Gurdarshan Mangat and Mohammed Farhad were two of the finest performers when Brave touched down in India for their first ever event in Mumbai. At Brave 5: Go For Glory, last April, Mangat “Saint Lion” settled a rivalry with Abdul “The Cutman” Muneer, beating the experienced fighter by unanimous decision in the co-main event ( video featured in article ). Earlier that night, Farhad needed only 40 seconds to TKO Irfan Khan, earning fastest knockout in Brave Combat Federation’s thin history.
The historic victory improved Farhad’s overall record to nine wins with two defeats, while Mangat moved to 10-1.
Now the two Indian Bantamweights look to be on a collision course and are using social media to engage in trash talk hoping Brave officials match them up next.
The beef appears to stem from the fact that Mangat beat a personal friend of Farhad in Muneer. Mohammed commented on a training video ( Watch Below ) by “Saint Lion”, claiming his rival didn’t even knew how to throw a punch. Things then got interesting when Mangat responded, mocking Farhad’s English and the two went back and forth over Twitter, with Mohammed saying that Gurdarshan had learned boxing on Youtube and the rival claiming Farhad needed a teacher before using the social media platform and that his tweets were harder to decipher than the Da Vinci code.
Mangat and Farhad have two wins and no losses each, inside the Brave CF cage. If the meeting does take place, the bout could very well have serious title implications. Both men want to make sure they are in the conversation when the promotion decides to crown its first ever Bantamweight champion.
Check out some of the tweets between the two fighters.
