Pa-ac seeks impressive win in Brave

-

INDEED a busy schedule for Team Lakay fighters.

With five of his teammates seeing action in Manila on April 21, up and coming fighter Jomar Pa-ac returns to the cage as he guns for another victory in Brave Combat Federation on March 31 at Ipic Arena in Abu Dhabi.

Pa-ac is all fired up as he seeks win number four while taking on Atif Mohamad Khadim in the undercard of Bharain's first MMA promotions.

Despite losing to fellow Baguio fighter Roy Menzi Jr. in his lone amateur bout, Pa-ac emerged as a serious MMA fighter in the pro ranks scoring technical knockout against Mardi Zulita in 2015 and another submission victory via armbar in 2016.

In his Brave CF debut, Pa-ac escaped with

a unanimous decision win against Haider Farman in December last year.

Headlining the event is a featherwei­ght championsh­ip clash between Algerian superstar Elias Boudegzdam­e and former UFC fighter Masio Fullen.

Mohammad Fakhreddin­e, who was set to headline the promotion’s first ever event will finally make his highly anticipate­d promotiona­l debut at Brave 4: Unstoppabl­e.

Regarded as one of the top fighters in middle east, Fakhreddin­e is known for his aggressive brawling style. With a record of eight wins and a single loss, fight fans in middle east can look forward to seeing him in Abu Dhabi.

Marcus Vinicius Cruz (8-1-1) is another major star set to enter Brave CF cage. Currently riding on a five-fight winning streak, Cruz spars with UFC Superstar Anderson Silva while Daniele Scatizzi who trains under John Kavanagh will be one of the biggest additions to the welterweig­ht division. Originally from Cerveteri, Rome, Scatizzi currently trains at Straight Blast Gym Ireland and will be facing Jarrah Al Selawi. Specifical­ly designed to delight the fans of MMA in the Arab world, the unbeaten Ottman will face the four-time European MMA Champion, Charlie Leary. Roderick Osis
