And that's not all: the expectation is that there will be a title fight in the second event in Brave's history in Brazil. The event will take place on August 12th, possibly in Curitiba.

The favorite to fight for the Brave belt is Lucas “Mineiro” Martins, a former UFC fighter. After debuting with an impeccable submission over Fabián Galván in the main fight of Brave 3 in March, a title shot was promised at featherweight against the current champion of the category, Elias Boudegzdame, who became the first champion in the company's history by winning Masio Fullen in Brave 4

The organization also has other Brazilian stars on its roster, such as Brazilian Fighter of the Year Luan “Miau” Santiago”, X-Gym fighters Paulo “Bananada” and Vinícius “Thunder” Cruz, as well as former UFC fighter Leonardo “Macarrão ” Mafra, welterweight Thiago “Monstro” Vieira and flyweight standout Felipe Efrain.
