Daily Tribune01-06-2025
BRAVE Combat Federation returned to the Canary Islands with BRAVE CF 95 in collaboration with regional promotion Fight 2 One, a thrilling fight night that delivered finishes, upsets, and statement-making performances from rising stars and seasoned veterans alike. The energy was electric in Tenerife as fans witnessed eight exciting bouts filled with drama, heart, and world-class martial arts.
In the main event, hometown hero Acoidan Duque defended his turf in a razor-close battle against France's Jason Ponet. Known for his ability to win in enemy territory, Ponet gave Duque everything he had, but it was Duque who edged out a split decision win, putting an end to Ponet's impressive away-day streak.
The co-main event saw a major upset as Kazakhstan's Dias off a dominant performance and solidified Zoud as a name to watch in the division.
The night also featured a potential Fight of the Year contender as Theo Bashford and Eduard Evdokimov went to war in a back-and-forth battle. Bashford survived an early knockdown and roared back to score a dramatic third-round TKO with a stunning head kick.
Yerengaipov stunned former BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion Jose 'Shorty' Torres in a close fight. Yerengaipov's sharp striking and relentless pace proved enough for the judges to sway his way on Torres' long-awaited return to Flyweight.
Earlier on the card, Christian Mach delivered one of the night's most memorable performances with a second-round TKO over Spanish veteran Enrique Marín. Mach's explosive head kick followed by a barrage of strikes marked a major moment in his career.
Another standout showing came from Abdelkrim Zoud, who displayed both power and technique in his submission victory over Muslim Danaev via D'arce choke. The finish capped TKO with a stunning head kick.
Other results included Jakub Drozdowski earning a unanimous decision win over Juan Izquierdo, Ilia Qarukhnishvili outpointing Daan Duijs, and Reda Abdellaoui starting the night with a slick rear-naked choke win over Morau Gheorghe.
With BRAVE CF 95 in the books, the promotion once again proved why it is home to some of the best talent in the world. From shocking upsets to breakout performances, Tenerife witnessed a night to remember.

De Minaur battles to DC Open crown

Australia's Alex De Minaur saved three match points on his way to a battling 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (7/3) victory over Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina to clinch the ATP Tour DC Open crown on Sunday. Seventh seed De Minaur looked to be heading for defeat against his 12th-seeded Spanish opponent after trailing 5-2 in the deciding set in Washington. But Davidovich Fokina -- chasing the first ATP title of his career after losing in three previous final appearances -- failed to capitalise on his hefty lead. The Spaniard appeared to tighten when serving for the match at 5-3 up to allow De Minaur to claw it back to 5-4. But Davidovich Fokina responded to that missed opportunity by then earning three match points on De Minaur's serve in the next game. Yet once again, the Spaniard was unable to take advantage and De Minaur survived to hold serve and level the match at 5-5. The next two games went on serve to set up the tie break and De Minaur was quickly in control, sealing victory on the first of three match points with an ace, to settle a 3hr 2mins slugfest. De Minaur said he had never doubted his ability to turn around the final. 'I just kind of knew I could do it,' De Minaur said in his oncourt interview. 'I just backed myself to commit no matter what, and if I lost this match, it was going to be on my terms. 'I've had a couple of brutal ones not go go my way, so I'm glad this one went my way,' the 26-year-old from New South Wales said. The win was another agonizing setback for Davidovich Fokina, who had already reached -- and lost -- two other finals this season. The defeat echoed his loss in the final at Delray Beach in February, when he was unable to convert two match points before losing to Miomir Kecmanovic. 'Congratulations to Alex, he deserved the win,' Davidovich Fokina said. 'He was fighting for every ball. He always pushed me to my limits.'
