Pavel Dailidko successfully retained his BRAVE CF Heavyweight World Championship in the main event of BRAVE CF 106, held on August 6, 2026, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The event, a collaboration with World Freefight Challenge at the Hala Tivoli, showcased a night of top-tier mixed martial arts action, including two world title fights.
In the headline bout, the Lithuanian champion, Pavel Dailidko, swiftly dispatched Slovenia’s Miha Frlic. After weathering an initial flurry from Frlic, Dailidko found his rhythm and landed a decisive right hand that sent his opponent to the canvas. Dailidko followed up with ground strikes, prompting the referee to stop the fight just over a minute into the first round, securing his title defense in emphatic fashion.
The co-main event saw Mohamed Said Maalem seize the BRAVE CF Light Heavyweight World Championship from Erko Jun in their anticipated rematch. Maalem endured early aggression from Jun, including powerful leg kicks and body strikes. However, the Swiss-Algerian fighter regained control by the third round, implementing his wrestling to dictate the pace. By the fourth round, Maalem capitalized on a rocked Jun, finishing the fight with ground-and-pound to claim the championship.
In other notable bouts, Russia’s Marina Merchuk upset the favored Monika Kučinič in a women’s strawweight contest, winning by split decision. Lasha Abramishvili maintained his undefeated BRAVE CF record with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Brice Picaud in a 63-kilogram catchweight bout, utilizing a strong wrestling strategy. The main card opener featured a fierce rematch between Amil Tutić and David Forster, with Tutić emerging victorious via a narrow unanimous decision in a 77.5-kilogram catchweight clash.
The preliminary card also delivered exciting finishes and competitive bouts. Timon Huss secured a quick first-round knockout victory in a light heavyweight fight, while Edin Ramdedovic submitted Sándor Polik with a guillotine choke. Maja Drnovšek showcased her grappling skills with an arm-triangle choke submission, and Leonardo Medeot earned a unanimous decision in the amateur middleweight opener.
