Former BRAVE CF Super Welterweight champion Marcin Bandel may not be stepping into the cage at BRAVE CF 81, but his impact on Polish MMA will take center stage at the event in Slovenia.
Hailing from Lodz, Poland, Marcin Bandel stands as one of the most prominent figures in the history of BRAVE Combat Federation. Debuting in BRAVE CF 54 on home soil, Bandel swiftly rose to prominence in the Super Welterweight division, culminating in his title victory at BRAVE CF 63 in 2022, where he outclassed Ismail Naurdiev. This historic achievement has sparked a new era of MMA enthusiasm in Poland, with Lodz emerging as a hub for aspiring fighters.
One such fighter carrying the torch for Lodz is Sylwia Juśkiewicz, set to make her BRAVE CF debut against Monika Kučinič at BRAVE CF 81. Hailing from Bandel's hometown, Juśkiewicz returns to MMA after a hiatus of nearly three years, eager to follow in the footsteps of her esteemed fellow Lodz native.
Similarly, Polish Heavyweight Patryk Dubiela shares a connection with Bandel as his trainer, adding extra significance to his matchup against Croatia's Agron Smakici at BRAVE CF 81. With Bandel's guidance, Dubiela faces a formidable opponent in Smakici, a Boxer-turned-MMA fighter with ties to renowned names like Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.
Fueled by Bandel's legacy, Juśkiewicz and Dubiela embody the spirit of Lodz and Poland as they step into the BRAVE CF arena. Their presence signifies a new chapter in Polish MMA, promising an exciting showcase of talent and determination at BRAVE CF 81.
