Pinoy prospect set for international debut at BRAVE CF 98

MANILA, September 11 ------ A young Filipino talent will make his debut when BRAVE Combat Federation returns to China next Friday, September 19, seeking to make a strong first impression.

Undefeated lightweight prospect Ian Paul "Choco" Lora (3-0), who hails from Daraga, Albay, will be in action in the support card of BRAVE CF 98. Lora will represent Lion's Den MMA Academy of Bicol when he steps into the BRAVE CF cage. It will also be the BRAVE CF debut of Yaqoob, who enters the match on a three-fight winning streak capped by a second-round stoppage last April.

Lora is the second Filipino athlete to be showcased by BRAVE CF, following the signing of Drex "T-Rex" Zamboanga earlier this year. BRAVE CF 98 will be headlined by a highly anticipated rematch, as Ukraine's No. 1 contender Omar Solomanov takes on Kazakhstan's No. 2-ranked Rauan "Shymyr" Bekbolat for the BRAVE CF Interim Featherweight World Title.
