Titles change hands

Pavel “The Experiment” Dailidko successfully defended the BRAVE CF Heavyweight World Championship with an emphatic first-round finish against hometown challenger Miha Frlic. The Lithuanian champion weathered an aggressive opening before landing a decisive right hand that shifted the momentum of the contest.

Once Frlic hit the canvas, Dailidko capitalized on the opportunity with a barrage of strikes that prompted the referee to halt the bout. The victory allowed the champion to retain his heavyweight title in dominant fashion and reaffirm his standing atop the division.

The co-main event produced one of the night’s most significant moments as Mohamed “L’Ambiance” Said Maalem captured the BRAVE CF Light Heavyweight World Championship. The Swiss-Algerian contender overcame a strong start from defending champion Erko Jun before taking control in the later rounds.

Jun found success early with leg kicks and spinning attacks, but Said Maalem gradually imposed his wrestling and top control. The challenger’s pressure eventually paid off in the fourth round when he secured a stoppage victory to claim the championship and complete a career-defining triumph.
