Mamelodi Warriors Kickboxing Club is preparing to leave an indelible mark on the mixed martial arts landscape on September 12 at World Betting Arena, Paulshof.

Kgaogelo ‘My King’ Moitshela will be going up against Willie van Rooyen in the co-main event.

Moitshela said fighting in the co-main event shows that he is getting closer to the gold championship.

He said he is determined to rebound after a recent loss to Edson Machavane.

“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.”

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.

“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.”
