BRAVE CF’s Flyweight Division Is Heating...

The Flyweight division in BRAVE Combat Federation isn’t just thriving—it’s catching fire. As MMA continues to expand across the globe, BRAVE CF has quietly built one of the most dynamic and competitive 125-pound rosters in the sport. And over the next few weeks, the entire landscape of the division could be turned on its head.

At BRAVE CF 95, former Bantamweight world champion Jose “Shorty” Torres makes his highly anticipated return to Flyweight for the first time in five years. He’ll face Dias Yerengaipov, a dangerous up-and-comer from Kazakhstan who’s been climbing the ranks with serious momentum. A victory for Torres would solidify his legendary status within the promotion—but it may also set the stage for a blockbuster clash fans have long been craving: Jose Torres vs. Muhammad Mokaev for the vacant BRAVE CF Flyweight World Title.

Undefeated and sitting at the top of the rankings, Mokaev has been circling a matchup with his KHK MMA teammate Torres for some time. While he’s expected to be cornering Ramazan Gitinov at BRAVE CF 95, many believe Mokaev will be closely watching Torres as a future opponent. If it happens, a showdown between Mokaev and Torres would be a generational clash—one of the most intriguing stylistic matchups the division has ever seen on a global platform. Still, Yerengaipov has the chance to disrupt that narrative and stake his own claim for a title shot.

The action doesn’t stop there.

Just a week later at BRAVE CF 96 in Slovenia, another pivotal bout will take place as Bidzina Gavashelishvili meets Marciano Ferreira. Gavashelishvili, a Georgian grappler with a methodical approach, takes on Ferreira, a Brazilian knockout artist known for his explosive finishes. It’s a high-stakes clash that could catapult the winner into the championship conversation.

Looking ahead to July, tensions will rise even higher when Gerard Burns and Alperen Karabulut square off in a grudge match that has been brewing for months. Both fighters have traded words with Mokaev in the past, and their encounter is more than just about rankings—it’s personal. Their rivalry adds another layer of intrigue to an already red-hot division.

In just a few months, BRAVE CF’s Flyweight class has become a whirlwind of rivalries, contenders, and championship dreams. From veterans like Torres to unbeaten prospects like Mokaev, and from fiery grudges to international flair, the 125-pound division is brimming with potential.

And with the spotlight shining brighter than ever, the Flyweight title has become one of the most coveted—and competitive—prizes in the global MMA scene.
