BRAVE CF 89 in Spain made history by hosting the first-ever MMA world title fight on Spanish soil. While the main event was the focus leading up to the night, the entire card exceeded expectations, including a thrilling bout between Anuar Bensayid and Sino Sabzaliev, which has been hailed as a potential "Fight of the Year" candidate.
Anuar Bensayid returned to BRAVE Combat Federation after a successful debut at BRAVE CF 75, where he secured a first-round stoppage. However, Bensayid entered BRAVE CF 89 without a win in his last two fights, having one loss and one draw, making this bout crucial for him. Meanwhile, Tajikistani Sambo Champion Sino Sabzaliev came in with momentum, having finished his last opponent in the first round. His goal was to make a lasting impression in the global MMA scene in his BRAVE CF debut, setting the stage for an exciting clash.
In the opening round, Bensayid excelled in striking, while Sino dominated on the ground, as expected. However, the second round saw both fighters shift into high gear, delivering one of the most exciting rounds in BRAVE CF this year. They traded strikes from all angles, with Sino showing he could compete with an elite striker despite his grappling background. The action continued across all five minutes, with neither fighter backing down. Bensayid’s consistent leg kicks wore down Sino, ultimately leading to a third-round stoppage and ending Bensayid’s two-fight winless streak, securing his second BRAVE CF victory.
The fight, initially overlooked, became one of the standout moments of the event, despite a card filled with superstars. Though Anuar remained undefeated in BRAVE CF, Sino gained the respect of the Spanish audience for his performance, even in defeat. After such an exciting performance, it would be interesting to see what’s next for both fighters.
