Jeremy Pacatiw of Philippines beat Mumbai's Chaitanya Gavali via split decision to win the bantamweight fight of the Brave 5, Mixed Martial Arts event organised by Bahrain's Brave Combat Foundation at the National Sports Club Of India in Worli yesterday. Interestingly, initially both the fighters were to fight different opponents. Pacatiw was to take on Mohammed Farhad of India, while Gavali was to fight Bahrain's Hamza Kuheji. Since Hamza got injured, the organisers changed the opponents.
