BRAVE Combat Federation returned to Slovenia with a historic night of fights at BRAVE CF 96, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From local heroes to rising international stars, the event at Hala Tivoli was packed with emotion, knockouts, and championship drama.
In the main event, Mohammad Fakhreddine cemented his legendary status in BRAVE CF history by reclaiming the Middleweight World Championship. The Lebanese superstar and BRAVE CF’s only ever two-division champion finished reigning Light Heavyweight king Erko Jun via TKO at 4:41 of Round 1, proving once again that he is one of the greatest to ever step foot in the BRAVE CF cage.
The co-main event saw Serbia’s Borislav Nikolic shock the world by submitting champion Nicholas Hwende with a slick ninja choke in Round 4 (1:40), becoming the new BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion and closing a wild chapter of verbal warfare with a statement win.
The heavyweight showdown between undefeated titans Miha Frlic and Shah Kamali had the arena erupting, delivering one of the most thrilling battles in BRAVE CF heavyweight history. Despite enduring multiple knockdowns, Kamali showed incredible heart and resilience, pushing the fight into the third round. But it was Frlic who sealed the moment, unleashing a final barrage to earn a TKO victory just 29 seconds into Round 3, staying unbeaten and making a bold statement in the division.
Earlier on the card, Monika Kucinic delivered validation in her rematch against Sofiia Bagishvili, ending the bout with a stunning TKO at 4:55 of Round 2. The local favorite thrilled the Ljubljana crowd with a career-defining performance.
In the Flyweight division, all eyes were on the unofficial tournament to determine who could challenge Muhammad Mokaev. Marciano Ferreira took a massive leap forward, defeating Bidzina Gavashelishvili via unanimous decision in a high-stakes technical battle.
Slovenian fan-favorite Domen Drnovsek returned to winning ways with a dominant performance over Filip Guša, while Kiril Negru opened the card with a brutal takedown-heavy fight, earning a clear unanimous decision against Róbert Guth.
With title changes, local heroes rising and falling, and a main event that added another golden chapter to Fakhreddine’s legacy, BRAVE CF 96 will go down as one of the biggest nights in European MMA history.
