The promotion's upcoming card was set to take place on March 28 at the Balneario Camboriu, Brazil where BRAVE CF's flyweight tournament featuring the likes of UFC veterans Jose Torres and Matheus Nicolau would have kicked off. The card also was to feature a mouthwatering clash for the lightweight title between Cleiton Silva and Luan Santiago.
When contacted regarding the non-payment of fighters, BRAVE CF officials stated that the payment has not been made because the event hasn't been canceled, but postponed, and the fighters will be paid off once the event takes place.
