BRAVE CF Releases List Of Nominees For 2021 Knockout Of The Year

The past 12 months have featured plenty of epic battles inside BRAVE Combat Federation’s cage, but the spectacular finishes have always taken the spotlight and have compelled fans to tune in every fight night.

With multiple incredible knockout victories to choose from the 11 live shows in 2021, compiling a definitive list of the very best proved a tough task. With that said, here are the nominees for Knockout of the Year.

The card was aptly-entitled Brave CF 47: Asian Domination in March saw a pair of insane stoppages that are definitely worthy of Knockout Of The Year consideration. 

In one of the evening’s early bouts, India’s Mohammed Farhad scored a fantastic one-punch knockout of Pakistan’s Uloomi Karim. 

Meanwhile, two super welterweights clashed in a featured bout that ended–with Uzbekistan’s Nursulton Ruziboev putting France’s Ibrahim Mane to sleep with a thunderous slam in the opening round.

On the other hand, one knockout win stood out at the historic BRAVE CF 50 last April when Anton Turkalj of Sweden got the job done in 13 seconds against Konstantin Soldatov of Kazakhstan, becoming the record-holder for fastest-ever KO in the promotion’s history.

At BRAVE CF 51: The Future Is Here, Belarusian rising star Denis Maher’s star shined the brightest by trouncing Rinat Sagyntay of Kazakhstan via first-round knockout.

To round up the list of nominees, Maldovan standout Valeriu Mircea had a short night at BRAVE CF 52; Bad Blood in August as he triumphed against Ayub Gaziev, finishing off his Austrian counterpart in only 43 seconds.

Fans will get the chance to determine the winner of this category by casting their votes through BRAVE CF’s official Instagram account @bravemmaf.
