Italy : RAVE CF 52 will mark the debut of the truly global MMA promotion in Italy and, with the event scheduled for August 1st in Milan, the fighters announcements are at full steam. The last batch of confirmed athletes on the card includes five names, all of them from the 66kg division, with the former world champion Elias Boudegzdame leading the pack.
Holding a professional record of 16 wins and 7 losses, Elias Boudegzdame has his name firmly placed in BRAVE CF history as the French-Algerian grappling artist was the very first BRAVE Combat Federation champion of the world, submitting Mexico’s Masio Fullen at BRAVE CF 4, back in 2017.
Moldova’s Valeriu Mircea is another addition to the card. “The Solitary Wolf”, as he’s also known as, holds a staggering pro record of 25 wins, 7 losses and 1 draw. Despite the very positive record overall, Mircea is coming off a unanimous decision loss against Omar Solomonov at BRAVE CF 50. Based in Italy, the Featherweight will be looking for redemption at home.
The next confirmed name is a much-anticipated return to the BRAVE CF arena. Ireland’s Declan “The Diamond” Dalton is making his promotional comeback after three years. The Irish Featherweight holds a pro record of 11 wins and five losses.
Austrian young star Husein Kadimagomaev is another addition to BRAVE CF’s maiden trip to Italy as the top Featherweight looks to rebound from his first career loss against Tae Kyun Kim.
Last but not least, Azerbaijan’s own Agshin Babaev is making his second BRAVE CF appearance. Holding a professional record of 22 wins, 7 losses, 1 draw and 1 No Contest, the “Warrior” is a grappling specialist, with almost 60% of his victories coming by way of submission.
BRAVE CF 52 will be promoted in association with The Golden Cage and marks the eight different European country visited by BRAVE Combat Federation, with Italy joining Northern Ireland, England, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, Russia, and Belarus, solidifying the organization’s stance as having the most active MMA market share in Europe, and dedication towards fostering the European mixed martial arts scene.
