Nelspruit Fight Night is back!
Nelspruit Fight Night is back with the 8th event taking place at the Grove Centre, ex-Meltz building on Saturday March 29.
NFN is a Mixed Martial Arts event and features Nelspruit-based fighters taking on Johannesburg challengers.
Fights consist of three rounds, each three minutes. Matches start standing in a 6m hexagon shaped cage, punches, kicks and submissions are allowed. A referee and judges adjudicate the bout and ensure that the rules are followed.
A night of MMA action is a night of guaranteed excitement and adrenaline-fuelled fun. What a lot of people don’t realise is that the fighters are skilled martial artists and train as hard, or even harder, than most amateur athletes, often twice a day, six times a week.
NFN always delivers great entertainment however, Craig McFadyen and Bertus Coetzee, both former fighters and NFN organisers say there are some very good bouts lined up on this Fight Card.
With 20 fights on the night and a number of those featuring local fighters against tough Gauteng opposition, fans are in for a real treat.
With the likes of local talent such as Jedri Koekemoer, Quinten Graaff, Joggie Venter, Marcus Olivier, Linda Van Staden and many more fighting on the night, NFN 8 promises to deliver one of the best events yet.
Jedri is known for his accurate punching and devastating stand-up with 9 fights to his name, Quinten, an 8 fight veteran, is a tough fighter who just won’t give up, Joggie is known for his stand-up skill and Marcus is a heavyweight with knockout power.
Pieter de Klerk from Middleburg is on a 4-fight win streak, while Linda is one of the few ladies who compete in the sport.
Having won her last fight in an exciting three round match, she is confident in her chances against a good stand-up fighter from Gauteng. Professional EFC fighters such as Dewald Botes, Jacques Joubert, JP Joubert, Danie Van Heerden and Lourens Botes will be at the event supporting their fighters.
