BRAVE 107 is the continuation of a successful international series that has placed Bulgaria and Burgas firmly on the global MMA map.
At BRAVE 86 in August 2024, the Black Sea city welcomed thousands of spectators for its first event under the banner of the world's most global MMA organization—an unforgettable night that marked the beginning of a new era for Bulgarian combat sports.
One year later, at BRAVE 97 on July 12, 2025, Arena Burgas was once again packed to capacity. Stoyan Koprivlenski knocked out Kubilay Tarhan in a K-1 super fight, Anton Yanchev submitted Johan Van De Hel without breaking a sweat, and Plamen Penchev scored a brutal knockout over French knockout artist Sofiane Boafia.
Now, on August 1, 2026, the third chapter of this story will be written—and it promises to be the biggest one yet.
BRAVE 107 arrives at the peak of the summer season, when the sea is buzzing, the beaches of Burgas, Sunny Beach, Nessebar, Sveti Vlas, and Sozopol are packed with visitors, and the city transforms into one of Europe's hottest tourist destinations. What better way to end the perfect summer weekend than spending the morning on the beach, the afternoon enjoying cocktails by the sea, and the evening inside Arena Burgas, right next to the cage of one of the world's premier MMA organizations?
Taking place on August 1 at Arena Burgas, BRAVE 107 proudly presents its full Bulgarian delegation—10 of the nation's finest combat athletes, ready to defend Bulgaria's honor on the global stage.
Stoyan "The Sniper" Koprivlenski – The 2024 K-1 World MAX Champion, who knocked out three-time world champion Kubilay Tarhan at BRAVE 97, returns home for another K-1 super fight.
Pavel "The Werewolf" Vladev – The Burgas native boasts a 10-1 record with 8 knockouts and is renowned for his aggressive style and spectacular finishes. After his scheduled BRAVE 97 bout was canceled due to his opponent's medical suspension, the Werewolf is finally set to return to action.
Anton Yanchev – The undefeated Burgas technician (4-0), who has trained at Climent Club alongside UFC champion Ilia Topuria and at AllStars Stockholm with Khamzat Chimaev. Both of his BRAVE appearances ended with first-round submissions.
Kaloyan Kolev – Bulgaria's powerhouse light heavyweight with a 12-1 record and a previous appearance on Dana White's Contender Series. He is seeking redemption after his draw against Algerian veteran Mohamed Said Maalem at BRAVE 97.
