In the main event, former champ and former UFC middleweight Garreth ‘Soldierboy’ McLellan makes his return to the EFC Hexagon for the first time in almost five years to face #TF2 rival coach and TF1 winner Brendan Lesar, for the interim EFC middleweight title.
“It is a great opportunity for me to be in front of the SA fans again. I am coming up against somebody who is just as hungry as I am; who just wants to be as successful as I am in what I do and is gonna fight just as hard,” stated McLellan at a recent press conference.
“I am in a good space and I just want to enjoy the moment and embrace the experience. I am on the main card and going up against an MMA icon in South Africa. I look forward to doing my best,” responded Lesar.
The #TF2 finale takes place as the co-main event and sees the two finalists from the hit reality TV show that has been playing out on television around the world over the past nine weeks.
Also on the main card, the second leg of the EFC welterweight Grand Prix goes-down. Bitter rivals, Conrad Seabi and Luke Michael will finally collide after months of build-up and re-scheduling due to injuries. The winner will be named the official No.1 EFC welterweight contender and face Themba Gorimbo in the Grand Prix finals for the vacant welterweight championship.
Tickets are available from Computicket.
