One of BRAVE Combat Federation’s most exciting Flyweight contenders returns to action at BRAVE CF 97 in Burgas, Bulgaria, as Gerard “The Animal” Burns faces off against Venezuela’s Alinson “El Chompiras” Ochoa in a pivotal bout that could shape the future of the division.
Representing Fight Academy Ireland, Burns enters the matchup riding a wave of momentum. The Irish standout is on a five-fight win streak, and has already etched his name in the BRAVE CF history books as the only Flyweight to finish his first two fights in the promotion, a feat that underlines his explosive style and finishing instincts. Burns carries both national pride and elite credentials into every bout, and now has his sights set firmly on climbing the BRAVE CF rankings.
Nicknamed “The Animal” for a reason, Burns combines relentless pressure with a fierce grappling game and striking that improves with every outing. He finished his last two BRAVE CF bouts in dominant fashion and is widely regarded as one of Europe’s brightest Flyweight prospects. With BRAVE CF’s Flyweight title picture heating up, another emphatic win could propel Burns directly into contender status.
Across from him stands Alinson “El Chompiras” Ochoa, a dangerous striker from Venezuela who trains out of Uniq Fight Club, a proven factory for talent. Ochoa boasts three finishes in his five wins, and is known for his aggressive striking style and calculated risk-taking inside the cage. A two-division champion at Strikewarrior, Ochoa is battle-tested and carries the confidence of a fighter used to big moments.
This matchup represents a stylistic clash that promises action: Burns’ all-around game and pressure versus Ochoa’s power and finishing prowess. For Burns, it’s a chance to extend his unbeaten run and strengthen his case as the next big name in BRAVE CF’s 125-pound division. For Ochoa, it’s an opportunity to derail the hype and announce himself as a major threat in the Flyweight ranks.
