Pakistan and India have always been big sporting rivals, and that rivalry will play out inside the BRAVE CF cage as Rizwan Ali returns to the sport to face Srikant Sekhar in the co-main event of BRAVE CF 85.
The promotion returns to Pakistan for BRAVE CF 85 on August 18, with the co-headliner set to deliver the biggest India vs. Pakistan showdown in MMA today as Pakistani superstar Rizwan Ali returns to mixed martial arts to face Indian MMA veteran Srikant Sekhar in a lightweight matchup.
The latest addition to the historic sporting rivalry, Sekhar and Ali’s matchup will be a contest between two of the top fighters in India and Pakistan, offering a display of the very best from both nations.
Ali aims to maintain his undefeated MMA record and extend his seven-fight winning streak. His recent victory in an India vs. Pakistan karate matchup adds extra motivation, as he looks to impress the BRAVE CF matchmakers and defend his country’s honour in front of his home crowd.
Meanwhile, Sekhar, a seasoned figure in Indian MMA, aims to rebound from a recent loss and re-establish his winning ways. With an MMA career that started in 2012 and six of his seven wins coming via finish, Srikant will be eager to not only revitalize his career but also proudly represent India on Pakistani soil.
With only three combined fights going the distance, the bout promises to deliver fireworks when these two fighters clash in Lahore.
BRAVE CF 85, part of the BRAVE International Combat Week, marks the organisation’s return to Pakistan after six years.
The event will be headlined by a featherweight title eliminator between Rauan Bekbolat and Omar Solomanov, with the full fight card set to be confirmed in due course.
