BRAVE CF Cements Place as the Biggest Sports Brand in the Middle East

Founded in 2016 and recently reaching its fourth birthday, BRAVE Combat Federation, the fastest-growing MMA organization in the world, also reached an important milestone for the future of the company. According to reports from the Daily Tribune, BRAVE CF has a market valuation of US$ 500 million.

Since its first event, the organization founded by His Highness Shaikh Khaled bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the fifth son of the King of Bahrain, has hosted shows in 20 countries around the globe, including the Philippines, which was the home of BRAVE CF 22, when Bantamweight champion Stephen Loman, a local hero, defended his title in the main event.

BRAVE CF has also established several partnerships worldwide, quickly expanding globally – after the first two events in Bahrain, the organization went to Brazil for BRAVE CF 3, and continued to expand around the world.

No other organization has been able to achieve the same number of countries visited in their four years of operations which included three trips to Africa, with the first-ever international MMA show for the continent taking place in Morocco and two other events happening in South Africa.

BRAVE CF’s business model also includes several other endeavors, like official gyms licensed products, and national and international TV deals.
