MMA – MIHA Frlic believes the time for waiting is over.
Following another dominant performance inside the BRAVE Combat Federation cage, the Slovenian powerhouse is confident that he has earned the next shot at Pavel ‘The Experiment’ Dailidko’s BRAVE CF Heavyweight World Championship.
Frlic extended his impressive run on the global stage this past February, demolishing Italy’s Samuele ‘Tank’ Di Guardo in less than a round in the co-main event of BRAVE CF 104.
Competing in front of a passionate crowd at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in Belgrade, Serbia, Frlic delivered a statement victory that reinforced his position as the most dangerous contender in the division.
From the opening exchange, Frlic wasted no time asserting his dominance. He floored Di Guardo with a thunderous right cross that landed flush on the chin.
Once the fight hit the canvas, he unleashed relentless ground-and-pound, maintaining suffocating pressure before sealing the finish with a solid barrage of elbows that forced the referee to step in.
The emphatic stoppage improved Frlic’s professional record to 7-0-1, including four victories under the promotion’s banner.
More importantly, it propelled him to the number one contender spot in the heavyweight rankings.
Reflecting on his latest performance, Frlic made it clear that every appearance inside the cage is part of a larger mission.
“I wanted to show complete dominance and prove that I belong at the very top,” he said. “I trained to finish the fight early, and everything worked exactly as we prepared. This performance showed the level I am operating at right now.”
With momentum firmly on his side, Frlic believes his resume now speaks for itself and that his next bout should come with world championship stakes against Dailidko.
“I truly believe I have done enough to fight for the world title next,” he stated. “I am undefeated in BRAVE CF, I finish fights, and I keep improving every time. I respect Pavel, but I know I am ready to challenge him and become the heavyweight world champion.”
Still, Frlic remains prepared for any path the organisation chooses. Confident in his abilities, he insists that no opponent can slow his ascent towards gold.
“If they want me to prove it again, I will do it again,” he declared. “Give me anyone, anytime. I will keep winning and finishing fights until there is no doubt left that I am the rightful contender.”
