Miha Frlic Delivers Statement Knockout Over Kamali in Heavyweight Battle at BRAVE CF 96
Slovenian powerhouse Miha Frlic (5-0-1) gave his home fans everything they came for at BRAVE CF 96, delivering a spectacular third-round knockout victory over Shah Kamali (4-1-0) in a hard-hitting heavyweight showdown at Ljubljana's Hala Tivoli. 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.

Marciano Ferreira makes statement at BRAVE CF 96 with dominant win, eyes flyweight gold
Brazilian flyweight contender Marciano Ferreira delivered a performance to remember at BRAVE CF 96, scoring a commanding unanimous decision victory over Georgia's powerhouse Bidzina Gavashelishvili in a high-stakes bout that could reshape the division's title picture. Ferreira, who first made waves with a stunning KO win over Edilceu Alves at BRAVE CF 78, bounced back in a big way after his setback against Kazakhstan's Dias Yerengaipov at BRAVE CF 91. His calculated and clinical display against Gavashelishvili not only showcased his evolution as a mixed martial artist but also re-established him as a serious threat in BRAVE Combat Federation's flyweight ranks. Speaking after the fight, Ferreira didn't hold back. 'I've got a message for everyone in the division — there's a new champ here, and his name is Marciano Ferreira,' said the rising star. He then directly addressed the BRAVE CF brass: 'So, President — will you give Mokaev a shot? Or are you going to book the rematch with Dias for the belt in Bahrain?' Ferreira ended his fiery postfight interview with a bold challenge to top flyweight contender Muhammad Mokaev, calling for a title fight and urging him not to run from the division's new rising force. With his latest performance, Ferreira has reignited his campaign for flyweight gold and made it clear he's ready to take on all challengers. As BRAVE CF continues its 'Year of the BRAVE' campaign, the flyweight division may soon have a new name leading the charge — and it just might be Marciano Ferreira.
