MIXED MARTIAL ARTS - SLOVENIAN powerhouse Miha Frlic (5-0-1) gave his home fans everything they came for at BRAVE CF 96, delivering a spectacular third-round knockout victory over Shah Kamali (4-1-0) in a hard-hitting heavyweight showdown at Ljubljana’s Hala Tivoli.
From the opening seconds of the bout, Frlic came out with purpose and aggression, using his superior wrestling to impose his will on Kamali. Pressuring early and often, landing brutal ground-and-pound and opening a cut that left the Bangladeshi fighter bloodied and struggling to find his rhythm. The local crowd surged with energy, nearly witnessing a finish before the end of round one.
But just as the narrative seemed written, Kamali turned the page in round two with a heavy right hand that briefly rocked Frlic. For a moment, the arena held its breath. Then came the response – a swift takedown, clinch control, and yet more punishing offense from the Slovenian. Even as Kamali rallied to end the round on top, Frlic had already set the tone.
Then came round three. Frlic, feeding off the crowd’s energy, launched into a final sequence that would seal his legacy in Slovenian mixed martial arts. A perfectly timed flurry landed flush, sending Kamali crashing to the canvas as the arena erupted in celebration. It was not just a win – it was a moment. With the victory, Frlic remains undefeated and takes a major step forward in the BRAVE CF heavyweight division. But more than that, he gave Slovenia something special: a knockout to remember, a flag planted proudly in the center of the BRAVE CF cage, and a reminder that the next great heavyweight might just be coming out of Ljubljana.
