One of the most exciting names in the BRAVE Combat Federation flyweight division returns to the cage this Saturday. Ireland’s Gerard Burns, aka “The Animal,” is set to battle Venezuela’s Alinson Ochoa at BRAVE CF 97 in Burgas, Bulgaria—a fight that could push Burns into title contention.
Representing Fight Academy Ireland, Burns enters on a five-fight win streak, with two dominant BRAVE CF finishes to his name. Known for relentless pressure and a brutal grappling game, Burns is quickly becoming a fan favorite in BRAVE CF’s growing flyweight landscape.
Across the cage, “El Chompiras” Ochoa brings firepower of his own. A former two-division champ on the Latin American circuit, the Venezuelan striker represents Uniq Fight Club and has the kind of knockout potential that makes this a real danger fight for Burns.
The stylistic clash is simple and explosive: Burns wants to wrestle and wear down; Ochoa wants to strike and sleep his opponent. Both fighters bring finishing instincts, and both know a statement win could change their career trajectory inside the BRAVE CF flyweight division.
