BRAVE CF 108: ANDI VRTAČIĆ SCORES TKO WIN

In the co-main event of the evening, Lasha Abramishvili registered the biggest victory of his career, defeating former BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion Stephen “The Sniper” Loman.

The Georgian took time to adjust to Loman’s heavy striking, but gradually found his rhythm and took control of the contest. Abramishvili displayed excellent shot selection and striking accuracy over the final two rounds to pull away and earn a unanimous decision victory over the Filipino star.

With the statement win, Abramishvili strengthened his case for a shot at the vacant BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Championship

Italy’s Walter “The Snatch” Cogliandro survived a grueling battle with Austrian featherweight Mathias “Son of Mars” Prehofer to walk away with a hard-fought unanimous decision. Right off the bat, Prehofer tirelessly pressed the action against the Italian veteran, hammering hooks from both hands. Cogliandro remained composed throughout, drawing on his experience to counter the Austrian’s aggression with well-timed strikes and persistent takedown attempts. After 15 minutes of back-and-forth action, the three judges ultimately favored Cogliandro on the scorecards.

Slovenia’s Domen “The Armbar Hulk” Drnovsek overcame a difficult opening stretch to defeat Croatian lightweight Erik Pletikos in a come-from-behind victory. Pletikos relied on his striking and takedown defense to control the first five minutes, but Drnovsek made the necessary adjustments, choosing to trade on the feet before shooting for a takedown and applying relentless top pressure. The Slovenian eventually took Pletikos’ back and locked in a rear-naked choke, forcing the Trojan Free Fighters member to tap and sealing the submission win.

Bosnian rising star Amil Tutić delivered another performance to remember, scoring a highlight-reel knockout over Croatia’s Ivan “Carnage” Kiš. Both fighters came out firing from the opening bell, trading offense with relentless intent before Tutić found his opening and perfectly timed a charging Kiš with a devastating knee, sending the Croatian crashing face-first onto the canvas for a resounding finish.

The women’s flyweight bout between Slovenia’s Maja Drnovšek and Polish debutante Aleksandra Sokołowska ended in unfortunate circumstances after Drnovšek landed an illegal but unintentional knee to her grounded opponent in the third round. Sokołowska was ruled unable to continue, with the match ultimately going to the scorecards. Drnovšek was awarded the technical decision after controlling the majority of the contest with her superior grappling, repeatedly taking Sokołowska down and dictating the action on the mat.

Croatian middleweight Luka Vrtačić weathered an early storm from Germany’s Ali “The Gentleman” Hodeib before turning the tide midway through the opening round. Vrtačić continued to impose his will in the second frame, taking the fight to the canvas and unleashing a sustained ground-and-pound assault that forced the stoppage. 

Filip Vidak scored a statement victory over the most experienced opponent of his promising career, defeating fellow Croatian Patrick Pereša in a 73-kilogram catchweight contest. The Legacy Combat Club representative relied on his polished ground game to control the action before securing the submission with a rear-naked choke in the second round.

BRAVE CF 108 opened with an amateur 77-kilogram catchweight tilt, where 2026 IMMAF European Champion Roni Pavlovic of Croatia showcased his potential on the international stage. Pavlovic wasted little time making his presence felt, taking Slovenia’s Nejc Rupreht to the ground and fastening a first-round rear-naked choke to kick off the event in emphatic fashion.
