BRAVE Combat Federation (CF), the globally leading mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company, announced returning to the UAE in 2024 for its first-ever event in Dubai.

It also plans to hold a fighting tournament in Abu Dhabi this year.

The dates for the two events, however, have not been announced.

“The doubleheader of Dubai and Bahrain will help BRAVE CF to continue to impact the region by attracting global attention once again to Arab fighters,” the company said in a media statement.

It said BRAVE CF’s global platform will ensure maximum reach for the upcoming superstars of the sport in the Arab world.

The company said it will also continue to use its international reach to empower mixed martial arts in the MENA region.

“From our first show in Bahrain, the organisation has made it a mission to identify the best Arab talents and give them a truly global platform to shine and make their names internationally,” it said.

The company said through the BRAVE CF platform, several Arab fighters became household names for MMA fans worldwide.
