BRAVE Combat Federation kicks off the BRAVE International Combat Week with BRAVE CF 77, co-headlined by two massive title fights. Find the entire BRAVE CF 77: Kubanychbek vs. Martins fight card, start times and streams below.
BRAVE International Combat Week is set to take place from 5 December to 15 December, with four events. This includes BRAVE CF 77, BRAVE CF 79 and BRAVE CF 80, all taking place from the Khalifa Sports City Arena in Isa Town, Bahrain. BRAVE CF 78: Victorious also takes place during this time from Fortaleza, Brazil.
The BRAVE CF 77 main event features a BRAVE CF Lightweight Championship bout between Kubanychbek Abdisalam and Lucas Martins. The defending BRAVE CF Lightweight Champion Kubanychbek enters BRAVE CF 77 riding a remarkable 13-fight unbeaten streak dating back to 2017. He earned a title shot with a 2021 stoppage of Rolando Dy.
Following an unfortunate no-contest against Cleiton Silva, Kubanychbek claimed the interim title against Olzhas Eskaraev last year and became the undisputed Champion in February with a decision win over Kamil Magomedov. He will hope to continue his outstanding run and defend the belt against former BRAVE CF Lightweight Champion Lucas “Mineiro” Martins.
Following a tough run of form from 2018 to 2021, where he lost three straight fights, Martins has bounced back to career-best form despite being inactive. He scored a first-round knockout of Henrique Marques last year to return to the win column. Martins earned his title shot at BRAVE CF 77 with a first-round stoppage of Ylies Djiroun at BRAVE CF 74 in September.
In the BRAVE CF 77 co-main event, BRAVE CF Super Welterweight (175 lbs) Champion Marcin Bandel defends his belt against undefeated Russian Kamal Magomedov, who has won all 10 of his pro fights inside the distance. Undefeated in his three BRAVE CF bouts, Bandel claimed the title with a first-round armbar of Ismail Naurdiev last year. He will look to defend his title for the first time against Magomedov at Brave CF 77.
