Nail-biting action awaits EFC fans on February 21, when the final reckoning takes place between lightweight champion Leon “Iron Lion” Mynhardt and former champion Don “Magic Man” Madge, in Carnival City’s Big Top Arena.
They have fought twice before and, on both occasions, a controversial win was given to Mynhardt; this time Madge promises to win with a finish.
EFC 37 includes seven action-packed preliminary bouts, as well as the first-ever bout in the EFC women’s division.
Perhaps one of the most highly-anticipated matches of EFC 37 is the welterweight bout between grappling phenomenon and current two-times EFC welterweight champion, Adam Speechly, as he defends his title against striking specialist David Buirski.
In this first EFC fight night for 2015, mixed martial arts (MMA) mega-star Darren Daniel also returns to the hexagon, to clash with hometown favourite JP Kruger, while Tumisang “The President” Madiba faces Matt Buirski, Themba Takura Gorimbo will go against Alex Cheboub, top off the main card at EFC 37.
“We are thrilled to play host to the first EFC fight night of 2015,” said the marketing manager at Carnival City, Michelle Smith.
“The question, we understand, that is on everybody’s lips is: ‘Will this be the night that the welterweight curse will be broken?'”
“Do not miss EFC 37 in February, to find out.”
