Nemat Abdrashitov: Unpredictable Featherweight Champion Makes Waves in BRAVE CF

11 October 2023

BRAVE CF Featherweight champion Nemat Abdrashitov continues to be a captivating force in the mixed martial arts world, proving himself as a man full of surprises inside the BRAVE CF cage. His recent unanimous decision victory over former champion Roman Bogatov at BRAVE CF 72 showcased his unpredictability, cementing his status as a unique player in the game and keeping BRAVE Nation fans eagerly anticipating his every move.

Abdrashitov's debut at BRAVE CF 47 marked a turning point in the promotion's history. Facing Anzor Abdulkhozhaev, he found himself in a precarious situation, almost succumbing to Abdulkhozhaev's ninja choke. However, in a stunning reversal, Abdrashitov not only freed himself from the submission but also knocked out his opponent in the second round, adding to his impressive record of seven knockouts and fourteen stoppages.

The Kyrgyz striker continued his dominance with stoppage victories over Alikhon Khasanov and Marcos Vinicius Costa, solidifying his position as the top KO artist in the BRAVE Combat Federation Featherweight division, boasting three wins via KO/TKO.

Abdrashitov's global recognition soared as he travelled with BRAVE CF to Bahrain and Uzbekistan, showcasing his skills and dominance. The prospect of a title fight and the opportunity to become only the second Kyrgyz BRAVE CF world champion became a reality earlier this year when he was slated to face Featherweight king Roman Bogatov.

The highly anticipated match-up at BRAVE CF 72 ignited debates among fans, pitting the grappler prowess of Bogatov against Abdrashitov's striking abilities. The bout, billed as a clash of styles, saw Abdrashitov, known as "the finisher," defy expectations by outlasting the champion in endurance.

In a memorable moment in Riffa, Bahrain, Kyrgyzstan celebrated the ascension of another BRAVE CF champion, following in the footsteps of his friend and training partner, Lightweight champion Abdisalam Kubanychbek. However, Abdrashitov's reign inside the cage was abruptly interrupted as Featherweight contender Omar Solomanov stepped up to face the newly crowned king.
