Two world title fights on EFC calendar
In addition to these two massive championship fights, there will be eleven more exciting bouts to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
KICKING off what is set to be an action packed year for EFC fans are two world title fights at EFC 47, taking place at Carnival City on March 5. EFC 47 is one of ten huge events which will take place throughout the course of the year and will see the lightweight and featherweight world titles on the line as the headline fights.
In the main event of the evening, American Dave Mazany is set to challenge South Africa’s dominant lightweight champion Leon 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 knock-out over former contender Sibusisu Mdoko. Now it is his chance to prove he deserves the belt, but standing in his way is Mynhardt’s ferocious striking. The ‘Iron Lion’ is the most dominant champion in the history of the lightweight division, and is the fan favourite to take another victory.
Scotland’s Danny Henry returns to take-on DRC’s undefeated Igeu Kabesa. Henry had a stellar year in 2015, winning all three of his fights inside the hexagon within the space of four months. Kabesa has been antagonizing 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.
In addition to these two massive championship fights, there will be eleven more exciting bouts to keep fans on the edges of their seats.
