Tajikistan’s Khurshed Nazarov is set to make his BRAVE Combat Federation debut at BRAVE CF 82 on May 11 in Mauritius when he takes on Zimbabwe’s Nicholas Hwende in the co-main event.
This fight will have major implications on the Bantamweight Division, as Nazarov has an undefeated track record and Hwende is just a few steps away from a title shot. The debut of Khurshed Nazarova, beyond the implications for the Bantamweight Division, once again highlights the commitment of BRAVE CF to the Central Asia Region.
BRAVE CF is a platform that has provided MMA athletes in the region with a global stage. Nazarov is the latest to receive this benefit. This move reflects BRAVE CF’s longstanding vision for Central Asia, which began with the promotion’s early ventures into the region, starting with BRAVE CF 6 held in Kazakhstan shortly after its inception. The organization then expanded its reach with events in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Its role as a driving force for the growth of MMA in Central Asia was solidified.
BRAVE CF, in addition to hosting events in Central Asia, has played a key role in the development of MMA stars in Central Asia. Central Asian athletes have a long list. Here are some of the best examples.
