Sors ‘Guru’ Grobbelaar is looking for redemption when he takes on Knife Didier in a heavyweight clash at EFC (Extreme Fighting Championship) 32 on August 7, 2014.
Grobbelaar has lost his last two fights by close decisions and now he is looking to prove a point against the new heavyweight sensation Didier, who knocked out veteran Ricky Misholas in the first round of their match-up at EFC 30.
“I’m looking for redemption, that’s obvious,” said Grobbelaar.
“I want to get back in the win column, and I’m not interested in leaving the decision to the judges. That doesn’t mean I’m going to be stupid. There are three rounds, five minutes each.
“The change I’m making is aggression. I’m going to be attacking the fight, not hanging back and picking off punches. I don’t agree with the last two decisions against me, but you can’t fight the judges. But every fight is a win because it’s experience. They’ve made me ready to start something new.”
Grobbelaar is active in the Cape Town MMA circuit and has had his eye on Knife working his way up the amateur ranks for a while.
“His fight against Ricky went exactly according to his style,” added Grobbelaar.
“He comes out aggressive, he overwhelms his opponent with punches, closes the gap, then uses his Judo experience to get the takedown. He tried the hip throw with Ricky, didn’t get it, went back to the hands, and got the KO.
“Fighting Knife next is perfect. He’s going to come at me. I’m excited about that, because I’m excited about getting back out there and fighting. As I said, for me right now it’s about redemption.”
