EFC is set to make a massive return to form within the next five weeks, with its first event since the South African national lockdown, set for 8 May.

According to a statement by EFC, Mega fights, ground-breaking revolutionary changes to MMA and more are also to be revealed soon.

During the lockdown EFC continued to sign additional broadcast deals with the most popular television channels across Africa. So, although for the upcoming months EFC events won’t have fans in attendance in the actual arena, EFC partner brands and athletes will now get more value and promotion across the continent than ever before.

“We are excited about the future of EFC. With this massive new audience that we are gaining, our athletes are eager to get back in action and compete for the top spot. EFC has adapted to this situation, and will be producing the highest quality product”, said EFC President Cairo Howarth.

EFC will host the first live bouts at EFC 85 on 8 May 2021, with 7 further events planned over the remainder of the year. Bout announcements will follow soon.

The schedule for the rest of 2021 is:

• EFC 85: Sat, 8 May 2021
• EFC 86: Sat, 12 June 2021
