The show will mark the first time Brave CF lands in Colombia; fight night is scheduled for September 7th at the Coliseo Bicentenario in Bucaramanga.
Miranda is a newly-signed prospect for Brave and follows in the steps of teammate Luan ‘Miau’ Santiago, a former title challenger at lightweight, and his master and MMA legend Cristiano Marcello, who recently came out of retirement to join the ranks of Brave. The trio trains out of Curitiba, in Southern Brazil, at the famed CM System academy. ‘Fly’ is a specialist in jiu-jitsu, finishing 11 out of his 12 career wins by way of submission.

The Peruvian is also a submission specialist, finishing three of his five wins by sub.
Brave 15 will serve as the debut of former TUF Brazil finalist Godofredo Pepey, who will take on Alex ‘Rolo’ Torres in the main event. Other bouts for the September 7th will be announced in the coming days. The promotion also has events set in other six countries by the close of 2018: United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Bahrain, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and India.
