Unfinished business remains unfinished at BRAVE CF 61 as changes made to fight card

BRAVE Combat Federation’s first trip to Germany was supposed to be the meeting spot for arch-rivals Husein Kadimagomaev and Agshin Babaev, who were set for a rematch after their first fight ended in a No Contest. However, Babaev was forced to pull out due to logistical reasons, so unfinished business remains unfinished for the Lightweight enemies.

However, Kadimagomaev will still fight at BRAVE C 61, as the Swiss phenom now takes on Brazil’s Jose Marcos Santiago Lima Jr., who comes in with a black belt in muay thai and six wins by stoppage in his career. The bout will be contested at a Catchweight of 73kg.

Another change to the fight card happens in the Middleweight division. Enrico Cortese is once again forced to pull out from his scheduled bout against Chad Hanekom, with South Africa’s ‘’Superman’’ now facing off against Mateusz Janur in what is now a Catchweight bout of 89kg.

With BRAVE CF 61, held in association with leading local promotion NFC, Germany will become the 28th nation to host the fastest-growing MMA organization in the world. BRAVE CF 61 takes place on August 6th, in Bonn.
