Brave CF started the year off in Russia, and with no event announced as of yet, Saturday’s action could be the final event held by the global promotion in 2021. Brave CF 55 will feature 10 bouts, with a spot in the Flyweight Grand-Prix up for grabs.
Russian athlete Velimurad Alkhasov earned his spot in the finale via split decision victory over former UFC and Bellator fighter Zach Makovsky at Brave CF 50. It could be an all-Russian showdown if Ali Bagautinov can overcome the short-notice semifinalist Sean Santella.
