As BRAVE Combat Federation returns to Burgas, Bulgaria for BRAVE CF 97, one of the most electrifying knockout artists in the Super Welterweight division is ready to make noise again. Eliezer “King Kong” Kubanza, undefeated and undeniably dangerous, brings his devastating power and flawless record back to the BRAVE cage in what could be a defining moment for the Congolese finisher.

A two-time IMMAF African champion, Kubanza boasts a perfect 7-0 professional MMA record with six knockouts to his name. He made waves from the moment he turned pro, building on his 33-win amateur kickboxing background to overwhelm opponents with relentless forward pressure and violent precision. Training out of SOMA Fight Club in Bali, Indonesia, he’s become a crowd favorite for his aggressive style and ability to end fights in a flash.

High Stakes Against Submission Specialist Jack Grant

At BRAVE CF 97, Kubanza will meet his most experienced foe yet: England’s Jack Grant, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Luta Livre black belt with a 95% finish rate. Grant’s submission prowess is well-known, but Kubanza believes his pace and power will be the difference. This is more than just a co-main event—it’s a litmus test for Kubanza’s place among the elite of the Super Welterweight division.

The matchup pits fire against finesse, with one man hunting a knockout and the other waiting for a mistake to secure a submission. Kubanza knows that one clean punch could shift the entire division, and he’s coming to Burgas with that goal in mind. In front of a roaring Bulgarian crowd, he aims to not just win, but make a statement.

Africa’s Rising Wrecking Ball Eyes BRAVE CF Gold

For Kubanza, this fight is about more than protecting a perfect record. It’s about planting the African flag deeper into BRAVE CF territory and proving he’s the next global star. Every outing under the BRAVE banner has added to his legend, and with each knockout, the calls for title contention grow louder.

With “King Kong” back in action, expect fireworks in Bulgaria. As BRAVE CF continues to host world-class events across Europe, fighters like Kubanza are turning heads and raising the stakes. The Super Welterweight division has a new predator—and his name is Eliezer Kubanza.
