Two Germiston fighters make the EFC 79 fight card

Pietie ‘Thunder’ Coxen is itching to get into the EFC 79 hexagon, while fellow Germiston fighter Igeu 'Smiley' Kabesa will headline the event.

Not one but two Germiston fighters will take to the EFC 79 hexagon at Carnival City on May 4.

Lambton-raised Igeu ‘Smiley’ Kabesa will fight in the 12-bout fight card’s main fight, defending his featherweight title against Karlo ‘Croatian Cowboy’ Caput.

Kabesa is described as an athletic genius who entered the EFC with an unblemished amateur mixed martial arts (MMA) record and went on a tear in the organisation, winning several lightweight fights in spectacular fashion.

Pietie ‘Thunder’ Coxen will also be competing at the event.

The Elsburg-based fighter is looking for sponsorship ahead of the fight.
