The event, which will be co-promoted alongside local promotion Amir Temur Fighting Championship, will represent BRAVE’s second event in Uzbekistan as the promotion returns to the nation after their first show, BRAVE CF 59, back in June 2022.
Headlining the event is a lightweight battle between local hero Nozim Kalandrov and Pakistan’s Rizwan Ali.
Kalandrov, known to his fans as “Bukhara Warrior”, will look to improve on his 7-2 record as he looks to follow up on his back-to-back victories under the ATFC banner. Ali, meanwhile, heads into the bout with a perfect 11-0 record, including back-to-back finishes of Srikant Sekhar at BRAVE CF 85 and BRAVE CF 92 in 2024.
The co-main will see a featherweight battle between Uzbekistan’s Sardor “Tiger” Khudoyberdiev and Kazakhstan’s Koshen Akanov, with Khodoyberdiev chasing his 10th professional victory as he takes on 6-1 Akanov, who is looking to bounce back from the first loss of his professional career.
The card will also feature a quartet of ranked BRAVE CF contenders. Lightweight Khamzat Maaev and super welterweight Zagid Gaidarov are both ranked third in their respective divisions, while lightweight Owais Yaqoob and flyweight Ismail Khan are both listed seventh in their respective division’s rankings.
