The BRAVE CF Bantamweight title will be on the line in one of the most heated and personal co-main events in recent memory, as reigning champion Nicholas Hwende defends his crown against Serbia’s challenger, Borislav Nikolic, at BRAVE CF 96 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

With tension running high, Hwende has made no secret of his intentions heading into the bout — promising a violent spectacle and a punishing five-round war. “Coming into this fight thinking you can knock me out isn’t safe, he better be prepared for five rounds of hard labour.I want a fight that people will talk about.” warned the champion.

Hwende’s rise to the top has been fueled by grit, aggression, and an unwavering belief in his ability to break opponents mentally and physically. Known for his relentless pace and unfiltered confidence, the Zimbabwean champion has turned each defense into a showcase of dominance. But in Nikoli?, he may be facing his most composed and durable challenger yet.

The Serbian striker, unfazed, responded coolly to the champion’s threats. “He thinks it’s going to be an interesting fight” said Nikoli?. “But he isn’t a fighter like that. If he can go the distance — then it’s going to be my win.”

Nikoli?’s technical discipline, sharp counters, and elite cardio offer a stark contrast to Hwende’s ferocious style — setting up a stylistic clash that fans won’t want to miss. Can the calm precision of Nikoli? weather the storm? Or will Hwende deliver the violent, bloody war he’s promising?

As the co-main event of the most stacked card in Slovenian MMA history, BRAVE CF 96, this title fight is more than just gold — it’s personal.
