The Bahraini organization BRAVE Combat Federation, the fastest-growing and most widespread MMA promotion worldwide, is set to deliver an extraordinary night of excitement with the BRAVE CF: GEORGIA VS. THE WORLD event at the new Tbilisi Sports Palace on Friday, October 3rd. This is in partnership with the Georgian Fighting Championship (GFC), as part of the BRAVE International Fight Week “Georgia 2025”.

The event marks the highlight of the fifth edition of the BRAVE International Fight Week, featuring nine fiery bouts that bring together Georgia’s top stars against a selection of global fighters.

BRAVE Bahrain’s president, Mr. Mohammed Shahid, confirmed: “From the start, we knew the debut in Georgia had to be special. All fights are designed to spotlight Georgia’s top talents facing strong international names. This is not just a fight show, but a historic moment with a world title on the line.”

The top-ranked lightweight fighter Rauli Totaroli carries the hopes of his nation as he faces the veteran Dutch fighter Peter Bost, nicknamed “The Guardian Angel,” in the main event for the interim lightweight BRAVE CF title.

In the co-main event, rising Georgian star Lasha Ibrahimishvili meets the world’s third-ranked bantamweight, Tajik fighter Khurshid Nazarov, nicknamed “The Good Boy,” with the winner moving one step closer to facing the world champion in the same weight class, Borislav Nikolic.

The event also features a strong matchup between Pakistani fighter Ismail Khan, nicknamed “The Volcano,” who earned his country its first medal at the IMMAF World Championships, and Azerbaijani Elmir Jafarov, showcasing the transition from amateur to top professional platforms.

The audience also eagerly anticipates the debut of promising Bulgarian fighter Nikolay Atanasov, previously described by global star Mohammed Mokaev, nicknamed “The Punisher,” as one of his toughest amateur opponents.

On the other hand, the debut of Olympian Beka Gviniashvili and the anticipated bout between Vazha Tsiptauri and Amir Malekpour have been postponed due to injury. Despite these changes, the fight card remains packed with thrilling matchups that will make BRAVE CF’s first appearance in Georgia unforgettable.
