BRAVE CF Unveils Explosive Full Fight Card For Historic ‘GEORGIA VS. THE WORLD’ Event

September 26, 2025 – Tbilisi, Georgia: BRAVE Combat Federation™ (BRAVE CF), the world’s fastest-growing and most global mixed martial arts organization, has announced the complete lineup for BRAVE CF: GEORGIA VS. THE WORLD, set to ignite the Tbilisi New Sports Palace on Friday, October 3.

The blockbuster card stands as the crown jewel of the fifth edition of BRAVE International Combat Week (BICW), staged in partnership with the Georgian Fighting Championship (GFC). With this milestone, Georgia proudly becomes the 37th nation to host a BRAVE CF live event, solidifying the promotion’s unmatched reach across continents.

Fans can expect ten electrifying bouts, featuring homegrown warriors colliding with international standouts in a festival of national pride, global rivalry, and world-class combat sports.

Topping the bill is a high-stakes showdown for the BRAVE CF Interim Lightweight World Championship, as Georgia’s own and No. 1-ranked contender Rauli Tutarauli looks to capture glory on home soil against Dutch powerhouse Pieter “The Archangel” Buist, paving the way for a night of history-making drama.

Also fueling the excitement is a pivotal bantamweight contest between local sensation Lasha Abramishvili and dangerous contender Khurshed “Good Boy” Nazarov of Tajikistan, with the winner putting himself in prime position to challenge reigning BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion Borislav Nikolic.

In another must-watch clash, Pakistan’s Ismail “The Volcano” Khan, the nation’s first-ever IMMAF World Medalist, faces Azerbaijan’s Elmir Jafarov in a bout that symbolizes the trailblazing pathway from IMMAF’s amateur ranks to BRAVE CF’s bright lights.

The card also features the long-awaited MMA debut of Olympic judoka and Georgian national hero Beka Gviniashvili, whose arrival adds immense pride and anticipation for the home crowd. Meanwhile, Bulgarian prospect Nikolay Atanasov makes his BRAVE CF debut — an athlete once hailed by highly touted flyweight sensation Muhammad “The Punisher” Mokaev as one of his toughest amateur challenges.

With global stars, rising prospects, and national icons all converging under one roof, BRAVE CF: GEORGIA VS. THE WORLD promises to be a defining chapter in both Georgian MMA history and BRAVE’s international journey.
