The UFC’s Apex Facility made the UFC look like many amateur promotions here in SA, large open spaces, loads of echo and more lights than fans. This amateur feel was further compounded by the bizarre interview process implemented by the UFC this time round, most probably prompted by the NSAC. I now understand the reason […]
Desperation levels at the UFC are high! Endeavor and the UFC are really desperate to get their fighting faces on. This is the underlying sentiment if one understands firstly, that Endeavor, the US-based sports and entertainment group whose assets include the UFC, is planning to sell part of its stake in US video game and […]
This weekend sees the the return of Combat Sports to live TV and while there are many views on the vehement approach by Dana White and the UFC organisation to get things going again, I for one am kinda looking forward to seeing some PunchKicky action return to our screens. The great news is they […]
Prelim Prima-Donnas In what now can be described as one of the last major sporting events with fans in a stadium environment, the first event of 2020 for the EFC Organisation was a real mixed bag. The Prelims were marred by Mark Kamba withdrawing from his fight while standing in the cage apparently as a […]
With only days to go until the Proteas’ first Test against England at SuperSport Park, one cannot help but think that there is so much more at stake than yet another Test Match defeat! The Proteas are currently on a five Test Match skid – a loss-streak that has only occurred once in their history […]
If this is the new and improved Elvis Ngwalangwala, then I like him very much! His dominante performance in the first 2 rounds had Strydom gasping for air throughout the 3rd. His victory snaps his 2-fight skid. A cool, calm and composed Cameron Saaiman announced his arrival on the professional MMA scene with a performance […]
With just on a month to go until the final EFC event of 2019, I cannot help thinking that the EFC must be happy that this year is almost done. What was meant to be a celebratory year following 10 years of building Professional MMA on the African Continent gradually turned into a nightmare following […]
It was about this time last year that we wrote about the impending battle between EFC and BraveCF, when the latter announced that they would be challenging the former by hosting their inaugural South African event on the same night as EFC. Well fast-forward to the present day and the EFC faces yet another battle, […]
Can we all agree that the hype around KSI v Logan Paul 2 was just that ….HYPE….nothing more! The fight was an utter slug fest between the 2 YouTubers that reminded me of a school-yard brawl rather than the main event headlining two legitimate World Title fights. The initial knock down by KSI was deemed […]
Following an incredible result for the Springboks at the Rugby World Cup Final 2019, it’s still rather surreal that we are the World Champions for the 3rd time. The victory is made all the more sweeter when one considers that the Springboks are the only nation to boast a 100% win record in Rugby World […]
