Slovenia’s own Monika “The Pitbull” Kučinič electrified the crowd at Hala Tivoli with a statement-making TKO victory over Sofiia Bagishvili in their heated Strawweight rematch at BRAVE CF 96.
From the opening bell, Kučinič fought with urgency and precision, pushing the pace and applying constant pressure. Backed by a thunderous home crowd, she showcased sharp striking and cage control, outclassing Bagishvili in nearly every exchange.
Determined to settle the score after their previous encounter, Kučinič never let off the gas. The decisive moment came late in Round 3, when she landed a vicious liver shot that visibly hurt Bagishvili. Sensing the end, Kučinič swarmed with a flurry of strikes, forcing the referee to call a stop at 4:55 of the final round.
The TKO win marked the most dominant performance of Kučinič’s career — not only avenging her past but also positioning her as one of BRAVE CF’s most dangerous strawweight contenders. With the Slovenian crowd fully behind her, Monika Kučinič now sets her sights on a potential title run on home soil.
