BRACE, Australia's top MMA organization, debuts on GFL.tv on February 18 with Brace for War 14 - Canberra at the National Convention Centre in Canberra, Australia. The 9-bout card is headlined by the country's top MMA talents and this event promises to show the world that mixed martial arts is a thriving and growing sport Down Under.
In the main event, Luke Hume (5-2) fights Dave Brooksbank (2-0). This is a battle of Australia versus the UK as Hume will have the home Aussies cheering him on against Brooksbank who is ready to conquer the hometown hero. Hume is coming off a tough loss at Brace for War 13, and looks to get back into title contention with a victory over the up and coming Brooksbank. Hume is able to finish fights on the ground or in the standup and if need be has the conditioning to go the distance. Look for him to try and wear out the less experienced Brooksbank and get him to the later rounds. Brooksbank is a noted grappler as his two victories have both come via first round submissions. Brooksbank will look to do the same against Hume and make it another short night.
In the co-main event, Duke Didier (1-0) battles Hugo Miller (0-0) in a heavyweight tilt. Didier is an Australian judo champion and will have a huge advantage if the fight goes to the ground. Didier finished his only opponent in under a minute at Brace for War 10, and will try and implement the same game plan here. Miller's large limbs will be calling cards for submission attempts if Didier can get the bout to the mat. But Miller's size advantage and reach will pose a huge threat to Didier while the fighters are on their feet.
Also scheduled to compete, in a battle of giants, are local favorite Andrew Machin (4-1) versus Joel Dixon (1-1) and females Bec "Rowdy" Hyatt (0-1) against the debuting Sara Morrison.
MMA is expanding around the globe and now with the top organization in Australia signing a broadcast deal with the GFL Combat Sports Network, MMA fans worldwide can see the rising talents from Australia. Order Brace for War 14 now!
