BRAVE CF 78: Title Fight to Headline the event in Brazil

29 November 2023

In a much-anticipated return to Brazilian soil, BRAVE Combat Federation is gearing up for an electrifying evening of mixed martial arts with the upcoming BRAVE CF 78: Victorious, taking place on December 7 in Fortaleza. The event, presented in association with Victorious Fighting Entertainment, promises fight fans a riveting main event featuring the Flyweight title showdown between Velimurad Alkhasov and Edilceu Alves.

Velimurad Alkhasov, eager to break the BRAVE CF Flyweight curse that began in 2018, faces Edilceu Alves in a clash that reignites the fierce rivalry between Russian and Brazilian fighters. Alkhasov's journey to the title has been marked by triumphs, including a five-round victory over Marcel Adur, but missing weight denied him the crown. Now, facing Capoeira master Edilceu Alves, Alkhasov seeks redemption and the chance to claim the inaugural Flyweight title.

In the co-main event, fans can expect a battle of Super Lightweights as German-Brazilian Joilton Lutterbach squares off against former BRAVE CF world champion Luan Santiago. Santiago, known for his legendary run in the 155-pound division, returns to BRAVE CF with the aim of making an impact in the Super Lightweight category. Meanwhile, Lutterbach, boasting a flawless record in three BRAVE CF appearances, is determined to continue his winning streak and solidify his standing in the promotion.

The event marks Fortaleza's debut as the third Brazilian city to host a BRAVE CF showcase, following successful events in Curitiba and Belo Horizonte. As BRAVE CF continues to expand its global footprint, Brazil stands as a stronghold, with the organization becoming the first to host shows in three distinct cities within the country.

Fight enthusiasts can anticipate a night of high-stakes matchups and intense rivalries at BRAVE CF 78: Victorious, as Fortaleza takes center stage for a memorable evening of world-class MMA action.
