“This fight is crucial, I believe it will take me to the top, and I’m ready to show what I’ve been working on.”
Moitshela’s training regimen integrates rigorous physical conditioning with mental fortitude.
“Discipline is not just about training hard, it’s about pushing through the tough days and remaining focused on your goals.”
Following closely is Tshepo ‘Yasuke’ Majuba, both a talented fighter and an inspiring coach at Mamelodi Warriors.

His dual role enhances his understanding of the sport, as he fosters an environment of growth and mutual trust among his teammates.
“Having a supportive team is everything. Without them, pushing through the pain and pressure would be doubly hard. We’re all in this together, and we lift each other,” said Majuba.
Tebatso ‘The Glory of Torture’ Molele also represents the Warriors, preparing for his opening matchup against Vuyo Jula. With a record of two wins and two losses.
“Every fight teaches me something. I’ve learned that support and teamwork are crucial. I evaluate myself every day to ensure I keep improving,” said Molele.
Molele’s recent victory at EFC 114 has given him renewed confidence.
“Since my last fight, I have remained consistent with my training in wrestling, sparring, and strength conditioning. I’m proud to represent my country, and I want to be remembered as a champion who fights for my people.”
While Moitshela, Majuba, and Molele are the headliners, Vincent ‘The Elephant’ Nakana is another name to watch as he prepares to face Godknows Ndlovu.
Although Nakana was unavailable to comment, his teammates raved about his prowess and preparedness, contributing to the Warriors’ reputation as a formidable team.
