On Saturday, October 18, BRAVE CF hosted BRAVE CF 99, live from Twinsbet Arena in Vilnius, Lithuania. In the main event Lithuania’s own Pavel Dailidko put his BRAVE CF heavyweight strap on the line against France’s Gregory Robinet. In the co-main Tomas Pakutinskas met Shota Betlemidze.
In the main event the Lithuanian crowd had plenty to celebrate as their man Dailidko made short work of Robinet (who looked pretty overmatched in there). Dailidko scored the first round TKO to defend his title for a second time. He’s now 11-2 as a pro.
In the co-main event the crowd saw their man, Pakutinskas, disqualified for punches to the back of Betlemidze’s head.
They had cause to cheer earlier on the card, though. Former TUF contestant Zygimantas Ramaska celebrated a return to Lithuania with an armbar finish over Geysim Derouche.
This event also saw a fight called off due to a cage malfunction. Deivdas Zamba and Robert Masters seemed very keen to fight anyway, even after the no contest decision was read.
