To say that BRAVE Combat Federation delivered a spectacular showcase inside the packed Aleksandar Nikolić Hall in Belgrade, Serbia, with BRAVE CF 104 last Saturday, February 14, is an understatement.
Fans witnessed 12 high-octane bouts, many ending in decisive and dramatic fashion. From stunning knockouts to scintillating submissions, the card produced moments that continue to echo across social media and among fight enthusiasts worldwide.
Here are the five unforgettable finishes that defined BRAVE CF 104.
Borislav Nikolić
Reigning BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion Borislav Nikolić put forth a triumphant homecoming performance that electrified the Serbian crowd.
Facing Portugal’s Matheus Malta in a 64-kilogram catchweight clash, Nikolić endured early adversity as Malta repeatedly sought takedowns and controlled the pace in the opening exchanges.
However, the 33-year-old rising star gradually found his rhythm. Once he settled into his striking, Nikolić unleashed relentless boxing combinations with precision and intensity.
The momentum shift became undeniable in the second round when he connected cleanly and forced a stunning walk-off knockout. The arena erupted as the hometown hero sealed one of the most memorable finishes of the night.
