BRAVE CF 94 is about to host one of the most electrifying stylistic clashes on the card as France’s Alex “Da Killa King” Lohoré goes toe-to-toe with Poland’s submission machine Mansur “Borz” Abdurzakov in a super welterweight war that could have title implications written all over it. It’s the kind of matchup MMA fans live for—power versus precision, one-punch chaos versus relentless pressure.
Mansur Abdurzakov (11-5-0) arrives with a purpose and a plan: drag Lohoré into deep waters and squeeze the life out of his striking rhythm. A master of submissions, Abdurzakov has won eight of his eleven fights by tapout, recently putting Poland’s Micha? Pietrzak to sleep with a slick triangle choke in June 2024. He’s not just hunting finishes, he’s executing them with cold precision. For Abdurzakov, this isn’t just another bout; it’s a coming-out party on BRAVE CF’s global stage and a chance to prove that ground warfare still rules in a world obsessed with knockouts.
But knocking people out is exactly what Alex Lohoré (25-11-0) does best. The French knockout artist has terrorized cages across Europe, and 2024 has been a renaissance year for “Da Killa King.” Two brutal first-round TKOs over Marcin Bandel and Jivko Stoimenov reminded everyone that Lohoré’s hands are as heavy as ever. With 13 knockouts on his record and titles from BAMMA to Cage Warriors, Lohoré has seen it all and finished most of it. If Abdurzakov chooses to engage on the feet for too long, the bout could conclude swiftly—and decisively.
This is more than just a grappler vs. striker throwback, it’s a high-stakes collision between two veterans who know exactly what a win here means. For Abdurzakov, it’s the fast track to title talk and the crowning of Poland’s next MMA star. For Lohoré, it’s about legacy, silencing the submission threat, and stamping himself as one of BRAVE CF’s premier finishers. Both warriors are hunting for a statement victory—expect an explosive start and a fight that’s unlikely to see the final horn.
