MMA – WHEN the cage doors slam shut at BRAVE CF 94: The Alpine Clash on May 17, it won’t just be Dimitris Moirotsos and Youssef ‘Terminator’ Boughanem squaring off, it will be the hopes of Greece and Morocco colliding head on inside Geneva’s Arena de Genève.
Moirotsos will face Boughanem in a battle of styles that is debated as among the most exciting fights to look out for in the main card.
Moirotsos arrives as the vanguard of Greece’s new mixed martial arts (MMA) generation. Known for his surgical rear-naked choke and fast-evolving wrestling, the Fight Box Athens standout is a man on a mission. His second-round submission of Kostas Angelidis was not just a win; it was a statement that Greek MMA is ready to rise.
Against Boughanem, Moirotsos must stick to his strengths: close the distance, chain wrestle, and capitalise on the smallest opening. His task is as clear as it is daunting, avoid the storm on his feet and drag the ‘Terminator’ into deep waters on the mat.
Standing in his way is a man who knows storms better than most. Boughanem (3-0) carries an aura built across more than 240 Muay Thai wars, including world titles at Lumpinee and Rajadamnern.
Since stepping into MMA, he has proved doubters wrong, blending lethal striking with gritty takedown defence. His recent outings at BRAVE CF have shown an evolution: the terrifying elbows and knees are still there, but now accompanied by sprawl awareness and improved clinch breaks.
Against Moirotsos, Boughanem’s path to victory is brutal and straightforward, keep it standing, unleash hell, and remind the world why the nickname ‘Terminator’ fits so perfectly.
This bout represents far more than a clash of styles. For Moirotsos, a victory would be a seismic leap, putting Greece’s emerging fight scene on the global map.
For Boughanem, it would be another feather in his cap, proof that Muay Thai legends can thrive at the highest levels of MMA. With the global spotlight shining through BRAVECF’s historic Swiss debut – the 36th nation to host a BRAVE event, and part of the promotion’s record-breaking ‘Year of the BRAVE’ campaign, both fighters carry more than personal ambition. They carry the pride of their nations.
At BRAVE CF 94, every strike and scramble will carry weight, promising a contest that will resonate well beyond the walls of Geneva.
In total, athletes from 14 nations will compete at BRAVE CF 94, underscoring the promotion’s unmatched reach. BRAVE CF 94 is a flagship installment in the “Year of the Brave” campaign, an initiative designed to spotlight elite MMA talent on every continent and expand BRAVE CF’s mission of global inclusivity and opportunity in combat sports.
