BRAVE CF RETURNS TO BULGARIA FOR ANOTHER HISTORIC NIGHT AT BURGAS ARENA
Event Date: Aug 01, 2026
Location: Bulgaria, Burgas
BRAVE Combat Federation™ (BRAVE CF), the world’s fastest-growing and most global mixed martial arts organization, is set to make its highly anticipated return to Bulgaria on Saturday, August 1, as it hosts its next electrifying event at the Burgas Arena in partnership with Bulgarian Fight Agency (BFA).
Mohammed Shahid, President of BRAVE Combat Federation, stated:
“Bulgaria has become a key destination for BRAVE CF in Europe, and we are thrilled to return for another spectacular event. The passion of the fans, the professionalism of our partners at the Bulgarian Fight Agency, and the incredible talent emerging from this region continue to inspire us. We are committed to providing a global platform for Bulgarian athletes while uncovering the next generation of mixed martial arts stars.”
For the third consecutive year, BRAVE CF strengthens its alliance with BFA, reaffirming its commitment to developing the sport in Eastern Europe. The upcoming showcase builds upon a growing legacy in the country, where each visit has elevated the competitive landscape and energized the local scene.
The Bahrain-based combat sports promotion first landed in Bulgaria with BRAVE CF 86 in August 2024. That historic debut featured a high-stakes light heavyweight showdown between Algerian veteran Mohamed “L’Ambiance” Said Maalem and hometown hero Atanas Djambazov.
Said Maalem delivered a decisive technical knockout in the third round, silencing the partisan crowd while leaving a lasting mark on Bulgarian fans. The card also highlighted notable local athletes such as Rusi Minev and Pavel Vladev, whose performances helped ignite a vibrant atmosphere inside the Burgas Arena.
Momentum continued with BRAVE CF 97 in July 2025 once again. The spectacle was anchored by the return of Said Maalem, who faced the dangerous Kaloyan Kolev in a compelling main event clash.
The success of that card further cemented Bulgaria as a recurring stop on BRAVE CF’s European circuit, underscoring the nation’s growing infrastructure and deep reservoir of talent.
As anticipation builds for August 1, BRAVE CF’s return to Burgas promises another night of elite competition, where rising prospects and established contenders will collide inside the cage, further solidifying Bulgaria’s place on the global MMA map.
Bouts for this much-awaited extravaganza will be announced in the coming weeks.
