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 […]
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 […]

The build-up to EWC 11 over the past few weeks gave a hint to the fact that the EWC promotion had undergone a bit of a change. Firstly it was the new, cleaner look of their new logo. Next it was the fact that their fight-&-dine format of the past 2 events was no longer […]
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 […]
It has been more than 6 months since EWC last put on a fight event and what a return the chaps at EWC made in their first event back on the local Amateur circuit. The fight card was littered with a host of debutants among the 15 fights and promised to finish off with a […]
Judging is still impacting negatively on athletes and their careers! Yet again we have a situation where the basics of the 10-point Must System have been disregarded.
