BRAVE CF 69 was a mixed martial arts event held by Brave Combat Federation on February 18, 2023 at the Stark Arena in Belgrade, Serbia.
Background
Abdisalam Kubanychbek of Kyrgyzstan, the interim lightweight champion of BRAVE CF, will face Kamil Magomedov of Russia in the main event for the chance to unify the 155-pound global championship. This situation developed after Ahmed Amir, a previous lineal champion, had his title removed because of doubts about his ability to compete again.[2][3]
The mouthwatering Heavyweight fight between Serbia's Darko Stosic and Bahrain's Shamil Gaziev serves as the co-main event. Gaziev, a former amateur champion in Europe, Asia, and Africa, is looking to improve to 2-0 in BRAVE Combat Federation after a good start at BRAVE CF 65. He is unbeaten since going professional. After competing in many well-known promotions, Stosic makes his promotional debut and will enter the BRAVE CF cage with a lot of anticipation around him. Darko's first match on home turf since 2017 will take place there.[4]
Aleksandar "Joker" Ilic, a local celebrity, competes against Marcin Naruszczka of Poland in the third and final fight of the evening in a 90-kilogram catchweight match. When the bout between "Joker" and Brazil's Cleber "Clebinho" Sousa was cancelled, Naruszczka was given the chance to step in and shock the world and achieve the biggest victory of his career - in front of a crowd that hadn't seen their hero fight live since 2018.[2]
