EFC AFRICA 10 - One week to go!
Aug 25, 2011 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Only seven days left until EFC AFRICA 10, where
26 of the continent’s most spectacular mixed martial artists will
do battle. In addition to two title fights and many experienced
crowd favourites, a number of talented new arrivals are fighting
fit and eager to establish themselves in the world’s most exciting
combat sport.
Fans across the globe can catch the MMA extravaganza live over the internet, free to all. Share the excitement as it happens by simply logging on to http://www.efcafrica.com/livestream_10.html from 7.30pm SA time.
For the evening’s main event, Dallas
Jakobi will challenge current EFC AFRICA welterweight champion
Adam ‘The Prodigy’ Speechly for his title. Jakobi recently made the
cut from middleweight to welterweight, with a string of explosive
victories behind him, but Speechly has already proven that he is
the continent’s number 1 ranked welterweight for a very good
reason. The second title fight of the evening will produce EFC
AFRICA’s very first featherweight champion. Top contenders ‘King’
Leo
Gloss and Demarte ‘The Wolf’ Pena will battle it out in EFC
AFRICA’s lightest weight class.
Other highlights include welterweight bouts pitting Nolan ‘Real Deal’ Swanepoel against Leon ‘Iron Lion’ Mynhardt, and Martin ‘The Punisher’ van Staden against Francois Kabulu. EFC AFRICA 10 also marks the return of fan favourites Jacques Joubert and Paul Terblanche at middleweight, while a host of new fighters such as Wesley Hawkey, Michiel Opperman, Daniel Sinclair, Abdul Hassan, Thumelo Maputa, Ryan de Vasconcellos, Keith Theologo and Francois Groenewald begin their EFC AFRICA careers.
