    Brave Combat Federation released the latest posters for Brave 18 hosted during the Brave International Combat Week in Bahrain. The poster features Abdul Kareem Al Selwady alongside Hamza Kooheji, Felipe Efrain and Stephen Loman. Abdul Kareem Al Selwady was withdrawn from Brave 16 where he was scheduled to face Guram Kutateladze in a lightweight bout in the main card. Selwady pulled out of Brave 16 amidst ongoing discussions regarding a potential bout featuring two of the biggest names ever in the Middle Eastern MMA, the undefeated Ottman Azaitar who is the reigning lightweight champion facing Abdul Kareem Al Selwady. Both are undefeated in Brave Combat Federation and had made four appearances each. The announcement of the poster featuring Selwady makes it evident that Brave Combat Federation has major plans featuring “The Pride of Palestine”. Abdul Kareem is currently training in Fortis MMA in Dallas, Texas and had been a crowd favourite in the Middle East. Currently the lightweight division of Brave Combat Federation is the division where the championship is yet to be defended. Packed with major star power from around the world including Lucas Martins, Eldar Eldarov, Luan Santiago, Ahmed Amir, Godofredo Pepey, Erick Da Silva and more the division is clamouring for a title defence. Brave 18 being the highlight of the year for Brave Combat Federation which is the only organisation other than UFC to bring an IMMAF World Championship, a main event featuring Selwady will definitely make the event the focal point of the region. Brave 18 will take place on 16th November at the Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town, Bahrain. Brave International Combat Week 2018 will also feature IMMAF World Championship which will hosted for the second time in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Participation from 103 nations are expected to take place during the largest world championships ever hosted. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnrSxB7l3FX/?hl=en&taken-by=bravemmaf

    Veteran martial arts coach and the father of Abdul Kareem Al Selwady had voiced out his comments on the upcoming Brave 10: The Kingdom Rises to be hosted in Jordan on March 2nd in Amman, Jordan. The event is the largest to have ever hosted in Jordan. The fight night will be hosted in the very same venue that featured world-class fighters including Conor McGregor and more. One among the highlights of the fight card will be the clash between the veteran multi-time champion from the United Kingdom, Charlie Leary and Abdul Kareem representing Jordan. The veteran commented that the bout will be one of the most exciting that the audience in Jordan will be waiting for. Abdul Kareem is one of the youngest prospects from Jordan who competed against global talent and brought global attention towards MMA in Jordan. Meanwhile, Charlie Leary is a veteran training out of Crossface MMA in England, with an experience of 23 fights and excellent boxing skills. Husam Mubarak pointed out the bout can go really entertaining with two world-class strikers engaging in a battle like never before. He also pointed out that the audience can expect surprises. The aim of both athletes will be to finish the fight in the first round but it will be an epic bout if it lasts all three rounds. The event has received a warm response from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as the initiative brings back mixed martial arts after a long duration of absence. The main event will feature the first ever featherweight championship title defence by the reigning champion, Elias Boudegzdame against Jacub Kowalewicz. The fight card is also noteworthy for featuring 18 fight teams competing in a single card in Jordan.
