It all goes down this Saturday (October 6) as the best-of-the-best from around the world, including Germany, USA, Scotland, Poland and more descend upon Carnival City for EFC 74.
Athletes gathered at Carnival City on September 29 for the official open workout.
Fans were witness to athletic feats, interviews and face-offs, all in the build-up to a highly-anticipated fight night.
In what many pundits are predicting to be ‘the fight to watch’, South Africa’s Tumisang Madiba and Zimbabwe’s Sylvester Chipfumbu got the crowd pumped up with intense pad work.
While their moods were cheerful, their intention for Saturday night was felt by all.

An outspoken man, Conrad Seabi put on a quick and light display on the pads and followed up with serious smack talk directed at his German opponent, Max Merten.
“He is a truck, I am a Porsche,” said Seabi.
“I am fast and quick compared to that slow bodybuilder.
“I am going to knock him out,” he added.
It was then time for Saturday’s main event to take centre stage.
Murrie showed off his unorthodox striking and slick Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that he has become synonymous for.
Meanwhile, the champ Kabesa put on a clinical display showing off all aspects of mixed martial arts (MMA) along with teammate and flyweight champion, Nkazimulo Zulu.
It was when the two men faced-off for the first time, that the mood truly took a serious turn.
Kabesa raised the belt in declaration of his continued reign over the division. Meanwhile, Murrie insisted that the belt would be returning to Scotland with him.
