FRENCH finisher Levy Carriel will make his much-anticipated BRAVE CF debut next month on a historic night in European and French MMA.
On September 7, France will become the 29th nation to host BRAVE Combat Federation when the most-global MMA promotion touches down in Nantes.
Carriel will throw down in his first global MMA bout when he meets DRC’s Eliezer Kubanza in a super welterweight fight on a fight card co-promoted by leading European brand Hexagone MMA.
The Frenchman is a natural stand-up fighter with a background in Muay Thai and kickboxing. His taste for the art of eight limbs is evident in his fight record.
The unbeaten professional has never gone the distance with three stoppages in three fights, including that thunderous first-round left hook against Germany’s Thorsten Jackobs at Intergra FC 15 in 2021.
His latest domination came earlier this year when he delivered his second professional knockout against Brazil’s Emerson Silva at FMMAF’s Xplosif event in January. This match against Kubanza is set to light up France as both athletes are extremely quick with great knockout power.
Kubanza recently went viral after his brutal knockout against Rayani Atmani, and he will now meet another knockout artist, equally hungry to make a splash in Nantes, France.
French fight fans have every reason to get excited as the BRAVE 74 fight card is slowly taking shape with a few banger bouts lined up. The latest fight confirmed for the much-anticipated European event is a lightweight bout between France’s fast-rising star Axel Sola and Ukraine’s Vladyslav Rudniev.
Sola – a former pound-for-pound amateur champion – will look to make a big statement in his backyard when he faces the Poland-based four-time Combat Sambo world champion Rudniev in a scenario of “someone’s 0 has got to go”.
Fighting out of KHK Team Bahrain and Boxing Squad, Sola is unbeaten in six professional fights and will also make his sixth appearance after shining at BRAVE CF 9, 54, 58, 61, and 68.
His last fight saw him compete outside the BRAVE cage when he stopped Paraguay’s Cesar Arzamendia in round three of their Ares FC bout in June.
