PAVEL DAILIDKO DEMOLISHES MIHA FRLIC IN BRAVE CF 106 HEADLINER
Event Date: Jun 06, 2026
Location: Ljubljana, Slovenia
BRAVE Combat Federation™ (BRAVE CF), the world’s fastest-growing and most global mixed martial arts organization, made its highly anticipated return to Slovenia for the seventh time on Saturday, June 6, staging BRAVE CF 106 in partnership with World Freefight Challenge at the iconic Hala Tivoli in Ljubljana.
The premium live event featured a stacked card highlighted by two BRAVE CF World Championship bouts, delivering another memorable night of elite MMA action for fans in attendance and viewers worldwide.
In the main event of BRAVE CF 106, Pavel “The Experiment” Dailidko successfully defended his BRAVE CF Heavyweight World Championship with a swift stoppage of Slovenia’s very own Miha Frlic.
The Lithuanian superstar absorbed Frlic’s early attack before finding his timing in the opening exchanges. A precise right straight found its mark, sending the Slovenian crashing to the canvas.
Sensing the opportunity, Dailidko immediately followed up on the ground, unleashing a barrage of hammerfists as Frlic struggled to recover. The referee stepped in shortly after, with the contest ending just over a minute into the first round, as “The Experiment” retained his heavyweight crown in emphatic fashion.
MOHAMED SAID MAALEM CAPTURES LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CROWN FROM ERKO JUN
In the co-main event of the evening, Mohamed “L'Ambiance” Said Maalem achieved a career-defining milestone, dethroning Erko “The Bounty Hunter” Jun to capture the BRAVE CF Light Heavyweight World Championship in their highly anticipated rematch.
The Swiss-Algerian powerhouse was tested early as Jun came out aggressively, connecting with punishing leg kicks and spinning strikes to the body. Despite the early onslaught, Said Maalem remained composed and gradually shifted the momentum as the fight progressed.
By the third round, Said Maalem began to impose his wrestling, using timely takedowns and top control to disrupt Jun’s rhythm. The defending World Champion’s output started to slow down as the rounds wore on, while “L'Ambiance” continued to pressure and wear him down.
The breakthrough came in the fourth round when Said Maalem rocked an increasingly fatigued Jun before following him to the canvas. From the top position, he unleashed heavy ground-and-pound to end matters and claim the coveted World Title.
MERCHUK, ABRAMISHVILI SHINE ON BRAVE CF 106 SUPPORTING CARD
Russia’s Marina Merchuk scored a major upset over top-ranked women’s strawweight contender and hometown heroine Monika Ku?ini?, earning the biggest win of her career. The two fighters engaged in a back-and-forth striking battle, trading shots at the center of the cage from start to finish. Merchuk’s clean counterpunching proved decisive, as she eked out a split decision on the scorecards.
Second-ranked bantamweight contender Lasha Abramishvili preserved his unbeaten BRAVE CF run with a dominant showing against No. 5-ranked Brice “Lion Kid” Picaud in a 63-kilogram catchweight tilt. Leaning on a relentless wrestling-based approach across three rounds, the Georgian dynamo controlled the pace and positioning throughout the match to author a clear unanimous decision victory.
The main card began with a heated rematch as Bosnia’s Amil Tuti? squared off once again with Slovenia’s David Forster in a grueling 77.5-kilogram catchweight encounter. Both men unloaded heavy offense from the opening bell to the final horn, with Tuti? ultimately edging out his arch-nemesis to even the rivalry score via a narrow unanimous decision.
BRAVE CF 106 opened with a solid preliminary card featuring five high-octane matchups that set the tone for the evening at Hala Tivoli.
Local favorite Domen “Armbar Hulk” Drnovšek endured a demanding test against Hungary’s István “Assassin” Juhász in a 73-kilogram catchweight duel. After three closely contested rounds, Drnovšek’s steady output and persistence were enough to earn a hard-fought unanimous decision victory.
Germany’s Timon Huss delivered one of the most remarkable finishes at BRAVE CF 106, needing just 50 seconds to stop Slovenia’s Domen Vergles in their light heavyweight tiff. A thunderous right cross dropped Vergles early, before Huss closed the contest with follow-up punches on the ground to score a first-round knockout.
In a clash between promotional newcomers, Slovenian featherweight Edin Ramdedovic recovered from an early storm to defeat Hungary’s Sándor Polik. After weathering a strong opening round, Ramdedovic seized control in the second stanza and latched on a tight guillotine choke for the submission win.
Slovenian standout Maja Drnovšek extended her momentum inside the BRAVE CF cage with another commanding display. Relying on her grappling prowess, Drnovšek wrapped up a first-round arm-triangle choke submission against Poland’s Wiktoria Wojciechowska in their women’s flyweight bout.
Opening the event, Italy’s Leonardo “Leoleo” Medeot produced a well-rounded performance against Slovenian prospect Tilen “RG” Bregant in an amateur middleweight bout. Medeot dictated the tempo across all phases to walk away with a unanimous decision.
