Brave Combat Federation put on an action-packed
show with ten fights that brought nine finishes including eight
knockouts. The
Brave CF 47 main event featured a lightweight battle between
Abdisalam
Kubanychbek (17-2) and Ultimate Fighting Championship alum Rolando Dy
(14-10-1). “The Incredible” looked good in the first part of the
opening frame as his educated jab found his way to the Kyrgyz
fighter’s chin. Kubanychbek was slow in finding his pace, but once
he did, he closed the distance and shot for takedowns. After taking
“The Incredible” to the mat, Kubanychbek trapped Dy with his back
against the fence and punished his opponent with a few punches and
elbows. “Omok” finished the first frame by landing an emphatic
suplex.
The advantage in the second round for Dy was on the feet, who
marked up his opponent from range, until he was taken down. The
difficulties Kubanychbek saw on the feet were removed when he set
up his takedowns with strikes. Moving the fight to the canvas,
“Omok” started pounding on his opponent. When Dy got back on his
feet, Kubanychbek dragged “The Incredible” back down, where he
landed heavy shots. The Kyrgyzstan native ended the round on top of
his opponent, scoring effectively from above. At the end of the
one-minute break, Dy’s corner kept their fighter on the stool and
he did not answer the call for the third round. The contest
officially went in the books as a TKO due to corner stoppage at
5:00 of Round 2. With his victory, “Omok” earned the number one
contender status with his sights on his division’s belt in the
future.
Fight 9
Tae Kyun Kim (8-0) is a very good prospect. Good guard play in Rd
1, weathered the takedowns and wrestling to finish another
excellent prospect in Husein Kadimagomaev (7-1) in Rd 3 after
Husein gassed. pic.twitter.com/iMFP7R5W22— Dusty Andrews (@Fight_Expert)

The co-main event saw Tae Kyun
Kim (8-0) stay unbeaten after defeating Husein
Kadimagomaev (7-1) at featherweight. Kim and Kadimagomaev
tested each other’s grappling skills in the opening stanza, with
the Swiss fighter dominating the early going. As the round
progressed, Kim proved that he could match his opponent’s
grappling, pulling off a sweep to end up on top. In the second
frame, a clumsy takedown attempt from Kadimagomaev left him wide
open, where he was dropped with a stiff jab. Kim leapt on top,
landing powerful strikes and cutting the Swiss fighter in the
process. After composing himself, Kadimagomaev resorted to his
wrestling once again to put his opponent on his back. Kadimagomaev
came close to ending the fight with a guillotine choke, but Kim
survived to the bell.
Fatigue crept in for both men in Round 3, as Kadimagomaev doggedly
pursued the takedown but could not land it. Kim managed to keep the
fight on the feet by stuffing every takedown attempt, and
eventually the gassed Kadimagomaev fell over to his back, where Kim
easily secured full mount. From there, Kim sought the finish,
slamming his fists into his opponent until a desperate Kadimagomaev
rolled over and was flattened out while trying to escape. The South
Korean continued his barrage of punches until his foe was no longer
able to defend himself intelligently any longer. The referee
stopped the action after 2:43 in Round 3, rewarding Kim with his
third victory under the Brave CF banner.
At Brave’s super-welterweight division of 175 pounds, Nursultan
Ruziboev (30-8-2) viciously knocked Bellator MMA alum Ibrahim
Mane (8-4) out with a slam in the first round. Both Ruziboev
and Mane threatened one another with various submission attempts,
and Mane locked up a triangle choke. To break up the choke, the
Uzbekistani lifted Mane up and slammed him into unconsciousness,
ending the fight just 3:12 into Round 1.
Earlier on the card, Nemat
Abdrashitov (16-6) made a statement in his promotional debut by
slugging his way through Anzor
Abdulkhozjaev (11-2) in the second round of their 150-pound
catchweight. Abdrashitov dropped Abdulkhozjaev with a right hook,
and went on to finish the job with a few follow-up punches on the
ground. The Round 2 stoppage came at 2:27.
Elsewhere, 145-pound contender Abdul
Azim Badakhshi (11-3) scored his first Brave victory by
faceplanting Agshin
Babaev (21-7-1) with a nasty two-punch combination. Babaev
attempted to slow the fight down and tire his opponent out with
takedowns, but he was ultimately unsuccessful. Badakhshi was
unconcerned by the repeated attempts, and when the two separated,
he made the most of his opportunity to land a murderous uppercut.
The Russian wobbled, and Badakhshi sent his adversary crashing
face-first to the canvas with a quick but devastating right hand.
The walk-off knockout came at 4:23 of the first round.
In a flyweight contest, Ryskulbek
Ibraimov (18-4) made his successful promotional debut by
outpointing UFC alum Jenel Lausa
(7-6) via unanimous decision. Even though his opponent changed the
day before the fight and Lausa missed weight by 1.5 pounds,
Ibraimov imposed his superior wrestling skills over “The Demolition
Man.” The Kyrgyzstani fighter won on all three scorecards, earning
scores of 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 from the judges.
KO of the Year, anyone?
Crazy fight, crazier ending! @farhadMMA

In a 135-pound battle, Mohammed
Farhad (12-3) shut Uloomi
Karim Shaheen’s (5-6) lights out with a lethal counterpunch
that put “Somchai” out cold in an instant. A reckless Shaheen did
some damage but left himself open early and often, and Farhad was
able to take advantage of the defensive gaps to put his foe away
with a bomb of a right hand. Referee Declarn Larkin rescued an
unconscious Shaheen at 1:18 of the second stanza.
The first fight on the main card came at a 139-pound, when Ali Guliev/a>
(6-0) handed Rana
Rudra Pratap Singh (11-1) his career first defeat. Singh made
Singh pay for coming in four pounds heavy, although the match was
marred with a major foul. With Singh’s knee down, Guliev blasted
him early with an illegal knee round reminiscent of Petr Yan vs.
Aljamain
Sterling this past week. Although Singh decided to continue and
Guliev was deducted two points, the former never seemed to recover.
As soon as Guliev landed punches, Singh went down, and the referee
called a halt to the contest at 1:34 of the first frame.
