BRAVE Combat Federation’s debut event in Mauritius has a headliner and it is going to be a historic fight for the organization.
Bantamweight World champion Nkosi 'The Future' Ndebele will be putting his title on the line against his arch-rival Jose ‘Shorty’ Torres in the main event of BRAVE CF 82 in Mauritius on 11th May.
The fight will be the first-ever trilogy in BRAVE Combat Federation history and it will also be the first-ever trilogy in MMA history with each fight taking place in a different continent.
The first fight between the two fighters happened at BRAVE CF 73 in Bogota, Colombia for the vacant Bantamweight world title. Torres emerged victorious in that fight via a split decision after two judges scored in his favor after five action-packed rounds. The narrow defeat made Ndebele call for a rematch and his demand materialized at BRAVE CF 80 in Bahrain.
In the second showdown which also served as the headliner for BRAVE CF 80, Ndebele made sure that the fight did not go to the judges and forced Torres to quit in the third-round. With the win, Nkosi captured the Bantamweight World Title and earned the name of being the first homemade BRAVE CF champion as all his nine professional MMA fights happened in the organization.
The inaugural clash between Ndebele and Torres occurred in Colombia, South America; the second showdown unfolded in Bahrain, Asia. With both fighters holding one win against each other, the rivalry was bound to have a fitting conclusion and it will happen at BRAVE CF 82 in Mauritius, Africa making it an action packed trilogy.
BRAVE CF 82 will mark the debut event of BRAVE Combat Federation in Mauritius and the fourth overall event in Africa for the organization. The milestone card now has a worthy main event and the fans can expect the announcement of more fights from the event in coming days.
