The fight card is here for BRAVE Combat Federation’s debut event in the Netherlands and it promises to deliver big time for MMA fans in the country and across the globe.
BRAVE CF 83, which will be held in association with Enfusion’s MMA brand ECE on May 25 at Alkmaar, Netherlands will be the third event of the year and the second event of the 2024 Europe Tour for BRAVE Combat Federation.
In the headliner of the historic event, former Super Welterweight champion Marcin Bandel makes his return to the BRAVE CF cage, facing off against European MMA superstar Alex Lohore. Bandel, aiming for redemption following his title loss at BRAVE CF 77, looks to reassert himself in the division, while Lohore seeks to showcase his championship pedigree in BRAVE CF's visionary Super Welterweight division as he debuts in BRAVE CF.
The co-main event showcases a clash of promotional debutants in the Middleweight division as Suriname’s Noach Blyden takes on Poland’s Adrian Gralak. Blyden, known for his prowess in kickboxing, brings a three-fight winning streak into his first BRAVE CF appearance, while Adrian Gralak is a Polish grappling champion who aims to capitalize on his recent victory in the regional circuit and add another win to his professional MMA record.
Former Kickboxing and Muay Thai world champion Youssef Boughanem makes his BRAVE CF debut against local favourite Anando Amoksi. Fresh off a knockout victory in his MMA debut, Youssef looks to continue his winning streak as he takes on Amoksi in a Lightweight showdown.
Another interesting matchup on the card features Muhammad Idrisov, returning to BRAVE CF after a significant regional win, as he moves up to Bantamweight to take on Brice Picaud. Idrisov will be looking to bounce back after his loss against Bidzina Gavashelishvili at BRAVE CF 72, while Picaud returns to the organization after a three-year hiatus. Riding on a two-fight winning streak, the French superstar will be eager to secure his first victory under the BRAVE CF banner when he takes on Idrisov.
Chequina Noso Pedro returns to BRAVE Combat Federation after his promotional debut back at BRAVE CF 79. He will be looking to secure his second straight win in the most global MMA organisation in the world as he takes on undefeated Austrian prospect Ali Isajew at Super Welterweight.
