BRAVE Combat Federation (BRAVE CF) returns to Slovenia for BRAVE CF 102 at Hala Tivoli in Ljubljana on Sunday, Nov. 23. The card is headlined by a high-stakes heavyweight main event pitting Slovenia’s rising star Miha Frlic against Poland’s Patryk Dubiela.

The bout carries championship implications: a win could move the victor into position to challenge BRAVE CF Heavyweight World Champion Pavel “The Experiment” Dailidko. BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid said the matchup blends national pride and elite international competition, promising an electric night for local fans.

Frlic’s rise and opportunity at home

Miha Frlic enters BRAVE CF 102 with an unbeaten professional mark (5-0-1) and a growing reputation for heavy hands and relentless pace. He scored a highlight stoppage over Shah Kamali at BRAVE CF 96 in June, a win already talked about as a 2025 Fight of the Year contender.

A home victory in Ljubljana would be historic: Frlic could become the first Slovenian to earn a crack at a BRAVE CF world title. Competing before his countrymen gives him momentum and a rare runway to vault into the heavyweight title conversation.

Dubiela’s redemption mission

Patryk Dubiela arrives in Slovenia as a dangerous, well-rounded finisher with four stoppages in six career wins. His 48-second knockout of Kasim Aras at BRAVE CF 81 thrust him into the spotlight and earned him a previous World Title opportunity against Dailidko.

Now seeking redemption and a return to title contention, Dubiela views BRAVE CF 102 as the chance to reclaim momentum and possibly set up a blockbuster rematch with the reigning champion. The matchup promises fireworks: both fighters possess finishing ability and the winner will edge closer to a title shot.

With two of Europe’s top heavyweights clashing on Nov. 23, BRAVE CF 102 could reshape the division. Expect an intense atmosphere in Ljubljana as local stakes and international ambitions collide.
