BRAVE Combat Federation made a statement in Lithuania with its historic premium live event BRAVE CF 99 at the Twinsbet Arena in Vilnius. Partnering with Unique & Talented Martial Artists (UTMA), the organization delivered a stacked 10-fight card capped by a world championship showdown.

Pavel “The Experiment” Dailidko stole the spotlight in the main event, defending his BRAVE CF Heavyweight World Championship with a first-round stoppage of French challenger Gregory “Robson” Robinet. The Lithuanian powerhouse came out firing, landing clean combinations that overwhelmed Robinet. A decisive flurry forced the referee to halt the fight, sealing Dailidko’s seventh straight victory and preserving his 100 percent finishing rate.

Betlemidze wins after disqualification

The co-main event ended in dramatic fashion as Georgia’s Shota Betlemidze took the win via disqualification against Lithuania’s Tomas “Lumberjack” Pakutinskas. The bout started aggressively, with both heavyweights trading power shots. Betlemidze secured a takedown, but Pakutinskas landed illegal strikes to the back of the head just 90 seconds into the fight. The blows left Betlemidze unable to continue, prompting the referee to disqualify Pakutinskas.

Georgia’s Bidzina Gavashelishvili showcased dominant grappling to beat Turkey’s Alperen Karabulut by unanimous decision in a 58-kilogram catchweight contest. Laurynas “Captain Lithuania” Urbonavicius also impressed, outpointing Morocco’s Salim El Ouassaidi in a hard-fought light heavyweight clash. Urbonavicius relied on takedowns and control to edge out the win on the scorecards.

Lithuania’s Zygimantas Ramaska added a highlight to the night with a first-round submission of France’s Geisym Derouiche. After rocking his opponent with strikes, Ramaska transitioned to the mat and locked in a tight armbar for the victory.
