Win tickets to EFC 57 at Carnival City

If you’re an ardent EFC fan, you will be thrilled to know that the Brakpan Herald has five double tickets up for grabs for the upcoming EFC 57 at Carnival City.

The EFC 57 main card, scheduled for Saturday, March 4, features many of the organisation’s biggest names.

It is headlined by the title fight between undefeated champion Igeu “Smiley” Kabesa and Scotland’s Danny Henry; and the main card also features two massive heavyweight fights and two more exciting match-ups.

The first event of the year is around the corner and is not to be missed.

In a highly anticipated rematch for the championship, Kabesa and Henry meet for the second time; however, it is predicted that this will be a completely different fight from the first one.

Video from EFC Worldwide’s YouTube page: 

Kabesa has since moved to a new camp, while Henry has been demolishing his way through the opposition to return to the top of the division.

Henry is coming in hungry to reclaim the gold and avenge his only EFC loss.

Elvis Moyo was so extremely close to becoming the only ever EFC Zimbabwean champion, until he made a vital error that cost him his title fight.

Undeterred, Moyo wants another shot at gold, but he must first face a man with monumental momentum, Michael Vermeulen, better known as “The Tank”.

Vermeulen is riding a four-fight winning streak, all early finishes, and believes now is his time for gold.

A win for either man will surely see them as the heavyweight number one contender.

South African MMA legend, Martin “The Punisher” van Staden is the most experienced athlete in the organisation and has a massive KO/TKO record.

Having made the move to the lighter division, he will now face a British/Spanish stand-out, also with monstrous experience spanning Europe and Asia.

Two aggressive KO artists will collide and only one will walk away the victor.

Heavyweight Wessel Mostert is undefeated as a professional and in amateur competition.

Having won the amateur world championships, he has now set his eye on the ultimate prize.

In his biggest test yet, he will face England’s Tony Mustard.

The Englishman was last seen in the Hexagon against Andrew van Zyl.

Both men hold one-hundred per cent finish rates, and both men have so much to gain with a victory on 4 March.

Opening the main card sees middleweight fan favourite, South Africa’s Gordon ‘Rage’ Roodman, battle “The Bulgarian Beast” Georgie Georgiev.

Roodman brings his own unique style of big overhand rights, but he is brash and Georgiev, who is more calculated, is also incredibly accurate.

With simple combinations, the young Georgiev has stopped his last two opponents early in the first round.

The embodiment of what one imagines of a super soldier, Georgiev will be an incredibly tough challenge for Roodman.
