BRAVE Combat Federation has officially announced the complete bout lineup for BRAVE CF: GEORGIA VS. THE WORLD, the centerpiece of the fifth edition of BRAVE International Combat Week.
In partnership with Georgian Fighting Championship (GFC), the historic event is set for Friday, October 3, at the Tbilisi New Sports Palace.
With this groundbreaking showcase, Georgia proudly becomes the 37th nation to host a BRAVE CF live event, further cementing the Bahrain-based promotion’s status as the most globally expansive MMA organization in history.
Fans in Tbilisi can expect a night of fireworks, with 11 thrilling bouts matching local heroes against international standouts in a celebration of martial arts and global competition.
At the top of the bill, No. 1-ranked contender Rauli Tutarauli will look to bring glory to his country as he collides with seasoned Dutch veteran Pieter “The Archangel” Buist for the BRAVE CF Interim Lightweight World Championship.
The stakes are high as Tutarauli aims to secure a World Title on home soil, while Buist seeks to add another chapter to his storied career.
The co-main event features a pivotal bantamweight clash between Georgia’s own Lasha Abramishvili and Tajik powerhouse Khurshed “Good Boy” Nazarov.
With the winner potentially earning a crack at reigning divisional king Borislav Nikolic, this bout promises to shake up the division.
Further adding to the international flair, Pakistan’s Ismail “The Volcano” Khan — the first IMMAF World Medalist from his country — will face Azerbaijan’s Elmir Jafarov in a key contest that highlights BRAVE CF’s mission of developing amateur talent into professional stars through its long-standing partnership with IMMAF.
Local fans will also witness the highly anticipated professional MMA debut of Olympic judoka and national icon Beka Gviniashvili, whose transition from the tatami to the cage is expected to draw massive attention.
Meanwhile, Bulgarian standout Nikolay Atanasov — whom highly touted flyweight sensation Muhammad “The Punisher” Mokaev once described as one of his toughest opponents in the amateurs — will finally make his long-awaited debut under the BRAVE CF banner.
The rest of the card will feature a blend of Georgian warriors and elite fighters from around the globe, ensuring an evening where Tbilisi becomes a true battleground of skill, heart, and national pride.
As the countdown begins, BRAVE CF: GEORGIA VS. THE WORLD promises to deliver an unforgettable spectacle and solidify Georgia’s place on the global MMA map.
