MMA – BRAVE Combat Federation (BRAVE CF) is set to ignite Slovenia once again as it rolls out a stacked card for BRAVE CF 102, taking place on Sunday at Hala Tivoli in Ljubljana.
The upcoming extravaganza marks the promotion’s sixth visit to Slovenia in partnership with World Freefight Challenge (WFC).
It arrives on the heels of the milestone BRAVE 100 and BRAVE CF 101: KHK Legacy II, continuing the legacy-building momentum this November.
BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid stated: “For BRAVE CF 102, we wanted more than just exciting fights. We wanted a card that truly honours Slovenia and our fans worldwide.
“With Miha Frlic defending local pride, rising stars like Marina Spasic ready to shine, and outstanding talent from across the globe, this card is designed to deliver history-making moments.
“We’re hosting another show that will resonate long after the final bell. This is BRAVE CF at its boldest and fiercest.”
At the top of the bill, Slovenia’s own and number two-ranked contender Frlic squares off against number one-ranked contender Patryk “The Polish Viking” Dubiela of Poland in a decisive heavyweight showdown.
The winner of this explosive clash could secure the next shot at reigning BRAVE CF heavyweight world champion Pavel “The Experiment” Dailidko, raising the stakes even higher for both contenders.
In the co-headliner, Serbian breakout talent Spasic, nicknamed “Maki Beki”, collides with Russia’s relentless Marina “Armata” Merchuk in an intriguing women’s strawweight battle that promises speed, grit, and nonstop action.
Adding further depth to the slate, the match line-up includes numerous rising forces from the region and beyond, with Slovenian standout Jan Berus, the tenacious David Forster, and local favourite Domen Drnovsek joining a powerful roster.
