Slovenia return turned into a massive success for BRAVE Combat Federation

26 April 2023

When BRAVE Combat Federation's promotion visited Ljubljana, Slovenia, for BRAVE CF 70 last Sunday, it attracted the attention of the sporting world to Central Europe. This past weekend, Slovenia made history by hosting BRAVE CF's 20th European tournament since June 2018 — a significant milestone in the group's brief seven-year history. BRAVE CF 70 was jointly promoted by WFC, the top regional organisation that made a comeback with WFC 25.

With a week-long build-up of mixed martial arts activities, sixteen of the best professional fighters in the world interacted with fans and displayed their skills in venues throughout the city before BRAVE CF turned up the heat with a live open workout show in Aleja Mall in Ljubljana, creating a buzz on the ground zero and rebranding Slovenia's capital.

After Germany became the 28th country to host a BRAVE CF event just one year ago, BRAVE Combat Federation solidified its position as the most international MMA promoter. The Bahrain-born brand has established itself as the top-ranked organisation in the "Peninsula of Peninsulas" in addition to the 20 BRAVE CF events that have taken place in Europe thus far. It has also expanded high-level MMA productions into eleven countries on the continent, holding the largest market share.

Regional MMA promotions, the development of athletes, and the bolstering of businesses in various European regions have all been a result of the BRAVE Combat Federation as international spectators rushed to the area to watch the fastest-growing sport on the planet. When the IMMAF World Championships and BRAVE CF 69 debuted earlier this year as part of the BRAVE Serbia International Combat Week, BRAVE CF left an enormous impression on the Balkan region.

The greatest combat sports festival in Europe attracted over 550 athletes from over 60 nations, making the event a smashing success. The week-long fight festival that produced hundreds of stars had MMA fans cross the border to attend, which significantly affected Serbia's economy. In Ljubljana this past week, BRAVE CF had a comparable effect as more professional talents shone on the most popular MMA platform.

For the well-received BRAVE CF 34 concert in January 2020, BRAVE CF made its first trip to Slovenia. After a successful event in the sold-out Hala Tivoli Arena where 16 athletes from 12 nations competed, BRAVE CF's second trip to the nation will now have a lasting impact on the area. BRAVE CF broke new ground by highlighting the region's MMA talent and overall sporting infrastructure.
