Alex Lohoré eyes first World Title in high-stakes BRAVE 100 showdown in Bahrain
Alex “Da Killa King” Lohoré stands at the doorstep of a milestone that has evaded him throughout his decorated career. After years of competing across the world and facing elite opposition, the French veteran is one victory away from achieving the gold he has chased since his pro debut.
On Friday, November 7 at Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town, Bahrain, the 35-year-old aims to secure the interim super welterweight championship against reigning middleweight titleholder Mohammad “The Latest” Fakhreddine at BRAVE 100. It marks the biggest opportunity of his career — and a chance to validate a decade-long grind.
“Every fighter dreams of one day becoming a World Champion,” Lohoré said. “For me, that dream can become a reality on November 7. I’ve worked my entire career for this opportunity.”
French MMA momentum fuels Lohoré’s championship mission
Lohoré’s rise coincides with a major surge of French success in the global MMA scene. France has produced heavyweight stars such as Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane, as well as pioneers like Christian M’Pumbu and rising contenders like Manon Fiorot. In 2020, Amin Ayoub delivered France its first BRAVE CF title with a knockout win for lightweight gold.
Now, “Da Killa King” looks to continue that legacy, determined to bring another world championship back to French MMA.
“Since the day I signed with BRAVE CF, my mission has been clear — to hold a BRAVE CF World Title,” Lohoré said. “I’m not letting this chance slip away.”
Fakhreddine targets rare three-division feat as Lohoré seeks career-defining moment
The challenge ahead is no ordinary test. Standing opposite Lohoré is Fakhreddine, who is chasing history of his own. A win would make him a three-division world champion, a rare milestone achieved by only one other athlete in global MMA.
But Lohoré believes this is his moment — a culmination of resilience, travel, and years of elite competition.
“Winning this belt would be the most rewarding moment of my career,” he said. “It’s about proving to everyone who has followed my journey that the dream is real.”
As BRAVE CF celebrates its 100th landmark event, both contenders enter with legacy on the line — but only one can leave with championship gold.
