Drnovšek Fighting Family Makes History at Brave CF
LJUBLJANA, SLOVENIA — In a groundbreaking move for the world of combat sports, WFC and Brave CF have confirmed a truly special event for their upcoming show on November 23, 2025. For the first time, a fighting couple—Domen Drnovšek and his wife, Maja Povšnar Drnovšek—will compete on the same fight card, making it a monumental moment for both their family and the global MMA community.
Domen Drnovšek, a celebrated Slovenian MMA fighter and a familiar face to Brave CF fans, is known for his powerful performances and unwavering determination inside the cage. He will now share the spotlight with his partner in life and in sport, Maja.
Maja Povšnar Drnovšek is a formidable force in her own right. A black belt in both Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, she is a world and European champion with a remarkable list of accolades to her name. While Domen has been a staple in the professional MMA world, Maja is preparing for her highly anticipated professional MMA debut, adding an extra layer of excitement to an already historic event.
The couple’s journey is a testament to their shared passion. They met through their dedication to martial arts, and their lives have been intertwined ever since. Their fighting careers, previously pursued in different disciplines, are now converging on the grand stage of Brave CF.
What makes this event even more poignant is the personal significance. The couple’s young daughter will be in the audience, watching her parents make history together. Their story transcends the cage, showcasing a family united by discipline, respect, and a love for the sport.
The announcement of this joint appearance has already created a buzz among fans, media, and fellow athletes. While other married couples have competed in combat sports, Domen and Maja's joint appearance on such a prominent card is a rare and inspiring moment that embodies the spirit of courage and partnership.
As the countdown begins for November 23, 2025, all eyes will be on Ljubljana as this power couple steps into the cage, not just as individual fighters, but as a team ready to inspire the next generation of athletes—including their own.
