Brave 12: Gaziev signs to face Mafra

Manama : Gadzhimusa Gaziev has signed to face the former UFC fighter, Leonardo Mafra at Brave 12: KHK Legacy hosted in Jakarta, Indonesia. 

Gaziev had moved to the Middleweight division of Brave Combat Federation after three bouts in the welterweight division of the promotion. 

Gaziev debuted in the first edition of Brave Combat Federation as a replacement for Mohammad Fakhreddine, to face Thiago Vieira. 

In the bout, Gaziev shocked the fans by handing over the first defeat in the career of Thiago Vieira. 

Gaziev won the fight by knock out also putting an end to the eight fight win streak of Vieira. However the next two fights ended up with disappointing losses against Carl Booth and Erik Carlsson. 

Gaziev had been looking to bounce back with a victory in the promotion. The event also marks the first fight of Mafra with Brave Combat Federation. 

Both the fighters will be competing for the first time in Indonesia. The fight night will take place at May 11 at Balai Sarbini in Jakarta.
