Were you one of the many confused fite fans that could not quite work out why the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world had to wait for 2 guys with more than 20 losses between them to finish fighting for the BMF Strap? I sure as hell was, this despite the fact that both Golden […]
Its no secret that MMA in SA is in turmoil and has been for quite some time. From the days when they felt they needed to justify their existence at the emergence of the now failed Last Fighter Standing initiative, to the multitude of promises and commitments made at the inaugural IMMAF All Africa Open, […]
ADMINISTRATIVE BULLSHIT REIGNS SUPREME. It just does not seem to get an easier for the team at Gauteng Fighting Championship (GFC)! Their original 12-fight card was reduced to 5-fights as a result of gyms, in particular the XKT Gyms, advising GFC that they are no longer allowed to compete anywhere else other than their own […]
To truly appreciate the comedy that was EFC 82, let us cast our minds back to the July Social Media revelations by the (then) welterweight title contenders as they blissfully proceeded to justify their GP recommended use of IV vitamin infusions. What made the entire incident more bizarre was the handling of the entire affair […]
It was a night that witnessed a reduced fight card – from 16 fights to 11 fights – due in part to personal issues but also in part to MMASA’s “newly enforced medical suspension rule”! As the story goes, GFC were contacted on the Thursday before the event by MMASA informing them that 2 fighters […]
Hope is a terrible thing! The build-up to EFC80 could quite possibly be summarised as a culmination of a long-standing series of events; firstly, the showdown between Conrad Seabi and Luke Michael.

With less than 2 months to go before South Africans witness the most family-friendly motor sport in the world today, this week saw Ruckus Media in conjunction with World Sports Wrap on Radio Today, give away one set of four combined Pit Party and Event family tickets to one lucky listener. Just what will that lucky […]
After a 7-month hiatus from the Combat Sports Scene, Supreme Fight League (SFL) returned for their 5th event with an absolutely phenomenal card that featured an 8-man elimination tournament for the SuperAm Light Middleweight Title along with the return of a former World Champion, Paul Rothmann, as well as the return to action of former […]
With the South African National Championships less than a week away, I truly have to wonder about the state of the sport in South Africa and I think that IMMAF should be too. Looking at the recent fight cards of the few sanctioned Amateur promotions around Gauteng, namely Fightstars, EWC, RAW and GFC, highlights that […]
Reflecting on the first EFC event of 2019 and if I am to be brutally honest, EFC 77 did not deliver on what should have been a Fantastic Fight Night! Perhaps, being the first event of the year had something to do with it resulting in a Fight Card that promised way too much for […]
