Ahmed Faress hopes Brave CF hosts event in Egypt

Ahmed Faress will compete in his third bout at Brave Combat Federation during Brave 19 which will be held on 8th December at the Sun City Resort, Johannesburg in South Africa. Faress is the first Egyptians to sign in the growing bantamweight division of Brave Combat Federation. Currently has a record of 10-2-0 in his professional career, he is set to face Nkosi Ndebele, who will make his professional debut at Brave 19.

Ndebele has an amateur record of 12-4-0 and trains at the Nova MMA Academy in South Africa. In his previous fight, Faress faced Bharat Khandare, the first Indian ever to compete in the UFC. Faress dominated the bout forcing the hometown hero to tap in front of his fans at Brave 5: Go for Glory. Training alongside Hassan Abo Ali and Ahmed Amir, Faress is among the fighters from Egypt to break into the global scene. Faress will be making his return after a break of more than a year. The prospect from Egypt believes that Brave 19 will be a major break in his career.

“Brave Combat Federation is an organization for the fighters, the bouts get tougher and one needs to keep evolving to survive in such an organization. This fight is very important for me since I will be fighting in a weight class above my usual fighting weight. I am here to prove and give my best to show that I got what it takes to compete at the highest level”, said Faress. In the bout, Faress will move up a weight class to fight in the featherweight division at Brave 19.
