At the age of 40, Makovsky is determined to snap a two-fight losing streak as he sets his sights on a showdown with Flavio de Queiroz in the heart of Colombia. A former Bellator world champion, Makovsky boasts all the necessary attributes to thrive within the BRAVE Combat Federation, thanks to his background as a former Division I wrestler.

Hailing from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Makovsky emerged from a talented family, where his parents supported his wrestling journey alongside his sister's pursuit of gymnastics. While their initial reservations about his involvement in hand-to-hand combat were apparent, Makovsky's passion for martial arts movies fueled his determination to follow a similar path.

He embarked on his journey by enrolling in a taekwondo class, progressing through the ranks of belts, and recognizing the need to delve deeper into the world of fighting.

Makovsky has amassed a wealth of experience across various major promotions, yet he now faces a significant hurdle to overcome.
