“Soulman”, as he is also known, is coming off a quick victory in his debut for the organization, in December last year, in Kyrgyzstan. On that occasion, Makhazhiev submitted Sanzhar Azhibaev in the first round and expanded his professional record to nine victories and
five defeats.

With 20 wins and just five losses in his career, lucas mineiro chegou ao BRAVE CF ainda nos primórdios da organização e rapidamente se estabeleceu como um dos principais nomes do evento. Em sua mais recente aparição do cage do BRAVE, Mineiro desceu de peso e desafiou Bubba Jenkins pelo título mundial, em julho de 2019. Na ocasião o brasileiro acabou superado pelo rival norte-americano, em combate realizado na cidade de Londres (ING).

BRAVE 35 takes place on March 25th, in Balneário Camboriú. The event marks the organization's fifth visit to the country, making Brazil tied with Bahrain (home of BRAVE) as the nation with the most editions held in history.

The main fight of the night will mark the first title defense of lightweight champion Cleiton “Predador” Silva, against Swede Guram Kutateladze.
