Ljubljana, Slovenia — BRAVE Combat Federation (BRAVE CF), one of the most global organizations in mixed martial arts, has officially announced a massive Heavyweight World Championship bout set to headline its return to Slovenia.
The title clash will feature reigning champion Pavel Dailidko defending his belt against undefeated hometown contender Miha Frlic on Saturday, June 6, at the historic Hala Tivoli in Ljubljana. The event is being organized in partnership with World Freefight Challenge (WFC).
Champion Pavel Dailidko Ready to Defend His Throne
Lithuanian powerhouse Pavel “The Experiment” Dailidko enters the fight as one of the most feared heavyweights competing today. The BRAVE CF champion owns an 11-2 professional record, with every one of his victories coming by knockout, making him one of the most dangerous finishers in the division.
Since joining BRAVE CF in 2022, Dailidko has gone 6-1 inside the promotion, establishing himself as the organization’s dominant heavyweight champion.
His title-winning performance came at BRAVE CF 88 in September 2024, where he stopped Patryk Dubiela in the opening round to become the inaugural BRAVE CF Heavyweight World Champion.
Dailidko has since successfully defended the title twice, including a highlight-reel finish against Grégory Robinet at BRAVE CF 99 in Vilnius.
“I have worked relentlessly to reach this level, and I am far from done,” Dailidko said. “Miha Frlic is a dangerous and deserving challenger, but I thrive under pressure. On June 6, I will reinforce my reign and remind the world why I am the most feared heavyweight in BRAVE CF.”
Undefeated Challenger Miha Frlic Looks to Make History
Standing across the cage will be Slovenian contender Miha Frlic, who carries an undefeated 7-0-1 professional record and a perfect 4-0 run in BRAVE CF competition.
Frlic has rapidly climbed the rankings thanks to his aggressive style, explosive power, and ability to finish fights early.
His title shot was secured at BRAVE CF 104, where he delivered a devastating first-round knockout victory over Samuele Di Guardo to claim the No. 1 contender position.
“This is the moment I have been working toward my entire career,” Frlic said. “To compete for the World Title in front of my people is an incredible honor. Pavel Dailidko is one of the best in the division, but I am ready to prove that I belong at the top and bring the belt home to Slovenia.”
Knockout Power vs Undefeated Momentum
The matchup sets up a classic heavyweight collision — the devastating knockout power of a reigning champion against the unbeaten momentum of a rising contender.
With BRAVE CF returning to Slovenia and a passionate local crowd expected at Hala Tivoli, the championship bout between Dailidko and Frlic promises to be one of the most explosive heavyweight fights of the year.
More details about the fight card and additional matchups are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
