Five Jaw-Dropping Finishes That Lit Up BRAVE CF 104

BRAVE Combat Federation turned up the heat in Belgrade, Serbia, as BRAVE CF 104 delivered a fight card packed with drama, power, and statement performances inside the Aleksandar Nikolić Hall. Across 12 bouts, fighters wasted little time leaving their mark, producing highlight-reel endings that instantly caught the attention of the global MMA community.

Here’s a fresh look at the five finishes that stole the spotlight.

Borislav Nikolić

The Serbian faithful had their hero moment when Bantamweight world champion Borislav Nikolić stepped into a 64 kg catchweight contest against Portugal’s Matheus Malta.

Malta attempted to dictate terms early, repeatedly hunting for takedowns and disrupting Nikolić’s rhythm. But as the minutes passed, the champion’s composure began to shine through.

By the second round, Nikolić’s boxing was flowing. Crisp combinations found their target, and one clean connection sealed the deal — a walk-off knockout that sent the Belgrade crowd into a frenzy. It was a homecoming worthy of a champion.

Miha Frlic

In the co-main event, Slovenia’s Miha Frlic made his intentions crystal clear. Facing Italy’s Samuele Di Guardo, the No. 2 ranked heavyweight wasted no time asserting dominance.

A powerful right hand inside the opening minute sent Di Guardo to the canvas. Frlic followed with relentless ground-and-pound, mixing heavy strikes and sharp elbows until the referee had no choice but to step in.

The emphatic stoppage further strengthens Frlic’s case for a showdown with reigning heavyweight champion Pavel “The Experiment” Dailidko.

Genadi Jorjoliani

Every event needs a shocker — and Genadi Jorjoliani delivered exactly that.

Tasked with welcoming undefeated Russian heavyweight Danylo Voievodkin to BRAVE CF, the Georgian brawler flipped the script. From the outset, he marched forward, applying suffocating pressure that unsettled his opponent.

Then came the turning point: a thunderous right hook that dropped Voievodkin. A relentless follow-up barrage forced the stoppage, sealing the biggest upset of the night.

Kurban Idrisov

Bahrain’s Kurban Idrisov made sure his BRAVE CF debut would not go unnoticed. Taking on Belarusian veteran Artem Buloychik at 73 kg catchweight, Idrisov showcased timing and explosiveness beyond his experience.

A perfectly placed flying knee stunned Buloychik. Moments later, a high kick compounded the damage. With his opponent pinned against the fence, Idrisov unloaded a barrage of punches that brought a swift end to the contest.

It was a statement debut from the Team KHK prospect.

Nikola Todorović

Known primarily for his elite kickboxing pedigree, Serbia’s Nikola Todorović showed a different dimension of his game in the super welterweight division.

After softening Moldova’s Constantin Cretu with sharp striking exchanges, Todorović capitalized on a takedown attempt. As they hit the mat, he wrapped up a tight guillotine choke and squeezed until the tap came in the opening round.

The submission victory underlined his evolution as a complete mixed martial artist — and capped off one of the slickest finishes of the evening.
