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 […]
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 […]
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. Secondly, the #TF2 Finale which would determine the contender for the Ladies Flyweight Strap.Thirdly, the much anticipated return of Garreth “Soldierboy” McLellan, arguably […]
Building up to EFC75, I was rather skeptical about the the fight card with too many questions about what fans would be treated to, but to many people’s surprise, we witnessed a fantastic mix of fights and some MIND BLOWING KO’s! The opening 2 fights of the undercard delivered debutantesque performances until a certain Khulekani […]
