MMA – BRAVE Combat Federation returns to Slovenia for the fifth time with BRAVE CF 96 on Saturday, and one of the most anticipated bouts of the night sees hometown favourite David Forster face off against Estonia’s rising star Kristjan Toniste in a super lightweight clash.
Forster, a mainstay of BRAVE CF’s Slovenian cards, is stepping into the cage on home soil for the third time. After a promising start with a win at BRAVE CF 70, he has faced adversity, dropping back-to-back bouts at BRAVE CF 79 and BRAVE CF 81. Now, with the crowd behind him in Ljubljana, he’s on a mission to bounce back and reignite his climb up the super lightweight rankings.
Across the cage stands Toniste, who made a powerful debut at BRAVE CF 81 by dominating hometown grappler Domen Drnovsek over three rounds.
The Estonian showcased crisp striking, relentless pressure, and an unshakable composure en route to a unanimous decision victory that put the division on notice.
For Toniste, BRAVE CF 96 is another step in his bid to climb the ladder and establish himself as a real contender. For Forster, it’s a must-win moment – a chance to turn his fortunes around and reclaim momentum in front of a passionate Slovenian crowd.
With both men hungry and with something to prove, this super lightweight bout promises to deliver fireworks.
