BRAVE Combat Federation is all set to make its debut in Bonn, Germany on August 6 in association with The National Fighting Championship (NFC).
Newly-crowned NFC champion Mert Özyildirim will defend his title against former NFC champion Max Coga as the co-main event of the evening in one of the strongest weight classes in Germany, the Featherweight division.
Never before has a featherweight champion in NFC managed to defend his title two times in a row. Öyzildirim (10-3-0) was able to snatch the title from Jarno Errens only in April this year.
Dutchman Errens, in turn, claimed the title at NFC 7 in December 2021 with a sensational knockout after just 67 seconds against then-champ Coga.
Özyildirim, from Balingen, Germany, trains with UFC veteran Peter Sobotta’s Planet Eater team. He was able to score victories over well-known names like Mohamed Trabelsi, Can Aslaner and Michael Rirsch and was one of the huge talents in Germany for a long time, until he had a run of bad luck and lost to Benjamin Brandner and Errens.
He only got better following the defeats as shown in the re-match against Errens, where he was able to secure the NFC title with a strategically outstanding fight.
‘Mad’ Max Coga (23-8-1) is one of Germany’s most renowned fighters, having competed in KSW, M-1 and the PFL among others in his career before deciding to fight in Germany again to popularise the sport in the nation.
The Frankfurt nightclub owner is not only an experienced and red-hot fighter, he is also one of the most dazzling and popular figures on the German fight scene. His fights are celebrated with vigour and wherever he competes, he turns the hall into a veritable witch’s cauldron.
In his last fight against Errens, he started as the favourite but had to accept a painful defeat. He is now all the more motivated to get the title back.
In this duel, the two fighters will both be eager to get their hands on the title.
