Mouthwatering fights scheduled
The year 2016 is set to be a massive one for EFC fans, with 10 huge events scheduled throughout the year.
The action will get underway when the EFC lightweight and featherweight titles go on the line as the headlining fights of EFC 47, at Carnival City, on Saturday, March 5.
In the main event of the evening, American Dave “The Pain Train” Mazany is set to challenge South Africa’s dominant lightweight champion, Leon “Iron Lion” Mynhardt.
Mazany made a massive impact on EFC when he defeated the first ever lightweight champion, Wentzel Nel, in a non-title fight almost five years ago.
In 2015, Mazany made his charismatic return to the hexagon with an impressive second round TKO over former contender Sibusisu Mdoko.
Mazany laid claim to the belt and the right to be the number one contender in his post-fight interview.
Now is his chance to prove he is deserving of the belt, but standing in his way is the sublime and ferocious striking of Mynhardt.
The “Iron Lion” is the most dominant champion in the history of the lightweight division, and is the fan favourite to take another victory.
Plus, the man who caused one of the biggest upsets in EFC history by defeating former champ Boyd Allen, Scotland’s Danny Henry, returns to prove why he is the best in the organisation.
In his first featherweight title defence he is set to take-on the DRC’s undefeated Igeu “Smiley” Kabesa.
Henry had a stellar year in 2015, winning all three his fights inside the hexagon, all within the space of four months.
Kabesa has been antagonising Henry and calling for his shot since claiming the belt in October.
Now, riding a six fight winning streak, the wrestling phenomenon has dropped down to featherweight in order to challenge for the belt as he looks to build his own legacy.
