Canberra’s own rising star Paul ‘The Brawler’ Franchi will collide in a massive lightweight clash when he battles tough as nails Central Coast fighter Adam ‘The Gravedigger’ Oxenbridge in what’s expected to be a barnburner.

In welterweight action, James O’Brien will be looking to impress in front of his hometown fans as he goes up against an experienced scrapper in the form of Newcastle’s Troy Toby.

Heavy hitting local Ali Kocak will look to use his strength and striking against the more experienced Newcastle fighter Leo Diaz in a firecracker of a welterweight tournament clash – this fight has all the makings of fight of the night.

BRACE 34 also features a stacked undercard featuring a host of talented Canberra fighters including Reza Almasi, Dimitar Dimitrovski and more. Come out and support your local fighters as they will be looking for all the hometown support they can get.

As if that’s not enough – American Steve McKinnon, fighting out of Mitchell ACT, will look to use his wrestling and Jiu Jitsu skills against the experienced striker and grappling sensation, Peter ‘The Caged Animal’ Cross, in the Main event. This mega clash in the bantamweight division will be explosive as two of Australia’s best Bantamweights will finally meet inside the cage and both are coming to take each other out.

BRACE CEO Kya Pate had this to say, “If you want to see Australia’s best MMA fighters battle it out in the cage here is your chance. Championship glory is hard to come by so make no mistake; these fighters are coming to win. What I love about our events is there’s one super fight after another, I can’t wait.
