With Brave Combat Federation proving to be a reliable source of future UFC, Bellator, and PFL standouts, a prospect couldn’t be blamed for viewing the Bahrain-based promotion as a platform for other opportunities.
Denis Maher, though, is strictly focused on the task at hand.
Unbeaten in seven pro bouts, Maher heads into the biggest fight of his career this Friday when he takes on Rinat Sagyntay (9-0) in the co-main event of Brave CF 51, the promotion’s first-ever show in Maher’s native Belarus (and in his hometown of Minsk, no less). Sagyntay presents a significant jump in competition from what the 26-year-old Maher has faced thus far, so a win will go a long way towards establishing whether Maher is a legitimate prospect.
