Vadim Kutsyi calls out Marcin Bandel after KO win in BRAVE CF 68

22 December 2022

Prior to calling out the winner, Marcin Bandel, during BRAVE CF 68 this past weekend in Düsseldorf, Germany, Vadim Kutsyi surprised the crowd.

Before confronting the champion, Bandel, the Belarusian staged the ideal coming-out party by putting on a show-stopping performance to TKO former number-one contender Ismail Naurdiev in the first round of their Super Welterweight co-main event.

“Hey, Marcin. Where are you? I wait (for) you!,” said Kutsyi after his second BRAVE Combat Federation win. ‘’I’m very tired, there was excitement before the fight. But I’m very happy to be here, and to win such a victory in the co-main event. I hadn an idea that today I was going to prove that odds are just numbers, and real fighters enter the cage and fight’’.

Early on, Austria's Naurdiev took control thanks to tremendous leg attacks that injured his opponent. Kutsyi struggled to balance off his rear foot and it appeared like his leg was weakened. That worked to Naurdiev's advantage as he shook Kutsyi, who backed up against the BRAVE CF cage before unleashing a devastating right hook that downed Naurdiev right away.

Kutsyi capitalised on the situation and stopped a ground-and-pound assault. The referee stopped the bout in the first round because Naurdiev was unable to respond, and Kutsyi had given the BRAVE CF Super Welterweight division a warning.

Kutsyi, who entered this battle unranked, is now riding a 10-fight winning streak. After that convincing victory, he is prepared to advance into the 175-pound division.
