The world’s fastest-growing and most global MMA organisation has officially unveiled the full fight card for BRAVE CF 107, reinforcing its commitment to expanding the sport across Eastern Europe. Held in partnership with the Bulgarian Fight Agency (BFA), the event brings together fighters from across Europe, Africa and Asia in a showcase designed to highlight both established names and emerging talent.

Kolev headlines home showcase

The main event sees Bulgarian standout Kaloyan Kolev defend home pride in a pivotal light heavyweight clash against Slovenia’s Nemanja “Sledgehammer” Kovač. With a passionate local crowd expected to pack Burgas Arena, Kolev will look to capitalise on home advantage against an opponent determined to silence the fans and score a statement victory.

The co-main event offers another compelling international matchup as Georgia’s Bidzina Gavashelishvili takes on South Africa’s Luthando “Shorty” Biko in a flyweight contest.
