Indian Judo Royalty 8-Time National Champ Suchika Tariyal Set for BRAVE CF 104

Indian combat sports continues its rapid rise on the global stage, and Suchika Tariyal is the latest athlete ready to carry the Indian flag forward. The undefeated Indian fighter will represent the country at BRAVE CF 104, scheduled to take place in Serbia on 14th  February 2026, marking another major moment for Indian MMA in 2025.

Tariyal enters the bout with a perfect 2-0 professional MMA record, but her reputation was forged long before she stepped into the cage. An eight-time Judo National Champion of India, she is also a Commonwealth and South Asia Games Judo Champion, making her one of the most accomplished grapplers ever to transition into Indian MMA.

Adding to her elite pedigree, Tariyal captured gold at the 2024 JJIF Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championship, underlining her dominance on the mat and her readiness for the evolving demands of mixed martial arts. She represents Soma Fight Club and Lion War Club, Haryana, two gyms that have steadily built a reputation for producing high-level combat athletes.

At BRAVE CF 104, Tariyal will face Kinga Jendrasik of Poland in the opening bout of the fight night. The matchup places the Indian judoka against a European opponent on neutral ground, offering an immediate test of composure, skill, and adaptability at the international level.

Tariyal’s rise is part of a broader surge in Indian MMA. She is emerging alongside fellow Indian standouts Owais Yakoob (5-1-0) and Aarthi Khatri (6-1-0), both of whom secured significant victories at BRAVE CF in 2025. Together, the trio represents a confident new wave of Indian fighters making their presence felt in one of the world’s fastest-growing MMA promotions.

For Tariyal, the transition from elite judo to professional MMA has been seamless. Her clinch control, balance, and submission awareness have already become defining features of her young MMA career. Coaches and analysts see her as a long-term contender, particularly in a division where high-level grappling remains a decisive advantage. Tariyal’s inclusion on the BRAVE CF 104 card further highlights the promotion’s growing role in shaping India’s MMA future.
