The injury bug strikes again as Sweden’s Guram Kutateladze was forced to pull from the upcoming Lightweight title fight against Cleiton “Predator” Silva at BRAVE CF 35, in Brazil. BRAVE CF officials have confirmed the information about Guram’s injury.
According to sources close to the situation, Guram Kutateladze suffered a rib fracture during his last sparring sessions ahead of the trip to Brazil. The length of Kutateladze’s recovery, though, was not informed by his team nor BRAVE CF officials.
