Eliezer ‘King Kong’ Kubanza is rapidly becoming one of BRAVE Combat Federation’s most electrifying fighters. With a perfect 7-0 record, including six dominant finishes, the Congolese powerhouse is making a serious statement in the super welterweight division. Representing the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kubanza is not just a rising contender—he’s a trailblazer for African MMA on the global stage.

A Meteoric Rise in BRAVE CF

Kubanza made his debut at BRAVE CF 72 (June 23, 2023) with a stunning first-round head-kick knockout of Rayan Atmani, setting the tone for his dominant run. Six months later at BRAVE CF 79, he followed up with a first-round TKO against Adel Ibrahim, solidifying his reputation as a devastating striker.

His momentum continued into 2024 at BRAVE CF 85, where he delivered another first-round TKO against Salamat Orozakunov. But his biggest test came at BRAVE CF 91 (December 13, 2024), where he faced the durable Zagid Gaidarov. For the first time in his career, Kubanza went the distance, securing a unanimous decision victory and proving he is more than just a knockout artist.

A Showdown with Marcin Bandel on the Horizon?

Embracing BRAVE CF’s “Year of the BRAVE” theme for 2025, Kubanza has called out former champion Marcin Bandel for a fight. Taking to social media, he challenged Bandel, writing:

“OG, let’s throw some hands in 2025. I’ll be honored to share the cage with you.”

Bandel’s response has left the door open for what could be a high-stakes clash in the super welterweight division.

A Title Shot Looms for ‘King Kong’

With an undefeated record and growing star power, 2025 could be the year Kubanza claims BRAVE CF gold. His blend of power, precision, and charisma makes him one of the most exciting fighters to watch.

As African MMA continues to rise, Eliezer ‘King Kong’ Kubanza is proving to be one of its most promising ambassadors. With BRAVE CF set for an action-packed year, the super welterweight division may soon have to bow to a new king.
