Former Brave Combat Federation Welterweight World
Champion Jarrah “The Jordanian Lion” Al-Selawe, 26, of Jordan makes it hard for
anyone to guarantee which martial arts he was first involved in. He is back to
his roots in kickboxing as he seeks revenge against reigning Brave CF Welterweight
World Champion Abdoul “Sinistro” Abdouraguimov, 23, of France at “Brave 27.”
Brave CF will hold “Brave 27” at the Mubadala Arena in Abu Dhabi, United
Arab Emirates on October 24, 2019. The rematch between Al-Selawe and
Abdouraguimov will be the headline.
Al-Selawe first rose to prominence as a pure striker with two knockout
victories in his first few professional bouts. After he started to train
grappling, however, his style changed and he now has more submission wins to
his name than knockouts, proving he’s dangerous everywhere.
On April 19, 2019, Abdouraguimov challenged Al-Selawe, the then reigning
Brave CF Welterweight World Champion, at “Brave 23” at the Martyr Rashid
Al-Ziyoud Hall Boxing Arena in Amman, Jordan. The French-Russian challenger won
via split decision.
As the Brave CF’s rematch of the year looms, Al-Selawe has turned his
focus back on his kickboxing skills. He guarantees that he will try to knock
Abdouraguimov out when they meet again at “Brave 27.”
“You know, last time I felt like I was targeting a decision win,”
Al-Selawe stated. “I didn’t pull the trigger. This is a message for Abdoul.”
“For the rematch, I’m going for the knockout,” the Jordanian mixed martial
artist continued. “I expect the support of the Arab fans for the event. I’d
like everyone in our MMA community to go see my rematch.”
The rematch is just one of the big fights expected for Brave CF’s return
to Abu Dhabi. As the promotion makes its third trip to the emirate, the biggest
names in Arab MMA history will be in action, such as Anas “The Moroccan
Sensation” Siraj Mounir, 33, of Morocco taking on Alex Martinez, 24, of Canada,
Tarek Suleiman, 30, of Syria going up against Rustam “Russian Bear” Chsiev, 34,
of Russia plus the returns of Mohammad “The Latest” Fakhreddine, 35, of Lebanon
and Flavio Serafim, 39, of Brazil.
