The fire still burns between Mohamed Said Maalem and Mohammad Fakhreddine. Two explosive fights. One chaotic aftermath. And now, Maalem is calling for the trilogy to be finalized.
After two controversial matchups at BRAVE CF 52 and BRAVE CF 57, the Algerian light heavyweight is demanding a third fight. “Fakhreddine, if you are a man, accept the fight,” he declared. “I gave you your rematch in Bahrain. Now give me mine. I will defeat you, and you know it.”
At BRAVE CF 52, Maalem initially scored what appeared to be a TKO victory. But the result was overturned due to illegal strikes, turning it into a No Contest. Still, Maalem offered Fakhreddine a rematch — and they ran it back at BRAVE CF 57.
That second bout, held in Bahrain, saw Fakhreddine win by TKO in round two. But the finish was met with heavy debate. What followed became one of the most chaotic scenes in BRAVE Combat Federation history: a post-fight brawl erupted, teams stormed the cage, and the footage went viral — drawing global attention to their feud.
Now, Maalem wants closure. With each fighter holding one result (official or overturned), he sees the trilogy as unfinished business. “I gave you your shot. Now be a man and give me mine,” he repeated in his callout.
This rivalry stands as one of the most intense in BRAVE CF history. A trilogy would give fans the definitive ending they crave — and cement the legacy of the man who wins it.
