Final EFC event of 2016 is going to be ‘Powerful’
Headlined by two championship bouts and a mega middleweight matchup.
EFC 56, the final event of 2016, comes to Carnival City on the night of Friday, December 9.
A fantastic fight card awaits fight fans with the featherweight and middleweight titles up for grabs.
Another fight that is set to be a newsmaker is the return of Shan “Titanium” Power who will face Jacqualin “Demolition Jacqui” Trosee in a women’s flyweight fight.
Power was set to face Amanda Lino for the inaugural EFC women’s flyweight championship in Sun City earlier this year, when tragedy struck.
Power had issues making weight, which quickly turned into a medical concern and the fight was called-off.
Now, she is looking to reclaim her spot at the top of the division when she takes on Trosee.
Due to potential medical concerns for Power, she will meet Trosee at a heavier catchweight of 58kg, to test if she can safely cut down.
Power is undefeated in EFC, having starched England’s Kirsty Davis with a first round TKO and completely controlling all three rounds against Italy’s Micol Di Segni to get the unanimous decision victory.
Her skills have never been in question – now if she can safely make the weight cut looms over her.
Trosee made a memorable debut, when she used her superior power and striking to dominate the Hungarian Zita Varju with a second round TKO.
While she got caught very early in her bout with Lino, she has shown a hunger and tenacity to get back into the winning column and to the top of the division.
There will be additional girl power at EFC 56 when Danella Eliasov faces Spain’s Irene “La Nina” Cabello Rivera in a women’s strawweight bout.
Power versus Trosee and Eliasov versus Cabello Rivera takes place on the prelim card of EFC 56 ahead of the five-fight main card headlined by two championship bouts and a mega middleweight matchup.
