Dailidko vs Frlic BRAVE CF headlines a major showdown as the promotion confirms a heavyweight world title fight set for Saturday, June 6, at Hala Tivoli in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The bout will see reigning champion Pavel “The Experiment” Dailidko defend his title against hometown contender Miha Frlic in what is shaping up to be a high-stakes clash.

The event marks BRAVE Combat Federation’s return to Slovenia in partnership with World Freefight Challenge, further expanding its global footprint while delivering a marquee fight featuring two of the division’s most dangerous heavyweights.

Champion looks to extend dominant reign

Dailidko enters the fight with a reputation as one of the most feared heavyweights in the promotion. The Lithuanian champion holds an 11-2 professional record, with all of his victories coming by knockout, highlighting his finishing ability inside the cage.

“I have worked relentlessly to reach this level, and I am far from done,” Dailidko said. “Miha Frlic is a dangerous and deserving challenger, but I thrive under pressure.”

Since joining BRAVE CF in 2022, Dailidko has compiled six wins in his last seven appearances. His breakthrough moment came at BRAVE CF 88 in September 2024, where he captured the inaugural heavyweight world title with a first-round stoppage of Patryk Dubiela.

He has since defended the belt twice, including a dominant performance at BRAVE CF 99 in Vilnius, where he finished Grégory Robinet in under a round. With momentum firmly on his side, Dailidko aims to further solidify his status as the division’s top force.

Undefeated Frlic eyes breakthrough moment

Standing opposite the champion is Miha Frlic, the No. 1-ranked contender who remains unbeaten with a 7-0-1 record. The Slovenian fighter has built his reputation through aggressive performances and a relentless pace that has overwhelmed opponents.

“This is the moment I have been working toward my entire career,” Frlic said. “To compete for the world title in front of my people is an incredible honor.”

Frlic has gone 4-0 under the BRAVE CF banner, earning his title opportunity with a first-round demolition of Samuele Di Guardo at BRAVE CF 104. His rise through the ranks has been fueled by his explosive power and ability to finish fights decisively.

The upcoming clash presents a compelling contrast between Dailidko’s proven knockout dominance and Frlic’s unbeaten momentum. With the title on the line and a home crowd behind the challenger, the bout is expected to deliver an intense and unpredictable contest.

As BRAVE CF continues to expand its presence across global markets, the Ljubljana event stands out as a key moment for the promotion. More details about the fight card and event are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
