BRAVE Combat Federation’s second trip to Germany has two changes to its fight card. BRAVE CF 68, which will take place in association with NFC (National Fighting Championship), initially featured the co-promoter’s Welterweight title bout as the main event of the evening.

However, Islam Dulatov has been forced to pull out due to lingering effects from a coronavirus infection, and his vacant NFC Welterweight title bout against Florim Zendeli has been cancelled.

Zendeli will now face Tamirlan Dadaev in a non-title fight. Stepping in as the new main event of the evening is a BRAVE CF Super Lightweight interim world title fight.

Joilton Lutterbach faces Mihail Cotruta for the belt and the right to face lineal titleholder Eldar Eldarov in a clash of top grapplers as luta-livre, jiu-jitsu and judo black belt Lutterbach faces combat sambo master of sports Cotruta.

The new co-main event features two-time Super Welterweight title challenger Ismail Naurdiev facing Vadim Kutsyi, from Belarus. Another change involves Axel Sola’s return.

The Frenchman, widely recognized as the number one pound-for-pound fighter in IMMAF during his amateur days, was set to take on Belgium’s Issa Isakov, but Isakov dropped out due to injury and has been replaced by Brazil’s Matheus Miranda.

BRAVE CF 68 wraps up a historical year for the fastest-growing MMA organization in the world and sets the tone for a huge new year as BRAVE Combat Federation continues to expand worldwide.
