BRAVE Combat Federation continues its global conquest of the MMA landscape with BRAVE CF 94, set to take place on May 17, 2025, in Geneva, Switzerland, in partnership with WNC.

In what will be a historic first for the Swiss MMA scene, BRAVE CF becomes the first global MMA promotion to host events in 36 different nations, making this more than just another fight night—it’s a milestone in the sport’s globalization.

Headlining the stacked card is a Heavyweight Championship showdown between Lithuania’s Pavel Dailidko (9-2-0) and undefeated American grappler Odie Delaney (5-0-0). It’s a classic striker-versus-wrestler clash, with Dailidko bringing knockout power and cage aggression against Delaney’s dominant wrestling pedigree and evolving stand-up game.

Dailidko has built a reputation as one of Europe’s most dangerous heavyweights, with a chin of granite and the ability to end fights with a single punch. Meanwhile, Delaney—a former NCAA wrestling standout—has smoothly transitioned into MMA with a perfect record and a growing list of finishes.

“This is the most important fight of my life,” said Dailidko in pre-fight statements. “Winning this belt would mean representing Lithuania on a global platform.”

The co-main event is just as compelling. France’s Damien Lapilus (18-17-2) faces off with Brazil’s Victor Hugo (25-5-0) in a featherweight bout that pits experience against explosiveness. Lapilus, a well-rounded veteran known for his durability and technical striking, faces a dangerous test in Hugo, who represents the new generation of Brazilian MMA with elite grappling and an uncanny knack for fight-ending submissions.

BRAVE CF 94 is part of the organization’s “Year of the BRAVE” campaign—an ambitious effort to showcase world-class MMA talent across multiple continents. With Geneva serving as the latest stop, BRAVE CF cements its place as the most global MMA organization in the world.

Switzerland now joins an elite list of European countries that have hosted BRAVE events, including Northern Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, and Slovenia. Geneva, with its stunning backdrop and emerging MMA scene, promises to deliver both local flavor and international flair.

As BRAVE CF 94 nears, fans can expect a mix of high-stakes action, national pride, and global representation. This event won’t just be a spectacle—it’s the next chapter in BRAVE CF’s mission to elevate MMA as a worldwide sport.
