BRAVE Combat Federation, the fastest-growing mixed martial arts organization in the world, has officially confirmed that a high-profile Flyweight bout has been added to the much-anticipated BRAVE CF 50 fight card, which is set for April 1st.

Ali “Puncher King” Bagautinov of Russia is set to square off with American standout Dustin Ortiz in the quarter-final round of the prestigious BRAVE CF Flyweight World Title Tournament.

Bagautinov has been in the mixed martial arts game for more than a decade and has a wealth of fight experience on his resume. He has competed against some of the best fighters in the world, amassing a stellar 20-7 overall record. Bagautinov made his highly-anticipated promotional debut this past January, dominating Oleg Lichkovakha over the course of three rounds to clinch a clear-cut unanimous decision win and secure a slot in the BRAVE CF Flyweight World Title Tournament.

Hailing from Franklin, Tennessee, Ortiz is one of the most exciting Flyweights in the United States, having been a mixed martial artist since 2010, and has built a reputation as one of the most dangerous athletes in the division. In his maiden BRAVE CF appearance, Ortiz has the opportunity to achieve the biggest victory of his professional career at the expense of Bagautinov.

BRAVE CF 50 is headlined by three World Championship bouts. Jarrah “The Jordanian Lion” Al-Silawi is slated to defend his BRAVE CF Super Welterweight World Championship against Ismail “The Austrian Wonderboy” Naurdiev.

Meanwhile, Amin “Fierceness” Ayoub puts his BRAVE CF Lightweight World Championship on the line for the first time versus Ahmed “The Butcher” Amir in the co-feature attraction. On the other hand, Mohamed Said Maalem and Mohammad “The Latest” Fakhreddine of Lebanon face off with the vacant Light Heavyweight crown on the line
