The Bahraini BRAVE Combat Federation, the most widespread organization in the sport of mixed martial arts in the world, continues its intensive preparations to organize the BRAVE CF 99 tournament in cooperation with the Unique & Talented Martial Artists (UTMA) organization, on Saturday, October 18, at the Twinsbet Arena in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius.
Lithuanian champion Pavel Dylidko, nicknamed “The Experience,” is preparing to write a new chapter in his illustrious career, when he headlines the historic BRAVE CF 99 show, which Lithuania is hosting for the first time.
Dalydko, who is the world heavyweight champion, will defend his title against Frenchman Gregory “Robsen” Robinet, in the main event match taking place in this tournament, which comes within the Bahraini Brave Organization’s expansion plan in the European continent.
On this occasion, Lithuanian champion Pavel Dylidko said: “Heading the first BRAVE CF show in my country is an honor that I will never forget. It is not just about defending the belt, but about representing Lithuania on the world stage and proving that we have fighters capable of shining in the sport of mixed martial arts.”
He added: “The Bahraini Brave Organization believed in European fighters when others did not. It gave us the opportunity to prove that we are capable of competing at the highest level.”
He continued, “Defending the title on my home soil means a lot to me. I will give the fans a performance they will never forget, and this belt will remain in Lithuania.”
The Lithuanian champion concluded his speech by stressing that the event has a greater dimension than just a championship fight, as he said: “The arrival of BRAVE CF to Lithuania will change the future of martial arts sports here. This event will inspire the next generation of Lithuanian fighters to believe that their dreams are possible.”
Lithuanian champion Pavel Dylidko, 34, grew up in rural Lithuania, where he refined his character through perseverance and hard work, until he became a symbol of sporting pride in his country.
Dalydko made history at BRAVE CF 88 in September 2024, when he became the organization’s first world heavyweight champion after defeating Patrick Dobyela by knockout in the first round, and then successfully defended his title against Audie Delaney at BRAVE CF 94 last May.
