Abdoul Abdouraguimov, Jarrah Al-Selawe get physical during final staredown before Brave 27 title fight

Abdoul Abdouraguimov and Jarrah Al-Selawe will rematch for the Brave CF welterweight championship Friday in Abu Dhabi, and the heat between the two is pretty evident.

After both Abdouraguimov and Al-Selawe made weight on Thursday, they went faced off for one last staredown in the middle of the stage in an Abu Dhabi mall. Abdouraguimov, the current 170-pound champion, wanted his opponent to take a step back, but Al-Selawe pushed his face instead, starting a melee.

Abdouraguimov (10-0, 1 no-contest) took the belt away from Al-Selawe (13-3) via split decision back in April, and the promotion opted to book an immediate rematch as the main event of the return of Brave 27 to Abu Dhabi.
