This week’s Brave Combat Federation card will soldier on without one of its most anticipated matchups.
On Sunday morning, the Bahraini promotion announced that Ultimate Fighting Championship alum Lucas Martins (20-5), who was scheduled to meet Luan Santiago Carvalho (15-4) in the co-main event of Brave CF 41, has been forced to withdraw after suffering an undisclosed injury. As a consequence, the Denis Tiuliulin vs. Ikram Aliskerov middleweight battle has been promoted to the co-main event spot.
M-1 Global veteran Tiuliulin (8-4, 1 NC) is making his Brave debut on the strength of a three-bout winning streak, all three by TKO.
