BRAVE Combat Federation’s hottest new signing Ramazan Gitinov has already mapped out his BRAVE CF journey five days before his promotional debut.
The greatest amateur mixed martial artist yet recently joined the BRAVE CF lightweight stable and will make his much-anticipated first walk to the BRAVE CF cage on June 19 when he faces Morocco’s upcoming star Abderrahman Errachidy on the preliminary card in Riffa, Bahrain, in the first installment of this year’s Kombat Kingdom series.
After changing the game in the amateur ranks, the former three-time IMMAF world champion and multiple-time medalist is now on a mission to take over the professional leagues, predicting that he will wear the prestigious golden BRAVE CF lightweight belt next year.
“I managed to win all existing tournaments in the amateur ranks. From world championships, European, Asian, and Oceania championships to super cups. Some of these I have won several times. Now, it’s time for further development. I need a new challenge, so I have transitioned to the professional leagues,” says the talented MMA phenom currently riding a combined amateur and professional 30-fight win streak.
“I have signed with BRAVE Combat Federation – the fastest-growing promotion – and now I want the same success I enjoyed in amateur ranks. With that said, my immediate goal is to become the BRAVE CF lightweight champion in 2024.”
“BRAVE CF has produced many great champions and athletes. My coach, Eldar Eldarov, is the current super lightweight champion. The promotion is also big on bringing through the best amateurs, they take the most successful athletes on contract, and I plan to showcase why BRAVE CF chose me,” added Bahrain’s Gitinov, who trains out of KHK Team Bahrain.
Gitinov turned professional earlier this year after an impeccable showing at the BRAVE Serbia International Combat Week, where he cemented his triple gold status at the IMMAF World Championships in the welterweight division in Belgrade, Serbia. He now enters the most-global MMA promotion, and the 26-year-old can’t wait to live up to the expectation despite the pressure.
“Excitement is always present for me. The experience gained from all my amateur fights help me to cope with the task at hand. When you have more than 30 fights in your career, it is easier to tune in. On the other hand, given my success, even more, is expected of me as a professional, and it’s a bit of pressure. But I am sure I can handle it. My opponent is also making his debut in BRAVE CF, a good fighter, versatile. I will be tuned in for all three rounds, but I hope to win ahead of schedule in the second round,” concluded the combat sports phenom, who signed a multi-fight deal with BRAVE Combat Federation.
