Brave Combat Federation announces the departure of NKOSi “The Future” Ndebele, which means the end of an unusual chapter in the history of the organization. Ndebele, which was created from Diepsloot streets to become the first fully home champion of Brave CF, leaves the promotion after more than 8 years, making history as our first home master.
The NDeBELE journey from Brave CF began in 2017, from amateur to professional ranks. During his career he competed in 11 professional fights at Brave CF Banner, gathering an impressive record of 8 wins, and 5 came in space. His crowned took place in Brave CF 80 in December 2023, where he won the Bantamweight championship with a stunning performance against Jose Torres. This victory not only showed his excellent blow, but also meant his growth as a global MMA star.
“NKOSI was an integral part of Brave’s journey, and his contribution to the organization goes beyond his fight. He was a real professional and master, embodimenting everything we stand. His presence left a lasting impact, and we appreciate the years that Brave CF devoted,” said Mohammed Shahid, president of Brave CF.
NDeBELE’s career is marked by unusual milestones: he fought on 3 different continents, competed in 4 title fights and accumulated a total time of a cage of 143 minutes and 24 seconds-the best in the history of Brave CF. These numbers emphasize its strength and dedication in sport.
Thinking about his time with a bold CF, Ndebele said: “My journey with the bold CF was transformative. From my first amateur fight to becoming a champion, I grew up not only as a warrior, but as a person. MMA talent for the world.”
NDeBELE’s last performance for Brave CF was at Brave CF 91 in Bahrain, where he lost the title in a strictly disputed five -time fight with Nicholas Hwende from Zimbabwe. Despite this loss, Ndebele’s heritage remains intact as a fierce competitor, who consistently inspired fans with his performances.
Muhammad Rizvan Ali, a relationship with a relationship with an athlete at Brave CF, added: “Working with the NKOSi was a privilege. His professionalism, sacrifice and journey from amateur to the world champion were a high standard for our athletes. He will always be part of a bold CF family.”
When Nkosi Ndebele goes to the next chapter of his career, Brave CF celebrates his achievements and an indelible sign, which he left in an organization and African MMA. His history is an inspiration for beginner fighters throughout Africa – developing this with determination and perseverance, the size is within reach.

Glover Teixeira wants Alex Pereira to settle his rivalry with
Josh Hokit in the UFC
When asked about Pereira vs. Hokit, Teixeira laid out his
prediction for how the bout will play out.
“Personally, I would love to see him against Hokit,†Teixeira said
in an interview with journalist Laerte Viana. “I think this guy
speaks a lot of bullsh*t and I believe ‘Poatan' would knock him out
in the first round.â€

simply waiting for his next assignment. The rivalry between the
Brazilian former two-division champ and the polarizing undefeated
