Monika Kučinič’s ascent in BRAVE Combat Federation has been remarkable, with the Slovenian fighter winning all her bouts under the organization and establishing herself as one of the top female fighters in European MMA. However, her journey has been anything but easy.

At BRAVE CF 88 last Saturday, Kučinič once again showcased her resilience in a grueling match against Italy's Fabiola Pidroni. After dominating much of the first round, Kučinič was caught by a powerful head kick from Pidroni in the closing seconds, landing square on her jaw. Kučinič was visibly shaken but saved by the bell.

Despite the injury, Kučinič continued to fight. She displayed remarkable awareness and toughness, battling through two rounds with a broken jaw and ultimately winning via split decision. The fight was so competitive that it earned a rare mid-event bonus, with BRAVE CF typically awarding bonuses post-fight.

Following the bout, an X-ray confirmed Kučinič had fought with a broken jaw. She was admitted to a local hospital, where she underwent surgery and had two metal plates inserted. Kučinič was released last Wednesday and cleared to return home. Her performance, under such adversity, further cements her status as a rising star in European MMA.
