Miha Frlic Delivers Statement Knockout Over Kamali in Heavyweight Battle at BRAVE CF 96
From the opening seconds of the bout, Frlic came out with purpose and aggression, using his superior wrestling to impose his will on Kamali. Pressuring early and often, landing brutal ground-and-pound and opening a cut that left the Bangladeshi fighter bloodied and struggling to find his rhythm. The local crowd surged with energy, nearly witnessing a finish before the end of Round 1 But just as the narrative seemed written, Kamali turned the page in Round 2 with a heavy right hand that briefly rocked Frlic.
For a moment, the arena held its breath. Then came the response—a swift takedown, clinch control, and yet more punishing offense from the Slovenian. Even as Kamali rallied to end the round on top, Frlic had already set the tone.
Then came Round 3. Frlic, feeding off the crowd's energy, launched into a final sequence that would seal his legacy in Slovenian MMA. A perfectly timed flurry landed flush, sending Kamali crashing to the canvas as the arena erupted in celebration. It was not just a win—it was a moment.
With the victory, Miha Frlic remains undefeated and takes a major step forward in the BRAVE CF heavyweight division. But more than that, he gave Slovenia something special: a knockout to remember, a flag planted proudly in the center of the BRAVE CF cage, and a reminder that the next great heavyweight might just be coming out of Ljubljana.

Pogacar into yellow as Evenepoel wins Tour de France time trial
rider Remco Evenepoel won the fifth stage of the Tour de France yesterday, a 33km time trial around Caen that saw Slovenian rider Tadej Pogacar take the yellow jersey from Mathieu van der Poel. World and Olympic champion Evenepoel completed the course in 36min 42sec at a blistering average speed of 54 km/h. He finished 16 seconds quicker than Pogacar with the Italian Edoardo Affini 33sec off the stage lead in third. Pogacar now leads the general classification with a 42sec advantage over Evenepoel who collected his second stage win on the Tour de France, having triumphed in the time trial in Gevrey-Chambertin last year on his debut in the Grande Boucle. 'I knew I had a good chance but, of course, the legs still have to be there and everything has to go to plan,' said Evenepoel whose Soudal Quick-Step team-mate Tim Merlier won stage 3 two days ago. 'In the end I think it was pretty good. I didn't really feel like I could go any faster, so I think in general I'm happy with the result. 'It's a second stage win for our team, it's super nice.' Two-time winner Jonas Vingegaard, who began the day just 8sec behind the yellow jersey Van der Poel, had a poor day as the Dane could only finish 13th in the stage -- 1min 21sec behind Evenepoel -- to slip to 1min 13sec behind Pogacar in the new standings. He drops to fourth overall with local rider Kevin Vauquelin moving up to third after a hugely-impressive ride that saw him finish fifth on the day. 'I'm over the moon, really,' said an emotional Vauquelin.

Pogacar ‘respects' Vingegaard in Tour de France rivalry
AFP | Lille Defending champion Tadej Pogacar insisted he had every respect for his great Tour de France rival Jonas Vingegaard ahead of Saturday's opening stage in Lille. The 26-year-old Slovenian won the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and world title in 2024 and is hot favourite again here. Speaking at the Lille Opera House on Thursday the Team UAE rider laughed off suggestions of bitterness, when asked about harsh words between the two in previous races. 'Look in the heat of the moment you can maybe scream something at someone,' said Pogacar, dressed in his world champion rainbow shirt. Pogacar won the Tour in 2020 and again in 2021, when Vingegaard was second. The Dane won in 2022 and 2023, with the Slovenian runner up both times. Pogacar, who rides for Team UAE, recaptured the title last year with Vingegaard, of the powerful Visma squad, second. 'The last five years have been intense between me and Jonas,' Pogacar said. 'It's a great competition and rivalry and it will be interesting to see if the title changes hands again.' 'I'm looking forwards to taking on Jonas again. It's going to be great for people on television and along the roadsides.'
