Pavel Dailidko needed just over a minute to defend his BRAVE CF Heavyweight World Championship, stopping hometown challenger Miha Frlic in the main event of BRAVE CF 106 on Saturday at Hala Tivoli.
The Lithuanian champion weathered an early offensive burst from Frlic before finding his range. Dailidko landed a clean right hand that dropped the Slovenian to the canvas and quickly followed up with a series of hammerfists. The referee stepped in at 1:20 of the opening round, securing another emphatic title defense for “The Experiment.”
In the co-main event, Mohamed Said Maalem captured the BRAVE CF Light Heavyweight World Championship with a fourth-round stoppage victory over Erko Jun in their rematch.
Jun enjoyed success early with leg kicks and spinning attacks, but Said Maalem gradually turned the tide with his wrestling and top control. The Swiss-Algerian contender broke through in the fourth round, hurting the defending champion before finishing the fight with ground-and-pound at the 2:19 mark to claim the title.
Elsewhere on the card, Marina Merchuk scored one of the biggest upsets of the night, defeating hometown favorite and top-ranked strawweight contender Monika Kučinič by split decision.
Lasha Abramishvili continued his unbeaten run in BRAVE CF competition with a unanimous decision victory over Brice Picaud in a catchweight contest, while Amil Tutić earned a unanimous decision win over rival David Forster to level their rivalry.
The preliminary card featured several standout finishes. Germany's Timon Huss recorded a 50-second knockout of Domen Vergles, while Edin Ramdedovic submitted Sándor Polik with a guillotine choke in the second round. Maja Drnovšek added another victory to her résumé with a first-round arm-triangle choke submission against Wiktoria Wojciechowska.
The event marked BRAVE Combat Federation's seventh visit to Slovenia and featured two world title bouts in front of a passionate crowd at Hala Tivoli.
