BRAVE Combat Federation 47: Asian Domination was the beginning of a four-event series on successive Thursday’s in Kombat Kingdom, Bahrain. The series is held outdoors at the 500-year-old Arad Fort.
Next up is Arad Fort, a compact 15th century defensive fort built to protect the waterway between Bahrain and Muharraq islands. It’s located close to the airport, initially on an island of its own that was later assimilated into the bigger Muharraq island by land reclamation. pic.twitter.com/BHAlhj9eJj

In just six days an army of skilled workers turned it into the coolest fight venue since 1972, when Bruce Lee beat Chuck Norris at the Colosseum in Rome via Oblique Kick and Guillotine. And that was a movie. So call Arad Fort the coolest fight venue ever.
#BRAVECF47 took place at Arad Fort, #Bahrain, indisputably THE COOLEST fight site since @brucelee beat @chucknorris at The Colosseum in 1972. This is what the #MMA vision of @khalidbinhamad as carried out by @shahidthehawk looks like. pic.twitter.com/moJEACpUpY

The event had a ridiculous number of HOLY F@$%ING $#!@ moments, include one as seen via ref cam. The ref cam first appeared at World Caged Combat 1: Australian Ultimate Fighting in 1997, and has been underutilized since. No longer.
Nursulton Ruziboev was mounted by Ibrahim Mane, reversed, was locked in a triangle choke, and then won via a combination of hitting his opponent with the planet Earth from one side, and an elbow on the other.

Nursulton Ruziboev knocked his opponent out cold with a nasty slam 🥶
