David Forster’s Journey from Vendor to BRAVE CF 96 Spotlight

Before the cheers, cameras, and cage doors, David Forster was just another hardworking face at sporting events across Slovenia—selling hotdogs and popcorn to the very fans he now inspires. At BRAVE CF 96 on June 7, Forster steps into the spotlight as he fights on the biggest stage in Slovenian MMA history.

The road hasn’t been easy. After earning a gutsy win at BRAVE CF 70, Forster stumbled with two consecutive losses at BRAVE CF 79 and BRAVE CF 81. But adversity only fueled his fire. Fighting once again in his hometown of Ljubljana, Forster seeks redemption and revival.

Standing opposite him is Kristjan Tõniste, the undefeated Estonian prospect who made a statement with a dominant decision victory over Slovenian grappler Domen Drnovšek at BRAVE CF 81. Now, Tõniste looks to continue his climb up the Super Lightweight ladder.

But for Forster, this is more than a fight—it’s a symbol of how far he’s come. From stadium sidelines to center stage, his journey to BRAVE CF 96 is a testament to perseverance, passion, and national pride.
