BRAVE Combat Federation wrapped up its calendar for 2021 with an epic night of fights in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, the same country that kicked off the promotion’s year back in January. BRAVE CF 55 saw the rise of contenders and a plethora of exciting fights and finishes.
In the main event of the evening, Ali Bagautinov showed why he’s known as the “Puncherking” and stopped Sean Santella in roughly a minute using his fists and qualifying to meet Velimurad Alkhasov in the Flyweight Tournament Grand Finale - the winner will become BRAVE CF’s first-ever 125-pound world champion.
Right off the bat, Santella, a skilled grappler and seasoned veteran, went straight-shooting for a takedown, which Bagautinov promptly denied while connecting his first hands to the opponent.
“Shorty Rock” insisted and Bagautinov managed to gain the top position, unloading a deadly sequence in the ground and pound that forced the referee to stop the fight.
