Filipino prospect Ian Paul Lora to make Brave CF debut on Sept 19

Filipino lightweight prospect Ian Paul "Choco" Lora is set to make his Brave Combat Federation debut on September 19 in Zhengzhou, China.

The undefeated 20-year-old from Daraga, Albay, boasts a 3-0 professional record with one knockout and one submission victory.

Lora gained local attention for his impressive nine-second knockout win in May, crushing his foe with a left hook.

He will face India's Owais Yaqoob, who also makes his Brave CF debut and is on a three-fight win streak.

The bout is scheduled for three rounds on the supporting card of Brave CF 98.

Lora represents Lion's Den MMA Academy of Bicol and is the second Filipino athlete to be showcased by Brave CF this year.

Brave CF 98 will be headlined by a rematch for the Brave CF Interim Featherweight World Title between Omar Solomanov and Rauan Bekbolat.
