MMA – MAJA and Domen Drnovsek etched their names into mixed martial arts (MMA) history by becoming the first married couple to both compete and win on the same fight card at the recently held BRAVE CF 106, which lit up Tivoli Hall in Ljubljana, Slovenia earlier this month.
The pair were part of the supporting card and they delivered a rare family milestone that will be remembered across combat sports.
Maja set the tone with an authoritative performance, submitting Poland’s Wiktoria Wojciechowska via first-round arm-triangle choke in their women’s flyweight bout.
Meanwhile, Domen faced the tougher assignment, battling Hungary’s Istvan ‘Assassin’ Juhasz in a 73kg catchweight clash.
Over three hard rounds, he relied on steady output and persistence before earning a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards.
Two separate fights, two separate victories, and one joint breakthrough that had been years in the making
The Drnovseks describe themselves as “partners in life, teammates in battle” – a philosophy shaped by years of shared discipline in martial arts.
Their journey has been defined by setbacks as much as milestones.
At BRAVE CF 102 in November of 2025, they became the first married couple to compete in the same event. Maja authored a successful professional debut against Ghita Chafik, while Domen’s bout against Lucian Dragomir ended in a no-contest due to an accidental eye poke, denying them a shared victory.
The dream remained unfinished until BRAVE CF 106 turned it into reality.
In a sport built on individual pursuit, the Drnovseks delivered something rare: a dual victory forged through shared sacrifice, shared discipline, and a partnership that now stands alone in MMA history.
