VIDEO | Brawl breaks out at Brave CF 27 weigh-ins

Brave CF 27, scheduled for Friday in Abu Dhabi, will feature a welterweight title rematch between champion Abdoul Abdouraguimov and challenger Jarrah Al-Selawe. When the pair squared off at the card’s weigh-ins, all hell broke loose.

What started with a bit of shoving — something we often see at weigh-in ceremonies — quickly devolved into an all-out brawl. See it below:

Luckily, this chaotic blow-up was promptly defused, thanks in large parts to the efforts of Brave CF commentator Carlos Kramer.

Abdouraguimov and Al-Selawe first met back in April. On that night, Abdouraguimov captured the title from his foe with a split decision win. Suffice it to say that there is plenty of tension heading into their rematch.
