Four bouts added to Brave 21, including Mehdi Baghdad’s super lightweight debut

Brave Combat Federation will close the year with a fight card in Jeddad, Saudi Arabia, on Dec. 28, and four bouts were just added to the event.

Headlined by Jeremy Kennedy vs. Marat Magomedov at featherweight, Brave 21 will feature the super lightweight debut of UFC and TUF veteran Mehdi Baghdad, who meets Mohamad Ghorabi at 165 pounds, Brave officials told MMA Fighting.

Baghdad (10-6), who scored his only win in the Octagon during the 22nd season of The Ultimate Fighter defeating Artem Lobov via decision in 2015, looks for his first victory in the promotion after a 0-2 run in the UFC and a loss to Paweu0142 Kielek in his Brave debut in May.
