BRAVE Combat Federation made a powerful return to China on April 18 with BRAVE CF 93, held in Zhengzhou in partnership with Youde Fighting Ultimate (YFU). The event ran alongside YFU 83 and brought together elite MMA fighters from eight nations, highlighting BRAVE CF’s continued global expansion.

Following the success of BRAVE CF 84, the promotion reaffirmed its commitment to Asia, further strengthening its reputation as the most internationally active MMA organization, with events now held in 35 countries.

In the main event, Georgia’s Rauli Tutarauli outlasted Kazakhstan’s Olzhas Eskaraev in a pivotal lightweight clash. Eskaraev controlled the first round with strong wrestling, but Tutarauli rebounded in the later rounds with effective clinch work and takedowns. All three judges scored the bout 29-28 in favor of Tutarauli, potentially setting up a rematch with BRAVE CF lightweight champion Abdisalam Kubanychbek.

Tajikistan’s Khurshed Nazarov delivered the night’s most stunning finish, knocking out China’s Keremuaili Maimaitituoheti with a right hook just 17 seconds into the first round.

South Africa’s Luthando “Shorty” Biko secured a second-round TKO against Jinbo Zou, while Kazakhstan’s Rauan Bekbolat finished Zequiduoji with a liver shot in just 84 seconds. Nepal’s Rabindra Dhant also impressed, earning a first-round TKO via ground-and-pound to extend his record to 8-1.
