In partnership with Georgian Fighting Championship (GFC), the milestone event takes place on Friday, October 3, at the Tbilisi New Sports Palace.
“For our first event in Georgia, we knew the card had to be special. Every bout was built to showcase the country’s brightest talents against some of the toughest international names in the sport. This is more than just a fight card; it’s history in the making with a World Title on the line,” said BRAVE CF President Mohammed Shahid.
With this groundbreaking showcase, Georgia proudly becomes the 37th nation to host a BRAVE CF live event, further cementing the Bahrain-based promotion’s reputation as the most globally expansive MMA organization in history.
Fans in Tbilisi can expect a spectacular night of fireworks, with nine thrilling bouts highlighting local warriors against international standouts in a true celebration of martial arts and cultural pride.
At the top of the bill, Georgia’s No. 1-ranked contender Rauli Tutarauli will look to bring glory to his homeland when he collides with seasoned Dutch veteran Pieter “The Archangel” Buist for the BRAVE CF Interim Lightweight World Championship.
The excitement continues in the co-main event, where Georgian sensation Lasha Abramishvili tests himself against dangerous Tajik dynamo and No. 3-ranked contender Khurshed “Good Boy” Nazarov in a pivotal bantamweight clash.
A victory in this high-stakes match could position either man for a future shot at reigning BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion Borislav Nikolic.
Another can’t-miss contest pits Pakistan’s Ismail “The Volcano” Khan — the nation’s first-ever IMMAF World Medalist — against Azerbaijan’s Elmir Jafarov, a showdown symbolizing the pathway from amateur stardom to professional prominence under the BRAVE CF banner.
Meanwhile, highly regarded Bulgarian prospect Nikolay Atanasov makes his long-awaited BRAVE CF debut.
Once praised by flyweight sensation Muhammad “The Punisher” Mokaev as one of his toughest amateur rivals, Atanasov is determined to make a statement in front of the Georgian crowd.
Though Olympian judoka Beka Ghviniashvili and standout striker Vazha Tsiptauri were both sidelined by injuries that postponed their respective bouts, the lineup remains stacked with elite talent and top-tier encounters.
As the countdown to October 3 continues, anticipation builds for a historic night in Tbilisi, where BRAVE CF will etch another chapter in its unparalleled journey across the globe.
