
The bout should be a lively contest as both fighters will be looking to maintain their undefeated records as well hoping to build towards a run at the lightweight title.
One bout that fans should keep an eye on is the middleweight clash between Sweden’s Khamzat Chimaev and South Africa’s Mzwandile Hlongwa. Both fighters are undefeated with neither man having ever gone the distance as a professional. Their fight is shaping up to be short, fiery, and highly memorable.
