BRAVE CF will crown their first ever flyweight champion in a tournament format. The promotion has recently invested in their 125-pound division, adding ex-UFC flyweights Dustin Ortiz , Jose Torres and Zach Makovsky to their ever-growing roster. In November 2018, Russia’s Velimurad Alkhasov defeated Marcel Adur for the vacant flyweight title at BRAVE CF 18 but was not crowned champion due to missing weight.
