Tajikistan might not be a household name for MMA lovers just yet, but the country is producing some of the biggest stars of tomorrow and has a pathway to success with their IMMAF ties and investment in grassroots programs. One of the fighters that have benefitted from this approach is set for the biggest bout of his career. Tajikistan’s own Jahongir Saidjamolov will take on Kyrgyz superstar Abdisalam Kubanychbek in the main card of BRAVE CF 46, set for January 16th.

Over the past seven years of his professional MMA career, Gamzat Khiramagomedov has only lost once a total of 10 fights, and has already gotten back on track after losing his undefeated record. He will look to make an instant impact in his first bout for BRAVE Combat Federation, which takes place on January 16th, at BRAVE CF 46, in Sochi, Russia.

BRAVE CF Super Lightweight world title challenger Leonardo “Macarrão” Mafra arrived at BRAVE Combat Federation back in 2017 surrounded by expectation, being a very familiar face to the international MMA community and regarded as one of the most talented names fighting out of Southern Brazil. After dealing with last-minute cancellations, he would go on to fight for the fastest-growing MMA organization in the next year.

BRAVE Combat Federation has made it clear in the past few months that it intends to enter Russia for the first time with a bang. More recently, in the past few weeks, the fastest-growing promotion in the world has worked overtime to add exciting fights to the fight card.
