With less than 24 hours to go until BRAVE CF 83, fighters completed their pre-fight rituals, facing off in the Netherlands on Friday, May 24 in the official BRAVE CF 83 Staredowns.
Ahead of the super welterweight main event clash tomorrow, Marcin Bandel and Alex Lohore had a respectful face-off. Lohore expressed his honour in fighting Bandel, a former BRAVE CF super welterweight champion, but noted his readiness to “destroy” Bandel to make a statement in his promotional debut.
The most intense face-off occurred between striking legend Youssef Boughanem and Dutch fighter Saad Touijar. Both fighters stared each other down closely, but the encounter did not turn physical as the fighters maintained their composure.
Notably, Noach Blyden and Oskar Herczyk continued their banter ahead of the co-main event clash tomorrow. Blyden has been active on social media, posting entertaining videos in which he humorously expressed fear that Oskar might pull out of the fight since he already had two opponent changes.
Oskar responded playfully, claiming he wanted to “run away,” lightening the mood before their high-stakes showdown tomorrow.
BRAVE CF 83 will take place in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, on Saturday, May 25. The event marks BRAVE Combat Federation’s debut in the Netherlands and will be the organization’s third event of the year following successful outings in Slovenia and Mauritius.
