Flyweight contender Hussain “Iron” Ayyad is another Bahraini confirmed to take part in the historical BRAVE CF 29 fight card, which will take place at the Khalifa Sports City Arena, in Isa Town, on November 15th. He will take on Matis Zarahovs, from Latvia, as he looks for his fourth straight win under the BRAVE Combat Federation banner.
Ayyad joins Hamza Kooheji as two of the top Bahraini fighters confirmed to take part at BRAVE CF 29, as it was announced earlier this week that “The Pride of Bahrain” would take on Nahuel Gandolfi, from Argentina.
Hussain has made history before, as the first Bahraini to win a medal at the IMMAF World Championships, and has continued his development into the professional leagues, as he is one of BRAVE CF’s top Flyweights. He holds wins over Jomar Pa-ac, Mohammed Abo Ali, Jason Vergara, and is coming off a domination of Mitchell Johnson at the groundbreaking BRAVE CF 24 card, in London, England.
Zaharovs, who hails from Latvia, fights out of Ireland, and is undefeated in his professional career, with two victories in as many bouts. His last fight was this month, as he made a splash in the European scene, and will now have the opportunity to compete at the global stage.
BRAVE CF 29 will be a landmark event for the sport of mixed martial arts. Taking place during the BRAVE International Combat Week, the show will also be the host of the KHK World Championship, an open weight, one-night, four-men tournament. It will grant the winner with the right to be called the KHK World Championship belt provisional holder, the heaviest prize in sports, adorned with 6.2 kg of gold.
