BRAVE CF 71: Marcin Bandel and Kamal Magomedov to fight for the title

26 May 2023

The 71st edition of BRAVE Combat Federation promises an electrifying main event. Coming back to its home in the Kingdom of Bahrain on June 19, BRAVE Combat Federation will present BRAVE CF 71. The highly anticipated event will feature Super Welterweight world champion Marcin Bandel defending his 175-pound title against the undefeated Russian sensation Kamal Magomedov.

In his previous bout at BRAVE CF 63, Marcin 'Bomba' Bandel astounded the world by knocking down the heavily favored Ismail Naurdiev and subsequently submitting 'The Austrian Wonderboy' in the main event. This victory allowed Bandel to secure the vacant Super Welterweight crown.

Now hailed as the top-ranked 175-pounder in mixed martial arts, Marcin 'Bomba' Bandel aims to safeguard his title against Kamal Magomedov, a fighter yet to experience defeat in his professional career. Magomedov, known for his finishing prowess, boasts an impressive record of nine out of ten wins coming by way of knockout, technical knockout, or submission. Having triumphed in the Titan FC and with an eye on adding the prestigious BRAVE CF world title to his accolades, Magomedov is a force to be reckoned with.
