Since its inception in 2016, BRAVE Combat Federation has played an integral role in empowering French mixed martial artists despite the lack of recognition the sport received in the European nation. For the last seven years, BRAVE CF has taken the French to the world as the promotion endeavored to change lives and impact nations through the power of mixed martial arts and sports in every corner of the globe.
The organization - home to nearly 800 fighters from 83 nations - will bring the world to France for the first time when an international fight card of the highest caliber launches in Nantes, France, on September 7th. The BRAVE CF 74 card will see some of France's top athletes take on the world when the show rolls out in a historic night of action. BRAVE CF 74 will be a celebratory occasion for so many reasons. Not only will it see France become the 29th nation to host BRAVE Combat Federation and confirm the brand as the most-global promotion, but there is more to it, it will also be a milestone mark for both promotion and country.
It's been just over three years since the French government legalized mixed martial arts in January 2020 after many years of lobbying by stakeholders and detailed government consultation. Even before the legalization of MMA in France, BRAVE CF has incentivized the sport for many professional French-based athletes. In total, 21 French athletes have fought under the BRAVE CF banner and have often been given the best spots on the cards, with ten events headlined by a Frenchman thus far.
BRAVE CF has also been home to three France-based champions, including former Lightweight champion Amin Ayoub, former Welterweight champion Abdoul Abdouraguimov and former Featherweight king Elias Boudegzdamem who also represents Algeria. BRAVE CF 74 will be another opportunity to shine a spotlight on the Republic’s deep pool of talent, only this time it will be done in France’s backyard as the event brings the eyes of the world to the development of mixed martial arts in France.
In a clash of juggernauts, French-based Moroccan Salim El Oussaidi takes on Lithuania’s Pavel Dailidko in a Heavyweight matchup. In the Super Welterweight division, France’s Levy Carriel welcomes the DRC’s Eliezer Kubanza in what is expected to be a “Fight of the Night” contender. Higher up on the fight card, France’s fast-rising star Axel Sola returns to the BRAVE CF cage to face Ukraine’s Vladyslav Rudniev in a Lightweight bout. And in the main event, Brazil’s former Lightweight champion Lucas Martins will throw down with hometown favorite Ylies Djiroun in another 155-pound clash.
BRAVE CF 74 takes place at the famous H Arena in Nantes, in association with leading French organization Hexagone MMA.
