BRAVE CF 70 will see the promotion open its Bantamweight stable doors for the first time this year as Jose “Shorty” Torres and Nkosi “The Future” Ndebele have been confirmed for Ljubljana, Slovenia, on April 23 in a potential number-one contender fight.

Number-five-ranked Ndebele has been in scintillating form, riding a five-fight win streak from 2019. Since turning professional, he has been committed to BRAVE Combat Federation, where he has churned out a respectable reputation by growing as a fighter and climbing the BRAVE CF rankings.

His last victory came against Indonesia’s Fajar “Macho Kamacho’’ at BRAVE CF 66 when he beat the local star via TKO in the second round in his own backyard. At BRAVE CF 70, he has the opportunity of a lifetime to level up and reap a great reward for his hard work when he faces the world-renowned Torres.

“Shorty’s” reputation precedes him. The man is unbeaten inside the BRAVE CF cage, and he's also a former two-division title holder after winning the Titan FC Flyweight and Bantamweight championships before signing with the most-global MMA promotion - BRAVE Combat Federation.

On two occasions, Torres came close to securing a third world title when he was to compete for the BRAVE CF Flyweight title, however, the unfortunate passing of his father, the pandemic, and weight-cutting issues put paid to those aspirations.

The current number-five ranked BRAVE CF Flyweight has since moved up a division to curtail any possible weight-cut problems in the future, and had a huge performance upon his return to 135 pounds, dominating Jordan’s Izzedine Al-Derbani at BRAVE CF 65.

BRAVE Nation fans can look forward to seeing various European MMA stars at BRAVE CF 70, including Slovenia’s Luka Podkrajsek, Miha Ferlic, Marko Drmonjic, David Forster, Samo Petje, Lithuania’s Pavel Dalidko, and Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Erko Jun. In sticking with its objective to empower the European MMA scene, BRAVE Combat Federation will again work hand-in-hand with the leading local organization WFC which returns to action with WFC 25 in co-promotion with the BRAVE CF 70 card.
