After more than a year away from the cage, former UFC flyweight title challenger Ali Bagautinov is all set to make his return to the sport at Brave CF 46 . The event, which takes place at the WOW Arena in Sochi, Russia, represents the Bahraini promotion’s first foray into Russia, and the organization has stacked the card with Russian talent for the event, with Bagautinov’s return set to feature in the co-main event slot. Bagautinov (18-7) fell short in his bid to capture the Fight Nights Global flyweight strap in his last MMA outing in October 2019, and, during a year away from the cage, he ventured into boxing and defeated Belarusian Fighting Championship (BFC) flyweight MMA champion Andrey Kalechits via unanimous decision last November. Now “Puncher King” is all set for his return to MMA action, and will take on fellow countryman Oleg Lichkovakha in a 130-pound catchweight matchup, with the former UFC veteran keen to return with a win on his Brave CF debut. “I don’t think much of my opponent Oleg,” a confident Bagautinov admitted ahead of their matchup.
