American Boudegzdame set for Brave 2

Manama : American Walel Watson will take on Algerian-Frenchman Elias Boudegzdame in the featherweight division at Brave 2: Dynasty on December 2 at Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town.

Walel “The Gazelle” Watson (13-8) will be unleashed, making his Brave debut against Algerian superstar Elias Boudegzdame (12-4) in a fascinating bout in the 66kg weight division.

Team Hurricane Awesome’s Watson arrives in Bahrain at the peak of his fighting career, having already shared a cage with some of the best fighters in the world, and possesses elite MMA skills both standing and on the ground.

Brave is following through on its promise and the CEO Mohammed Shahid is building a legacy which is clearly geared towards being the best MMA organization in the world – offering veteran fighters like Watson an opportunity to have one last run at the top.

The 23-year old Boudegzdame, fighting out of Labonne Ecole – with his head coach and brother Amine – is making serious waves in the sport. He has already impressed fans in the middle-east when featuring in Desert Force and has faced some stiff competition despite being so young. His JiuJitsu skills are truly marvellous and he’s lethal on the ground.
