The fastest-growing Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organisation in the world has its next destination locked and loaded.
On 26 November, BRAVE Combat Federation returns to Indonesia for BRAVE CF 66, officials announced yesterday.
It will be the promotion’s first trip to the Southeast Asia country since early 2018, when BRAVE CF 12 took place in Jakarta.
The show follows up a tremendous Kombat Kingdom series with three events in nine days taking the Kingdom of Bahrain by storm in October.
BRAVE CF 63, 64, and 65 were a tremendous success and set the pace for an electric end-of-year by the most-travelled company in MMA today.
Indonesia is a long-term target territory for BRAVE Combat Federation to return after the success of BRAVE CF 12: KHK Legacy, which took place in Jakarta on May 11th, 2018, and featured future Super Lightweight world champion Eldar Eldarov taking on Brian Hooi in a Lightweight main event.
While no bouts have been announced, BRAVE Nation can expect a very entertaining fight card as BRAVE CF will look to celebrate its return to Indonesia in style.
Bandel receives hero’s welcome
Following his emphatic title-winning victory in BRAVE Combat Federation, Poland’s Marcin Bandel was warmly embraced by his people during a recent football match back home.
Bandel attended his favorite team LKS Lodz’s match against Arka Gdynia this past weekend in Lodz and was warmly welcomed by thousands of fans in the stadium alongside his shiny new BRAVE CF world title belt.
During halftime, the man known as “Bomba” was introduced to the boisterous crowd who celebrated the new BRAVE CF Super Welterweight champion and his belt after he shocked the mixed martial arts world.
Marcin headlined BRAVE CF 63 in the Kingdom of Bahrain and submitted superstar and heavy favorit Ismail Naurdiev via armbar in the first round to capture the elusive title.
Bandel, short of words due to Naurdiev breaking his jaw in the fight, was grateful to be back home and to proudly represent Poland in the fastest-growing MMA organisation in the world.
“I can’t talk too much following the surgery I had on my jaw, but I will say this, a big thank you to all of you for supporting me,” said Bandel before triggering the entire Wladyslaw Krol Municipal Stadium to erupt as fans chanted “Marcin Bandel, Marcin Bandel”.
“I am really proud to stand before you as a Polish BRAVE CF champion and I am really happy to share this with you all,” he added.
