MIXED MARTIAL ARTS – BAHRAIN’S BRAVE Combat Federation, founded by Supreme Council for Youth and Sport first deputy chairman, General Sports Authority chairman, and Bahrain Olympic Committee president Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, has broken its own record for being the global mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation that has hosted events in most nations.
With the staging of BRAVE CF 82 in Mauritius last weekend, BRAVE CF has hosted events in 31 nations worldwide. After more than seven years of operations, the organisation has successfully impacted the growth of the fastest-developing sport in regions including the Middle East, Africa, Asia, South America, and much more.
Currently, BRAVE CF remains the only global organisation to host an event in the continent of Africa and has hosted shows in three African nations to date, namely Morocco, South Africa, and Mauritius.
BRAVE CF is expanding aggressively in Central Asia, the Balkans, Europe, and Africa, opening new markets and creating global opportunities for regional talent and the sports ecosystem. This year, the organisation will host events in five different nations, including Croatia and the Netherlands, and return to France, Germany, and Slovenia.

Throughout 2024, BRAVE CF will expand its reach to 33 countries, breaking its own world record of 30 nations. BRAVE CF is set to make its debut in Bulgaria with an event in Burgas on August 24. Bulgaria will join Slovenia, the Netherlands, Croatia, France, and Germany as BRAVE CF’s European homes this year.
BRAVE CF has already left its mark on European MMA by hosting events in 13 European nations. With upcoming productions in the Netherlands on May 25, Croatia on September 28, and the newly unveiled event in Bulgaria, BRAVE CF is set to extend its reach to 16 countries across the European continent, a milestone unmatched by any other MMA organisation worldwide.
BRAVE CF will also showcase why it has become the face of Arab MMA. In 2024, the organisation will return to the UAE for an event in Dubai, set for a later date in November. The promotion also returns to its home in Bahrain for a mega December show.
