BRAVE CF returns this week with BRAVE 28 set to take place in Bucharest, Romania, on Monday, 4 November 2019. The event is set to start at 12:00 pm ET.

This event will be the first that time that BRAVE CF has touched down in continental Europe. The card was initially slated to take place in the Philippines until circumstances forced a change of locations.The Bahrain-based promotion has said they will be returning to the South East Asian country in the future, but for now, the Philippine’s loss is Romania’s gain.

Monday’s event will be a collaborative affair with BRAVE CF partnering with local based MMA promotion RXF. BRAVE CF has a history with teaming up with local promoters to facilitate the growth of MMA in new regions.

The BRAVE matchmakers have put together a selection of bouts that should provide fans with plenty of action.The main event bout between New Zealand’s John Brewin and Polish slugger Maciej Gierszewki is shaping up to be a pivotal contest in the lightweight division. Both men come into this bout on the back of victories over Ireland’s Cian Cowley.

Gierszewki has five wins to his name, all coming via way of knockout. The Pole sent Cowley to the canvas at BRAVE 24 and will be looking to do the same against Brewin. All of Gierszewki’s losses have come via submission, and he has only gone past the opening round once in his nine bout career.

In Brewin, he will be facing a tough Kiwi fighter who has serious knockout power, plus an impressive ground game. The Bali MMA trained athlete has more tools at his disposal than Gierszewki when it comes to finding ways to get the win, and will be looking to cement himself as one of the divisions best fighters with a win this week. This bout should be an explosive encounter between two men gunning for a title shot.

The co-main event features undefeated Frenchman Benoit St-Denis taking on Poland’s Pawel Kielek. While both men are only 23-years of age, Kielek has had almost three times the number of fights as St-Denis. However, the Pole has alternated between wins and losses in recent years as opposed to St-Denis, who is looking like a solid prospect.

The Parisian based fighter only turned pro this year and has already racked up four straight victories. Kielek will be St-Denis’ most experienced opponent to date, and it will be interesting to see how he handles his upcoming test.

U.S. fans can watch the event on pay-per-view (PPV) via Fite TV. For the majority of the rest of the world, the event can be watched free on bravecftv.

BRAVE 27 went down today inside Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Arena. In the main event, Jordan’s Jarrah Al-Selawe regained the Brave welterweight title after he handed France’s Abdoul Abdouraguimov the first loss of his career.

The pair last fought at Brave 23 with Abdouraguimov, winning the title after earning a controversial split decision victory over the Jordanian. This time around, Al-Selawe made sure to not leave the result in the hands of the judges by dominating the stand-up exchanges and forcing Abdouraguimov’s corner to throw in the towel.

In the co-main event, Canada’s Alex Martinez finished the highly-rated Moroccan Anas Siraj Mounir in impressive fashion to stake his claim at a title shot.

After a two-event tour of South America, Brave CF returns to the Middle East this week with BRAVE 27 set to go down on October 4, 2019, inside Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Arena. The event is set to start at 7:00 pm ET.

The ten bout card will be headlined by the anticipated rematch between Brave Welterweight World Champion Abdoul Abdouraguimov and the man he captured the title from, Jarrah Al-Selawe.

The pair clashed at BRAVE 23 with Dagestan’s Abdouraguimov emerging the victor via a contentious split decision result. Jordan’s Al-Selawe felt that he had done enough to retain the title and this weekend’s clash should prove to be an absorbing affair.

Abdouraguimov, an expert grappler, came close to submitting Al-Selawe in the opening round of their previous contest while Al-Selawe got the better of the striking exchanges. It will be interesting to see how both men will approach their second encounter.

The co-main event between Morocco’s Anas Siraj Mounir and Canada’s Alex Martinez is also a rematch after the pair’s lightweight bout at BRAVE 23 was ruled a no-contest. In the opening round, Martinez inadvertently kicked Mounir in the groin, and the fight was called off after Mounir was unable to continue.

The bout should be a lively contest as both fighters will be looking to maintain their undefeated records as well hoping to build towards a run at the lightweight title.

One bout that fans should keep an eye on is the middleweight clash between Sweden’s Khamzat Chimaev and South Africa’s Mzwandile Hlongwa. Both fighters are undefeated with neither man having ever gone the distance as a professional. Their fight is shaping up to be short, fiery, and highly memorable.

U.S. fans can watch the event on pay-per-view (PPV) via Fite TV. For the majority of the rest of the world, the event can be watched free on bravecftv.
