Burgas, Bulgaria — The BRAVE Combat Federation is preparing for another significant European presentation, during which the organization officially announces its return to Bulgaria Saturday, August 1.

The rapidly growing global MMA promotion will host the event at the Burgas Arena, once again partnering with the Bulgarian Fighting Agency to deliver what promises to be an electrifying evening of fights.

Mohammed Shahid emphasizes the growing importance of Bulgaria

BRAVE CF President Mohammed Shahid emphasized the importance of the promotion’s continued presence in the region:

“Bulgaria has become a key destination for BRAVE CF in Europe and we are excited to return for another spectacular event. The passion of the fans, the professionalism of our partners at the Bulgarian Fighting 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 discovering the next generation of mixed martial arts stars.”

Strengthening the key European partnership

This means third year in a row that BRAVE CF has collaborated with the Bulgarian Fighting Agency, further strengthening a partnership that has played a key role in the development of MMA in Eastern Europe.

Each visit contributed to the rapid development of the sport in Bulgaria, raising both the level of competition and the international visibility of local athletes.

Build rate: from BRAVE CF 86 to 97

BRAVE CF first made its presence known in Bulgaria with BRAVE CF 86 in August 2024. The historic debut featured a high-stakes delicate heavyweight bout between Mohamed Said Maalem and Bulgarian standout Atanas Djambazov.

Said Maalem put in an impressive performance, earning a third-round TKO victory in front of an enthusiastic hometown crowd. The event also highlighted local talents such as Rusi Minev and Pavel Vladev, who helped ignite the vivid atmosphere in the Burgas Arena.

Momentum picked up at BRAVE CF 97 in July 2025, which saw Said Maalem return to action against Kaloyan Kolev in another compelling main event.

The continued success of these events has established Bulgaria as a key stop on BRAVE CF’s European tours.

The August 1 event promises elite action

As anticipation builds, the August 1 card is expected to feature a mix of emerging prospects and established contenders from across Europe and beyond.

BRAVE CF’s commitment to showcasing global talent while elevating local fighters remains central to its mission, and this upcoming event aims to further strengthen Bulgaria’s position on the international MMA scene.

Fight announcements on this card are expected in the coming weeks, adding to the excitement surrounding one of the most anticipated combat sports events of the summer.

Why this event matters

BRAVE CF’s return to Burgas is not just another night of fights – it is a continuation of its long-term investment in European MMA. With sturdy local partnerships, growing fan support and consistently competitive fight cards, Bulgaria is quickly becoming a cornerstone of the promotions market.

As August 1 approaches, all signs point to another unforgettable night in the cage – one that could once again draw the attention of the next wave of MMA stars.
