With the start of EFC 116, EFC fight fans were officially into the second half of the ‘fight year’. With five fight cards completed, consisting of 63 bouts between 94 fighters, the year was off to a decent start. The question on this writer’s mind was, would the EFC 116 card live up to the […]
Going into EFC 113, who would ever have thought that 26 fighters from 6 countries (2 continents) would put on an event that would result in the most pulsating, yet frustrating, night this writer can remember in the longest time! Unlike the low attendance at EFC 112, there was a far bigger turnout last night […]
In an attempt to keep the EFC Light Heavyweight division active, the EFC have paired an “annual fighter” with an inconsistent figher for the right to strap the EFC gold around their waist! Jailson Souza has fought once a year since 2021 and for that dedicated commitment to the EFC and his craft, he has […]
EFC 99 MAIN CARD Igeu Kabesa (14-2) vs. Bradley Swanepoel (5-0) – Featherweight Championship Fight Kabesa was only 6-0 when he first fought and beat Danny Hendry for his first Featherweight strap at EFC 47. Since then he has lost and won back the title on 2 occassions (EFC 57 – Loss to Danny Hendry; […]
Titles for Everyone! EFC 96 was most certainly an event filled with many title fight conversations! Starting with that early 3rd round liver-kick that extended his winning streak, and based on the recent modus operandi of the EFC, Tapiwa Katikati (4-0) should be receiving his title-shot contract in the very near future. Bradley Swanepoel announced himself ready – both […]
The main event of EFC 94 witnessed the only EFC championship defence of the year as Sindile ‘Ghost’ Manengela aimed to defend his EFC Bantamweight strap against Cameron ‘MSP’ Saaiman. The first two rounds belonged to Manengele who used his Judo background to perfection. The momentum shifted in the last three rounds with Saaiman keeping […]
In an attempt to finish off the year with EFC 100, the EFC Organisation staged their second Fight Night event at the EFC Performance Institute in Johannesburg, South Africa on Saturday night. It was a Brave opening of the Main Card with the first 2 encounters having very much a Brave FC feel about them. […]
In these times we generally accept that all our carefully crafted plans can suddenly amount to nothing in the blink of an eye. This was certainly the case for the EFC 91 fight card, when at weigh-ins on Friday morning, 4 fights were pulled from the card due to various medical issues and the co-main […]
The EFC’s Fight Night 1 took place at the EFC Performance Institute in Johannesburg, South Africa on Saturday 9 October and the card delivered some great action from the athletes and some dubious performances from a referee. The Bantamweight main event saw Shana Power defeat Christine Wolmarans by contentious submission early in round 2. The […]
The EFC celebrates their 90th event with their first Fight Night (a la the UFC) taking place this coming Saturday at the EFC Performance Institute in Johannesburg, South Africa. A glimpse at the card highlights that the EFC are following in the footsteps of the UFC where Fight Night events feature lower-profile athletes – marketed as future contenders – […]
