Naurdiev and Santalahti steal the show at BRAVE CF 54 with action-packed fight and sportsmanship

BRAVE CF 54 was yet another display of the high-level MMA and packed with exciting fights but one contest, in particular, managed to leave fans around the world on the edge of their seats: Ismail Naurdiev vs Olli Santalahti.
During three rounds, the duo showed a huge variety of tools, with world-class striking, a fierce wrestling battle, and skillful moments on the ground.
But, without a doubt, it was the incredible level of sportsmanship from both men throughout the entire fight, especially when, in a given moment, they both took the time to embrace each other in the center of the cage, recognizing the incredible effort and the show put on by them.
At the end of the fight, Naurdiev was declared the winner via unanimous decision but this Super Welterweight bout was one of those in which there was no loser at the end of 15 minutes, and Santalahti left the BRAVE CF Arena with his head high.
