BRAVE CF 71 full fight card announced, with a new main event and 13 countries represented

BRAVE Combat Federation has announced the full fight card for the first of two events in the Kingdom of Bahrain. On June 19, the most global organization in MMA lands home for BRAVE CF 71, before BRAVE CF 72 takes place four days later, on June 23.

BRAVE CF 71 will have a new main event after Kamal Magomedov was forced to pull out due to injury and Marcin Bandel’s first Super Welterweight world title defense has now been postponed.

The number one Featherweight contender’s bout between Omar Solomanov and Ilyar Askhanov steps in as the new main event – with the winner most likely being next in line for Roman Bogatov or Nemat Abdrashitov. The current champion, Bogatov defends his title against Abdrashitov in the main event of BRAVE CF 72.

The new co-main event is a huge bout in the Bantamweight division, as Flyweight contender Velimurad Alkhasov moves up to 135 pounds to face Nicholas Hwende, an undefeated fighter from Zimbabwe, who holds an African title and makes his international debut in Bahrain.

Olympic wrestler Mahmoud Sebie will look to go 3-0 under BRAVE Combat Federation when he meets Oussama Zeidi, an undefeated fighter from Tunisia.

BRAVE CF 71 will also feature the much-anticipated promotional debut of two of the biggest prodigies in mixed martial arts. Ramazan Gitinov, the best amateur fighter of all time, steps up to the BRAVE CF ranks as he takes on Abderrahman Errachidy, from Morocco, in a Lightweight bout, while Khamzat Maaev makes his BRAVE CF debut against Lebanon’s Elias Farah.

In total, BRAVE CF 71 will host athletes from 13 countries: Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Russia, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Palestine, Turkey, Lebanon, Bahrain, Morocco, Egypt, the Philippines, and Tunisia.
