BRAVE 107
BRAVE 107 is a continuation of a successful international line that put Bulgaria and Burgas on the world MMA map. At BRAVE 86 in August 2024, the Black Sea city welcomed over thousands of spectators for its first fight under the flag of the most global MMA organization - an evening that marked the beginning of a new era for the native sport. A year later, at BRAVE 97 on July 12, 2025, "Arena Burgas" was again full to the brim - Stoyan Koprivlenski knocked out Kubilay Tarkhan in a super K1 fight, Anton Yanchev finished Johan Van De Hel with a submission without breaking a sweat, and Plamen Penchev recorded a brutal knockout over French knockout artist Sofiane Boafia. Now, on August 1, 2026, the third chapter of this story is being written - and it promises to be the biggest yet. BRAVE 107 comes at the height of the summer season - just when the sea is boiling, the beaches of Burgas, Sunny Beach, Nessebar, Sveti Vlas and Sozopol are full, and the city is becoming one of the hottest tourist destinations in Europe. What better way to end the perfect summer weekend than this - a morning on the beach, an afternoon of cocktails by the sea, and an evening at Arena Burgas in front of the cage of the largest MMA organization in the world?
