BRAVE Combat Federation is making its return to Bulgaria for BRAVE CF 97, with the city of Burgas hosting a stacked night of elite MMA action. This event is part of the promotion’s ongoing “Year of the BRAVE” campaign, marking BRAVE CF’s second appearance in Bulgaria and further asserting its dominance across the European MMA circuit.
Jack Grant, the English submission specialist, is once again ready to bring the chaos. After stealing the spotlight at BRAVE CF 80 with a last-second armbar against Ahmad Labban, Grant comes into BRAVE CF 97 with serious momentum and a warning to the Super Welterweight division. Representing Grant Combat Academy, he boasts a 95% finish rate, backed by black belts in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Luta Livre.

Dangerous Opponent Awaits in Kubanza
Facing him will be Eliezer Kubanza, an undefeated knockout artist whose finishing power has turned heads across the global scene. While Kubanza is known for his explosive striking, Grant’s versatility makes him a live threat from anywhere in the cage. The Englishman’s ability to transition from crisp striking to tight submissions means Kubanza will need to be perfect to stay undefeated.
This fight promises to be one of the highlights of BRAVE CF 97 as Grant eyes another finish to break into title contention. With Super Welterweight gold in his sights, a statement win could propel him toward the division’s top tier.
BRAVE CF 97 Strengthens Europe Presence
The event in Burgas is part of BRAVE CF’s continued expansion throughout Europe, where it now holds the distinction of being the most hosted MMA promotion on the continent. With its global reach and diverse roster, BRAVE CF continues to bring international talent to the spotlight, giving athletes like Grant and Kubanza a world-class platform.
BRAVE CF 97 will showcase not only top-tier MMA but also the federation’s commitment to growing the sport in new markets. With its mix of elite fighters, rising stars, and thrilling matchups, the event underscores why BRAVE CF remains one of the fastest-growing promotions in combat sports.
