Pretoria’s ‘Demolition Jacqui’ in action at EFC 66

Jacqualine Trosee will also be given the opportunity to fight in front of her local fans at EFC 66 in Menlyn on 16 December.

The final EFC event of the year EFC 66, got even bigger with the addition of a women’s bantamweight bout between South Africa’s Jacqualine Trosee and Morocco’s Rizlen Zouak on the prelim card.

Trosee, known as ‘Demolition Jacqui’, was last seen in action fighting Amanda Lino for the flyweight title. She lost that fight, but was awarded a performance bonus for her incredible and valiant war.

Now moving up a weight division, she will be stronger and meaner than ever, without the vigour’s of a hectic weight cut. A Pretoria girl, that packs a punch, she trains out Warrior Sports and will surely have the entire arena chanting her name in support on 16 December.

Zouak represents Morroco but lives and fights out of Paris, France. Training at the famous MMA Factory, her combat sports résumé includes two Olympic Games appearances for Judo and multiple national and international championships. Undefeated in MMA, Zouak wants her third straight finish to end off a fantastic year.

This fight takes place on the prelim card just ahead of the EFC bantamweight unification fight between Demarte Pena and Irshaad Sayed 2, EFC heavyweight championship and TF1 Finale.

The news about Trosee’s participation follows shortly after the announcement that another Pretoria fighter, the upcoming star Quaid Openshaw, will be in action against Mark Kamba form the DRC at EFC 66.

EFC 66 Pena vs Sayed 2, the TF1 Finale, will take place on Saturday 16 December at Time Square (Menlyn Maine) in Pretoria. Tickets are on sale at computicket.com . More information is available at efcworldwide.com.
