Anton Yanchev continues his impressive run in professional MMA.
The Bulgarian fighter defeated Bachuki Chukaidze by technical knockout in the third round of the main event at BRAVE 107, held in Arena Burgas. This victory marks Yanchev's fifth consecutive win, while it was Chukaidze's first professional MMA loss.
In an uncharacteristic display, Yanchev spent the first half of the round engaging in striking exchanges. The Burgas native showcased excellent long and mid-range striking with straight punches and maintained a high guard defensively. In the final minute of the round, Yanchev significantly hurt his opponent with a right hook. The Georgian fighter, however, maintained his composure, pressed the "GF Team Burgas" protégé against the cage, and survived until the end of the round.
In the second round, the 28-year-old Bulgarian continued his strategy of stand-up boxing, increasingly finding his target and rocking his opponent with straight rights and uppercuts. A minute before the end, Yanchev brought the crowd to its feet with a high kick to Chukaidze's head.
In the final round, Yanchev opened with a swift and skillful takedown, securing a waist lock and immediately transitioning to a dominant mount position. From there, he unleashed a barrage of strikes on his opponent, leading to a technical knockout victory.
