Hussain Al Kurdi is more than just an up-andcoming fighter, he’s a testament to the success of the vision and the development system for Mixed Martial Arts in Bahrain. As a product of the nation’s grassroots-to-global talent pipeline, Al Kurdi represents the next generation of Bahraini athletes ready to make their mark on the international MMA scene.

With a foundation built through 10 amateur fights and a bronze medal at the IMMAF World Championships, Al Kurdi’s journey has been one of perseverance, discipline, and top-tier training. Forged within the KHK MMA team, he has benefited from world-class facilities, elite coaching, and the opportunity to train alongside some of the best athletes in the sport.

Now, the 21-year-old Bahraini is set to take the next step in his career, making his professional debut under the bright lights of a global stage. Al Kurdi will step into the cage at BRAVE CF 91, held in Isa Town, Bahrain, to face Egypt’s Seif Shawki (1-0). For Al Kurdi, this is more than a fight, it’s a chance to showcase the fruits of Bahrain’s MMA development efforts and to solidify his place as a rising star in the sport.

Competing in a global organization like BRAVE Combat Federation is a dream that few athletes realize so early in their careers. For Al Kurdi, the opportunity to perform in front of his home crowd, under the banner of the Kingdom’s premier MMA promotion, is a significant milestone that could propel him into stardom.

As Bahrain continues to cement its reputation as a hub for MMA excellence, fighters like Hussain Al Kurdi are proving that the Kingdom’s investment in grassroots development is paying off. With the support of a passionate fanbase and a system that nurtures talent from the ground up, Al Kurdi’s debut at BRAVE CF 91 is just the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable career.
