BRAVE Combat Federation has announced its return to the Netherlands following the tremendous success of the record-breaking BRAVE CF 83. During the announcement, BRAVE CF also released the first set of fighters for the upcoming show, scheduled for September 22 in Alkmaar, a day before the organization’s eighth birthday.
The event, marking BRAVE CF’s second collaboration of the year with European powerhouse Enfusion through its ECE MMA brand, will feature Noach Blyden, Nabil Haryouli, and Clyde Brunswijk.
Blyden will be returning to the BRAVE Combat Federation cage after making a statement in his promotional debut at BRAVE CF 83 which happened in the Netherlands in May. After capturing the attention of the fans with his entertaining videos leading up to the fight, Blyden made a strong impression by securing a first-round knockout against Oskar Herczyk in the co-main event. This victory marked his fourth consecutive first-round finish in MMA, setting the stage for his next fight in the most global MMA organization.
Undefeated Nabil Haryouli was initially scheduled to fight in the co-main event of BRAVE CF 83 but was forced to sit out. An established kickboxer, he currently holds a professional MMA record of four wins and no losses with all his wins coming through stoppages. The much-awaited BRAVE CF debut of Haryouli will now happen at BRAVE CF’s second event in the Netherlands.
Also featured on the fight card is Clyde Brunswijk, who has established himself as a formidable MMA fighter, kickboxer, and boxer. With a professional MMA record of four wins and one loss, Brunswijk has fought in more than 50 kickboxing bouts and will bring his extensive experience to the BRAVE CF cage.
The upcoming event in Alkmaar will be BRAVE Combat Federation’s second event in the Netherlands, following the historic BRAVE CF 83 held in May.
BRAVE CF 83 was the organization’s debut event in the Netherlands, making BRAVE CF the most-hosted MMA organization in Europe, as the Netherlands became the 14th host nation in the continent.
Part of BRAVE Combat Federation’s 2024 Europe Tour, the event is bound to further strengthen the MMA ecosystem in the Netherlands.
