BRAVE Combat Federation kicks off its 2025 calendar in spectacular fashion on April 18 with BRAVE CF 93, marking the promotion’s highly anticipated return to China. As the world’s most global MMA organization, BRAVE CF continues to push boundaries, and its upcoming event promises high-stakes action featuring elite fighters from around the world.
At the heart of this blockbuster card is the main event showdown between two of Eurasia’s top lightweight contenders, Rauli Tutarauli (Georgia) and Olzhas Eskaraev (Kazakhstan). With both fighters eyeing a shot at the BRAVE CF Lightweight Championship, this high-octane clash is set to be a defining moment for the division.
Tutarauli (35-8-0) and Eskaraev (16-7-0) are among the most dangerous fighters in BRAVE CF’s stacked lightweight division. Tutarauli, a former title challenger, is known for his relentless forward pressure and knockout power. With an aggressive, no-nonsense style, the Georgian warrior has built a reputation for finishing fights early. He is determined to get another shot at championship gold and sees Eskaraev as the final obstacle in his path.
Eskaraev, on the other hand, is a rising force in the division. The Kazakh standout has steadily climbed the rankings with impressive wins, showcasing a well-rounded skill set that includes sharp striking and a dangerous ground game. After falling short in his bid for the interim title at BRAVE CF 59, Eskaraev has rebounded with dominant performances, proving that he belongs among the lightweight elite. A win over a battle-tested veteran like Tutarauli would cement his status as a legitimate contender.
This fight is more than just another bout on the BRAVE CF calendar—it is a clash of national fighting traditions. Georgia and Kazakhstan have produced some of the most ferocious fighters in MMA, with deep-rooted histories in wrestling, sambo, and striking arts.
Tutarauli represents Georgia’s rich grappling and striking background, drawing inspiration from the country’s history of producing world-class martial artists. His aggressive approach inside the cage mirrors the warrior mentality that Georgian fighters are known for. Every fight for him is a battle for national pride, and he will stop at nothing to bring another victory home.
Eskaraev embodies Kazakhstan’s evolving MMA scene, where sambo and wrestling are the foundation of many top fighters. With each performance, he carries the weight of a nation eager to make its mark on the global stage. A win in China would not only elevate his career but also reinforce Kazakhstan’s presence in the sport.
Both fighters have unfinished business in the lightweight division. The reigning BRAVE CF Lightweight Champion, Abdisalam Kubanychbek, has already defeated both men in past matchups, but neither fighter believes their story with the champion is over.
For Tutarauli, this fight is about redemption. Having already come close to the title before, he knows a statement win over Eskaraev could put him right back into the championship conversation. His ability to dictate the pace and overwhelm opponents with pressure will be his key to victory. But for Eskaraev, this fight is about validation. He has faced top-tier opponents, but a victory over an established star like Tutarauli would be the biggest moment of his career.
One thing is certain—when these two warriors step into the cage on April 18, fireworks are guaranteed.
