The energy was electric at the official BRAVE CF 94 face-offs, as fighters from 14 countries stepped up one last time before entering the cage on Saturday, May 17. From cold glares to heated verbal battles, the Arena de Genève served as a preview for what promises to be one of the most memorable nights in BRAVE CF history.
Calm Before the Collision: Dailidko vs Delaney
In the night’s main event, Heavyweight World Champion Pavel Dailidko and undefeated challenger Odie Delaney faced off with quiet intensity. The two giants exchanged no words, but their expressions were more than enough. The stillness of the moment hinted at the storm brewing ahead. Dailidko looks to defend his title for the first time, while Delaney aims to capture gold in just his second BRAVE CF bout.
Tension Boils: Lapilus vs Hugo
The co-main event saw Damien Lapilus and Brazilian submission ace Victor Hugo lock eyes in a tense staredown. Neither fighter blinked nor broke contact, sending a clear message: this fight will be a war. With Hugo debuting and Lapilus eager to silence the hype, this featherweight clash is dripping with bad blood and purpose.
Ice-Cold War: Arteaga vs Dadaev
One of the most riveting face-offs featured Karol Arteaga and Magomed-Emin Dadaev. With not a word exchanged and their jaws clenched, the pair delivered a chilling moment of pure focus. The lightweight showdown is being called a sleeper pick for Fight of the Night, and their body language suggested nothing short of full-blown violence is on the horizon.
Heated Exchange: Labban vs Ruart
Not all confrontations were quiet. Ahmad Labban and Kevin Ruart nearly escalated beyond control. Their face-off turned into a fiery war of words, with both men needing to be separated by security. Ruart, who missed weight, has even more to prove, while Labban looks to capitalize on that slip and stamp his name with authority.
