EFC 42 at the GrandWest Casino

One of the most intense showdowns in the EFC is about to take place in the Mother City

The world’s biggest mixed martial arts tournament is about to smash down the doors of the GrandWest Grand Arena on Saturday, 8 August 2015. With 12 bouts on the fight card (five on the main card and seven preliminary bouts), this is going to be an action-packed fighting frenzy that with get your adrenaline surging. If you simply can’t wait to watch live fighting action then check out the Cape Fight League’s next instalment in Camps Bay as a warm-up.

Two of the most extreme fighters in The Extreme Fighting Championship (EFC) are set to face-off in a light heavyweight title bout. Defending champion Norman ‘The Chef’ Wessels will go toe-to-toe with Champion Dalcha from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The rivalry between the two athletes has become intense, to say the least, in the lead up to the showdown. So they will both be putting their hearts into the highly anticipated fight.

Also stepping into the hexagon on the night will be Tumelo ‘The Truck’ Maphutha who will be fighting Mark Vlieger, the Belgian kickboxer making his EFC debut. Both athletes are also competing in the light heavyweight class.

Plus, we have the former lightweight contender Sibusiso ‘The Monster’ Mdoko taking on American fighter Dave Mazany. Mazany is making his return to EFC after a five year absence, and will be stopping at nothing to prove his worth.

EFC president Cairo Howarth says; “The event is going to be epic. There are so many big names on the fight card and we were only able to feature a handful of them in the show. This gives testament to how exciting a fight card this is.”
