Despite being from and based in Sweden, Jacobsson competed outside of his home country the majority of his career. He racked up a decent 3-2 record, including a win over Danish prospect Thomas Jessing, but last year would be his most noteworthy in terms of the attention his career received. Firstly he challenged more or less every active Swedish fighter in his weight class, taking jabs at them on social media, until he finally got a willing opponent. Jacobsson began by completely shutting down Saeed Ganji in the former’s debut in Sweden, and followed up with a first round TKO win just two weeks later. He then capped off his fantastic run with a submission win at Cage 50 in Finland in February of this year.

Movlonov trains at Allstars Training Center alongside all time greats like Alexander Gustafsson and Ilir latifi. He is an experienced Judoka who made his professional MMA debut at Superior Challenge 14 in 2016, defeating Elio Caiaffa via strikes in the very first round. He followed up at the promotion’s following event with yet another first round finish this time via submission.

Who wins at Brave 38 – David Jacobsson or Dilmurod Movlonov?
