Tbilisi, Georgia: BRAVE Combat Federation™ (BRAVE CF), the world’s fastest-growing and most global mixed martial arts organization, is set to deliver a night of unforgettable action as BRAVE CF: GEORGIA VS. THE WORLD takes center stage at the Tbilisi New Sports Palace on Friday, October 3. In partnership with Georgian Fighting Championship (GFC), the centerpiece of the fifth edition of BRAVE International Combat Week features nine high-stakes clashes pitting Georgia’s best against elite international contenders.
Mohammed Shahid, President of BRAVE Combat Federation, stated:
“For our first event in Georgia, we knew the card had to be special. Every bout was built to showcase the country’s brightest talents against some of the toughest international names in the sport. This is more than just a fight card; it’s history in the making with a World Title on the line.”
Headlining the historic event, No. 1-ranked lightweight Rauli Tutarauli will carry the hopes of his nation as he battles seasoned Dutch warrior Pieter “The Archangel” Buist for the BRAVE CF Interim Lightweight World Championship.
In the co-main attraction, surging Georgian bantamweight Lasha Abramishvili tests his mettle against dangerous Tajik finisher and No. 3-ranked contender Khurshed “Good Boy” Nazarov, with the winner moving closer to a crack at BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion Borislav Nikolic.
Adding more fire to the card, Pakistan’s Ismail “The Volcano” Khan, the country’s first IMMAF World Medalist, collides with Azerbaijan’s Elmir Jafarov in a bout symbolizing the pathway from IMMAF’s amateur stage to BRAVE CF’s world-class platform.
Also making headlines, Bulgarian rising star Nikolay Atanasov debuts under the BRAVE CF banner, ready to prove why flyweight sensation Muhammad “The Punisher” Mokaev once called him one of his toughest amateur rivals.
Olympian Beka Ghviniashvili’s scheduled debut and the much-anticipated clash between Vazha Tsiptauri and Amir Malekpour have been postponed due to injuries. Despite the changes, the lineup remains stacked with must-see battles as BRAVE CF makes its ground-breaking arrival in Georgia.
Fans in Tbilisi can expect fireworks on October 3, as BRAVE CF ignites a celebration of martial arts, national pride, and international competition.
