Young local MMA fighter wins impressively at EFC84

The first EFC tournament of the year was presented at the Sun Arena in Menlyn this past weekend and a very young local MMA fighter again showed his potential to be a future champion.

The 19-year old Cameron Saaiman from Pretoria won his second fight as a professional MMA fighter at the ECF84 tournament in the Sun Arena, Menlyn on Saturday.

The young fighter made his debut as a professional in December last year at the age of 18 when he defeated Corné Blom at EFC83.

Saaiman won his second fight at this level in such an impressive way against Zwelebanzi Ngema via TKO (punches), that he received a performance bonus from the organizers of the tournament.

A great future is predicted for Saaiman in this popular sport.
