Buys brings down Biko
Buys made an emphatic statement with his performance to become the undisputed champion.
Two title bouts were fought at EFC 78 at GrandWest Casino in Cape Town on the night of April 13, with one belt changing hands.
Former Brakpan resident JP Buys unified his bantamweight title with a dominating performance against Luthando Biko.
In the co-main event, the UK’s Jake Hadley proved himself to the world with an unforgettable performance, in an unforgettable fight against South Africa’s Nkazimulo Zulu, ending his flyweight reign.
The bout between Buys and Biko shattered expectations from the start.
Biko, the renowned pressure and top control wrestler, revealed crisp stand up that had Buys’ head snapping back throughout the round.

However the champion was unhurt, and ended the round with a crisp takedown and cruel hammer fists to the side of Biko’s head.
The second round ushered in a battle of the wrestlers, and a completely different fight.
Buys utterly dominated Biko with expert transitions and control.
Buys, of course, honed his wrestling skills as a youngster at Brakpan Wrestling Club.
For two rounds he battered his opponent, until a broken Biko finally subsided to ground and pound in the fourth round.
