BRAVE Combat Federation will make history on March 9 when it lands in Tel-Aviv for the first time for BRAVE CF 70. The event will transform Israel into the 29th country to host an event for the fastest-growing organization in the world, which will once again be the sole leader in the number of nations visited.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, BRAVE CF has put together a fight card featuring some of the top Israeli fighters going up against a host of international fighters, as well as some of its biggest stars featured in monumental bouts. In total, athletes from 12 nations will represent their flags at BRAVE CF 70: Russia, Kyrgyzstan, United States, South Africa, Brazil, Germany, Israel, South Korea, Greece, Kazakhstan, Cyprus, and Ukraine.
In the main event of the evening, Roman Bogatov will look to continue a huge tradition among BRAVE CF Featherweight champions when he defends his title against top contender Nemat Abdrashitov. All previous 145-pound titleholders have successfully defended their thrones, and he will strive to carry on the torch from Elias Boudegzdame and Bubba Jenkins.
In the co-main event, Jose ‘’Shorty’’ Torres meets Nkosi Ndebele, the reigning BRAVE CF Breakout Fighter of The Year in a bout that could very well determine the next contender to Brad Katona’s Bantamweight crown.
The Brazilians will also feature heavily on the card as former world champion Lucas ‘’Mineiro’’ Martins will look to reinsert himself in the title conversation against Marcel Grabinski, and his pupil Flavio Queiroz will go in search of the biggest win of his career as he takes on Zach Makovsky. Bigfoot Silva, the former Heavyweight MMA fighter, will take on Haim Gozali in a grappling match, while Breno Peterson features in the prelims.
