MMA – BRAVE Combat Federation has bid farewell to one of its most electrifying athletes.
DR Congo’s Eliezer ‘King Kong’ Kubanza embarks on the next chapter of his professional career in pursuit of bigger opportunities on the international stage.
Kubanza joined BRAVE CF with a reputation as a ferocious striker and, over the course of his tenure with the promotion, he lived up to every expectation. With his explosive style and fearless approach inside the cage, ‘King Kong’ quickly became one of the most exciting acts in the BRAVE CF super welterweight division and a fan-favourite among African mixed martial arts (MMA) supporters around the world.
Representing the DRC, Kubanza carried the flag for a new generation of African athletes making their mark on international promotions. Always thrilling and dominant, Kubanza not only cemented his position as the number one contender in the super welterweight division, but also underscored his role as a true trailblazer for African MMA.
BRAVE CF takes immense pride in having been the platform where he showcased his talents, built his global reputation, and inspired countless fighters across the continent.
Kubanza’s departure now opens up a dynamic new chapter for BRAVE CF’s super welterweight division. Luiz Cado remains the reigning champion and, with the top contender no longer in the picture, the race for the next title challenger is wide open. Number two-ranked Alex Lohore, who proudly represents the Ivory Coast, now has a clear path to make his case for a shot at Cado’s crown. Standing right behind him is Kamal Magomedov at number three, with Zagid Gaidarov and Rami Hamed rounding out the top five and keeping the competition fierce.
This shake-up promises to inject even more excitement into a division already known for its high-level talent and unpredictable battles. African MMA fans, in particular, will be watching closely to see if Lohore can seize this opportunity and bring another African flag to the forefront of BRAVE CF championship contention.
As for Kubanza, the entire BRAVE CF family has extended its heartfelt gratitude for his time with the promotion and wished him success as he chases new horizons. ‘King Kong’ will always be remembered as one of the brightest talents to have risen through BRAVE CF, and always a proud representative of African MMA’s unstoppable rise on the international stage.
