BRAVE CF 99 Heads To Vilnius As Lithuania Becomes MMA’s Newest Stage

BRAVE Combat Federation is about to break new ground once again.
On October 18, Lithuania will take center stage in the world of mixed martial arts when BRAVE CF 99 lands at Twinsbet Arena in Vilnius, marking the Bahrain-born promotion’s debut in the Baltic nation.
The event comes just weeks after BRAVE CF 98 and BRAVE CF: GEORGIA VS. THE WORLD, continuing what the world’s fastest-growing and most global MMA organization has billed as the “Year of the BRAVE.”
With Lithuania now added to the fold, the promotion has officially planted its flag in 38 countries — a feat unmatched in the sport.
For BRAVE CF President Mohammed Shahid, the move is about more than just putting on fights.
“BRAVE CF is committed to expanding into new regions while bringing diverse communities together under the global sports ecosystem,” he said.
“Our debut in Lithuania marks another milestone in the Year of BRAVE. Europe plays a vital role in our vision, and we remain dedicated to connecting it to the international stage while creating lasting opportunities for athletes to thrive.”
Lithuania already has a growing MMA presence, thanks in part to Pavel “The Experiment” Dailidko, who captured the BRAVE CF Heavyweight World Title at BRAVE CF 88 in September 2024 and made a successful defense at BRAVE CF 94 this past May.
Dailidko’s stellar run paved the way for BRAVE CF’s scheduled arrival in Vilnius this coming October.
Viktoras Gecas, the CEO of Unique & Talented Martial Artists (UTMA), the local partner for the event, sees BRAVE CF 99 as a chance to accelerate the sport’s momentum.
“We extend our gratitude to BRAVE Combat Federation for fostering the growth of MMA in Lithuania and providing our athletes with a global platform,” Gecas stated. “Pavel Dailidko’s crowning as the BRAVE CF Heavyweight World Champion inspired a new generation. We believe that BRAVE CF 99 in Vilnius will elevate our sport to even greater heights.”
Fans can expect a card stacked with international names alongside local fighters eager to make their mark on home soil.
That mix has become a hallmark of BRAVE CF events around the world: established contenders sharing the spotlight with emerging talent looking for a breakout moment.
And this isn’t just another stop. With the landmark BRAVE CF 100 looming, every fight, every finish, and every crowd reaction is building toward one of the most significant events in the promotion’s history.
Announcements on the official fight card are still to come, but one thing is clear: when BRAVE CF 99 hits Vilnius, Lithuania will no longer be an afterthought on the MMA map — it will be part of the conversation.
