The stage is set for BRAVE Combat Federation’s debut event in Austria as fighters completed their face offs on Friday
All pre-fight rituals have been completed ahead of BRAVE Combat Federation’s historic debut in Austria with BRAVE CF 90 as fighters faced off on Friday, giving fans a glimpse of what is in store for Saturday night.
The staredown between Recep Gültekin and Rafael Tupy stole the show, as Tupy came dressed as Santa Claus and greeted his opponent with gifts. After exchanging pleasantries, the intensity quickly escalated, signalling to fans that there will be no fun and games when the cage doors close at BRAVE CF 90.
Elsewhere, respect was the theme during the other staredowns. Ahead of their Light Heavyweight main event clash, Rasul Magomedov and ?ukasz Olech displayed mutual respect, despite Olech missing weight. A similar dynamic unfolded during the co-main event face-off between Magomed-Emin Dadaev and Davlet Karataev.
Earlier on Friday, fighters stepped on the scales for the official weigh-ins where ?ukasz Olech and Kinga Jendrasik missed weight, while Youssef Boughanem weighed in after the designated time. Despite these minor hiccups, the fight card remains intact, promising a historic night of action for MMA fans worldwide.
BRAVE CF 90 is set to be a record-breaking event for BRAVE Combat Federation, as Austria becomes the 16th European nation and the 35th nation globally to host a BRAVE CF event—records unmatched by any other MMA organization. Held in association with leading local promotion Sparta CF, the event will take place at the Multiversum Schwechat in Vienna.
