MMA – BRAVE Combat Federation (BRAVE CF), the world’s fastest-growing and most global mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation, is set to make history once again as it brings the fifth edition of BRAVE International Combat Week (BICW) to Georgia later this week.
From Saturday to October 3, the capital city of Tbilisi will transform into the epicentre of combat sports excellence, staging one of the most prestigious and action-packed weeks in MMA.
In partnership with the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF), BRAVE CF will deliver a celebration of courage, skill, and international unity. For the first time ever, Georgia joins the ranks of Bahrain, Serbia, Colombia, and Pakistan as hosts of the world-renowned BICW.
“BRAVE International Combat Week is more than just an event; it’s a global movement that unites athletes, fans, and nations through the spirit of MMA,” said BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid. “We are proud to bring this celebration to Georgia, a country with a rich fighting tradition and passionate supporters.”
Among the week’s highlights will be the 2025 IMMAF World Championships, showcasing the crème de la crème of the amateur MMA circuit as they compete for pride and glory. The occasion is expected to draw the eyes of the combat sports world to Tbilisi, further solidifying Georgia’s rising reputation in the fight game.
The week will culminate on October 3, with BRAVE CF: Georgia vs the World, held in partnership with Georgian Fighting Championship (GFC) at the Tbilisi New Sports Palace. The historic night will see Georgia’s finest homegrown warriors clash against elite mixed martial artists from across the globe, igniting a showdown of national pride versus international power.
This blockbuster card underscores 2025 as the “Year of the BRAVE”. With Georgia becoming the 37th nation to host a BRAVE CF mega-show, the promotion continues to expand its unrivalled reach across continents, delivering opportunities for athletes and unforgettable experiences for fans.
