BRAVE Combat Federation is set for a historic night as reigning Heavyweight World Champion Pavel “The Experiment” Dailidko defends his title against France’s Gregory “Robson” Robinet in the main event of BRAVE CF 99 on Saturday, October 18, at Twinsbet Arena in Vilnius.
In partnership with Unique & Talented Martial Artists (UTMA), the event marks the promotion’s first-ever show in Lithuania, making the country the 38th nation to host a BRAVE CF event.
“This moment means everything to me,” Dailidko said. “To defend my World Title in Lithuania, in front of my people, is truly special. I am proud to carry the flag for my country on the global stage, and I promise to give the performance of my life on October 18.”
Robinet, who will challenge for the belt, sees the fight as the pinnacle of his career. “This is the opportunity every fighter dreams of,” he said. “I’ve worked hard for years, and now I get to compete for a World Championship on one of the biggest stages in the sport. To challenge for the title in Lithuania adds even more fire, and I’m ready to shock the world and bring that belt back to France.”
Dailidko enters the bout with a 10–2 record, with all 10 of his victories coming by stoppage. Since joining the promotion in 2022, the Lithuanian knockout artist has won six of his seven fights, building a reputation as one of the most dangerous finishers in the division. His crowning moment came at BRAVE CF 94 in May, when he stopped Odie Delaney in the second round to become the inaugural heavyweight champion.
Robinet, a veteran of the European circuit, holds an 8–4 record and has competed professionally since 2016. His most recent win — a second-round TKO — earned him his first world title opportunity.
With Dailidko defending his title on home soil and Robinet looking to score the upset, BRAVE CF 99 is set to deliver a high-stakes heavyweight clash filled with national pride and championship ambitions.
