23 May 2024

BRAVE Combat Federation has announced the fight card for its highly anticipated debut event in the Netherlands, promising an electrifying night for MMA enthusiasts both locally and globally. BRAVE CF 83, in collaboration with Enfusion’s MMA brand ECE, will take place on May 25 in Alkmaar, Netherlands. This event marks the third of the year and the second installment of the 2024 Europe Tour for BRAVE Combat Federation.

This milestone event will see BRAVE Combat Federation becoming the most-hosted MMA organization in Europe, with events held in 14 European nations. Additionally, it will break its own world record as the most-hosted MMA organization globally, with the Netherlands becoming the 32nd country to host a BRAVE CF event.

Headlining the historic event, former Super Welterweight champion Marcin Bandel returns to the BRAVE CF cage to face European MMA superstar Alex Lohoré. Bandel, seeking redemption after his title loss at BRAVE CF 77, aims to reestablish his dominance in the division. Lohoré, making his BRAVE CF debut, is eager to demonstrate his championship credentials within the organization’s visionary Super Welterweight division.

The co-main event features a Middleweight clash between two promotional debutants: Suriname’s Noach Blyden and Poland’s Adrian Gralak. Blyden, renowned for his kickboxing skills, enters BRAVE CF on a three-fight winning streak. Meanwhile, Gralak, a Polish grappling champion, looks to build on his recent regional circuit success and add another victory to his professional MMA record.

Former Kickboxing and Muay Thai world champion Youssef Boughanem makes his BRAVE CF debut against local favorite Anando Amoksi in a Lightweight showdown. Boughanem, fresh off a knockout victory in his MMA debut, aims to continue his winning streak, while Amoksi looks to capitalize on his home advantage.

In a compelling Bantamweight matchup, Muhammad Idrisov returns to BRAVE CF following a significant regional win, to face Brice Picaud. Idrisov seeks to rebound from his loss to Bidzina Gavashelishvili at BRAVE CF 72, while Picaud, riding a two-fight winning streak, is eager to secure his first victory under the BRAVE CF banner after a three-year hiatus.

Chequina Noso Pedro, after his promotional debut at BRAVE CF 79, aims for his second consecutive win in BRAVE CF as he takes on undefeated Austrian prospect Ali Isajew in a Super Welterweight bout.

The event also features a Light Heavyweight showdown between Nills Van Noord and Guilherme Cadena, with both fighters looking to make a strong first impression at BRAVE Combat Federation.
