Mohamed "L’Ambiance" Said Maalem returns to the spotlight on Saturday, July 12, when he headlines BRAVE CF 97 against Bulgaria’s Kaloyan Kolev at the Burgas Arena in a high-stakes light heavyweight showdown.
The Algerian veteran enters the BRAVE Combat Federation cage riding a wave of momentum with back-to-back victories, holding a professional record of 14 wins. Currently ranked No. 2 in the light heavyweight division, Said Maalem aims to solidify his position as the top contender for the BRAVE CF Light Heavyweight World Title.
This main event marks a critical point in Said Maalem’s resurgence, as he looks to earn a long-awaited title shot and reestablish himself among the elite at 205 pounds. Fighting out of Switzerland while proudly representing Algeria, he brings a fierce striking style and seasoned fight IQ to one of BRAVE CF’s most competitive divisions.
He will face hometown favorite Kaloyan Kolev, a gritty and durable Bulgarian fighter set to compete in front of a supportive home crowd. Despite the local advantage, Said Maalem has built a career on quieting home arenas and derailing rising contenders — and he plans to do just that in Burgas.
A win at BRAVE CF 97 would not only extend his current streak to three but also make a strong case for a title challenge against reigning champion Erko Jun.
