BRAVE Combat Federation™ (BRAVE CF), the world’s fastest-growing and most global mixed martial arts organization, proudly congratulates Serbian superstar Borislav "Zombee" Nikoli? as he embarks on a new chapter in the Ultimate Fighting Championship following a memorable reign as BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion.
As Nikoli? begins the next phase of his professional career, he has officially relinquished the BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Championship, concluding an outstanding reign while ushering in a new era for one of the promotion’s most competitive divisions.
Since joining BRAVE CF in 2021, Nikoli? established himself as one of its premier athletes. Across eight appearances, he earned six victories, consistently proving himself against elite international opposition before reaching the summit of the bantamweight ranks.
His defining moment came at BRAVE CF 96 in June 2025, where he submitted Nicholas "The Saint" Hwende with a spectacular fourth-round ninja choke to capture the division's most coveted prize.
Five months later, “Zombee” further cemented his legacy by successfully defending the crown in the main event of the historic BRAVE 100 extravaganza, stopping Hamza "The Pride of Bahrain" Kooheji via fourth-round technical knockout.
His final appearance under the BRAVE CF banner came this past February at BRAVE CF 104, where he once again showcased his finishing instincts by stopping Matheus Malta in a 64-kilogram catchweight contest.
BRAVE CF President Mohammed "The Hawk" Shahid praised Nikoli? for his remarkable contributions while wishing him success in the next stage of his career.
"Borislav Nikoli?'s story is one that everyone at BRAVE Combat Federation is immensely proud of. He embraced every challenge, became a World Champion, and represented our promotion with honor throughout his time here," Shahid stated.
"We congratulate him on this opportunity and thank him for the unforgettable moments he created inside our cage. While this chapter comes to a close, he should always know that BRAVE CF will forever be his home. We wish him nothing but success."
Meanwhile, Nikoli? expressed his gratitude to the promotion that helped shape his impressive rise in the sport.
"My time with BRAVE Combat Federation has been nothing short of incredible. Winning the Bantamweight World Title is something I will always cherish, and I would not be in this position without the opportunities this organization gave me," Nikoli? said.
"I am thankful to everyone at BRAVE CF and the fans who supported me throughout the years. This promotion will always have a special place in my heart."
Nikoli?'s success further reflects BRAVE CF's commitment to showcasing world-class athletes and delivering high-level competition across the globe.
Throughout its history, BRAVE CF has scouted and featured some of MMA's biggest names, including Ilia "El Matador" Topuria, Khamzat "Borz" Chimaev, Benoit "God of War" Saint Denis, Jarrah "Jordanian Lion" Al-Silawi, Bubba "Bad Man" Jenkins, and Brad "Superman" Katona.
