ALREADY holding the distinction as the Filipino with the most fights in Brave Combat Federation, Team Lakay’s Jeremy “The Juggernaut” Pacatiw looks to create further footing in the promotion when he returns to action on Nov. 15 in Bahrain.
To take on Jordan’s Ali Qaisi at Brave CF 29 at Khalifa Sports City Arena in Isa Town, it will be the ninth fight in Brave by Mr. Pacatiw, who has a 5-3 record in the company, surpassing Brave welterweight world champion Jarrah Al-Selawe, who has eight fights, for most in the promotion.
Mr. Pacatiw is currently riding a three-fight winning streak, the last one over compatriot Marc Alcoba, a submission victory (arm bar) in the third round of their clash in Brave’s Philippine debut in March this year.
While with Brave, Mr. Pacatiw, now fighting in bantamweight after spending time in flyweight, has fought in different parts of the world, including Brazil, Indonesia, Morocco and Pakistan.
He has fought twice in the home of Brave in Bahrain but was unsuccessful each time, something he hopes to change when he makes his return to the place.
Founded in 2016, Brave, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, has made significant headways in bringing top-class MMA action in different parts of the globe.
Since September of 2016, the company has visited more than a dozen countries.
Brave said that by taking MMA to a wider range, it was able to give a truly global platform to athletes for their in-cage abilities and fighting qualities.
