MMA – A stacked 12-bout card is set to feature as the Road to BRAVE series makes its way to Hungary through a partnership with CombatX tomorrow at MET Arena in Szekesfehervar.
“Road to BRAVE is about giving deserving athletes the opportunity to show the world what they can do and prove they belong on a bigger stage,” said BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid.
“We are committed to creating competitive match-ups that bring out the best in every participant. We want every fighter to have the chance to showcase their talent, rise to the challenge, and take another step toward an international career. Those who seize that opportunity will have our support as they pursue the next level.”
CombatX president Oze Balazs added: “We are proud to work alongside BRAVE CF in giving Hungarian fighters the opportunity to showcase their abilities on an international platform.
“This is only the beginning of what we hope will be a long-term partnership, and we are working toward hosting a full BRAVE CF event in Hungary in 2027.
“We believe this collaboration can open more doors for our athletes and help elevate Hungarian mixed martial arts (MMA) on the global stage.”
Three inaugural CombatX championship bouts will headline the 12-bout showcase. Balazs Kiss and Marceu Peixoto will vie for the middleweight crown, while Lajos Papp is set to face Caio Cesar Araujo Barbosa for the light heavyweight title. Tarhan Ibragimov and Rodrigo Carlos will complete the marquee cast as they lock horns for the heavyweight belt.
Nine additional contests will feature Hungarian talent against challengers from neighbouring countries, giving local competitors a chance to prove themselves against international opposition.
The Hungarian edition continues BRAVE CF’s grassroots approach to talent development through partnerships with regional promotions. By working with organisations such as CombatX, the initiative helps strengthen local MMA communities while connecting promising competitors to an international network.
