MMA – BRAVE Combat Federation (BRAVE CF), the world’s fastest-growing and most international mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation, is set to make a highly anticipated return to Kazakhstan with BRAVE CF 105, scheduled for May 31, at the iconic Baluan Sholak Sports Palace in Almaty.
BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid commented: “Returning to Kazakhstan is something we are truly excited about. This country has consistently produced elite-level mixed martial artists with incredible potential.
“Our goal is to continue exploring that talent pool and provide a platform where deserving athletes can shine and establish themselves on the global stage.
“Kazakhstan remains a key destination in our vision for the sport.”
In partnership with the Alash Pride League, BRAVE CF 105 marks the promotion’s fourth event in Kazakhstan, reaffirming its commitment to a nation that has become a cornerstone of its international expansion since its first visit in 2017.
The collaboration aims to further elevate the local scene while connecting it to the broader global MMA landscape.
The event also serves as BRAVE CF’s return to the region following BRAVE CF 103 in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, in December of 2025, highlighting the organisation’s continued presence across Central Asia while keeping Kazakhstan at the forefront.
The upcoming extravaganza in Almaty is expected to feature a solid lineup of athletes from Kazakhstan and neighboring nations, with local heroes potentially taking center stage.
Former BRAVE CF world title contender Rauan ‘Shymyr’ Bekbolat and top-ranked flyweight contender Dias ‘Son of the Steppes’ Yerengaipov are among the names who could compete in front of a passionate home crowd.
With bout announcements set to be revealed in the coming weeks, BRAVE CF 105 is shaping up to be a landmark night that celebrates Kazakhstan’s deep-rooted martial arts culture, while delivering elite-level competition inside the cage.
