Brave President highlights cultural impact
Manama : Mohammed Shahid, President of Brave Combat Federation has highlighted that Brave 9: The Kingdom of Champions had marked a significant cultural impact in the sport media industry in the Middle East. Brave 9 marked the biggest-ever MMA show in Middle East history.
The promotion has also featured multiple artists and celebrities as a part of their event supporting the vision of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Hamad Al Khalifa for the sport.
The list of MMA legends including Wanderlei Silva, John Kavanagh and Frankie Edgar were in attendance alongside Bollywood superstar Sunil Shetty and major media personalities from Bahrain.
The show has achieved multiple milestones as Bahraini singer Hanan Redha became the first woman to sing the national anthem of Bahrain in public. Teen sensation Hala Al Turk, winner of Arabs Got Talent, also performed for the ninth edition of Brave Combat Federation.
Brave president Mohammed Shahid highlighted that Brave Combat Federation was also about entertaining people in and out of the cage and was much more than MMA, a sport which naturally values the entertainment side.
“Brave Combat Federation is so much more than just about MMA. We go beyond the sport. MMA values entertainment naturally and we wanted to highlight that with our Combat Week, which had musical concerts, art exhibits, among other things, aside from the fights. We wanted to use those activities to help bring more interest to the sport and we were able to accomplish that,” said Shahid.
In addition to art exhibits and musical concerts, the International Combat Week, which hosted both Brave 9 and the IMMAF World Championships, also featured a special car show, food festivals, visits to local schools and international embassies, aside from cultural performances at the Khalifa Sports City Arena, which showed Brave’s influence in all cultural areas.
