After making a winning return to the cage at Brave CF 46, Russian flyweight contender Ali Bagautinov is targeting championship glory, and hopes to go through a fellow former UFC contender to do it. Bagautinov (19-7) returned to the sport after a 15-month hiatus and defeated Oleg Lichkovakha in the co-main event of Brave CF 46 and declared his intention to join the field for the Bahraini promotion’s upcoming flyweight tournament.

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. So to crown the promotion’s inaugural 125-pound champion, BRAVE CF officials decided to hold a flyweight tournament, which will include four quarterfinal fights featuring eight of the best 125-pounders across the world. In the first quarter-final fight former Titan FC dual-champ Torres (9-1) will face former CFFC flyweight champ Sean Santella . Torres is coming off a unanimous decision win over current UFC flyweight Amir Albazi in his BRAVE CF debut in April 2019.
