“They started preparing in February and also trained with other fighters competing in the Extreme Fighting Championship (EFC) and Megaledon Fighting Club (MFC) in Durban. For the last eight weeks, they both followed a strict fighters’ diet,” said their coach and father Morné Swanepoel.
The next MFC tournament is scheduled for Sunday, 4 June and will see CombatCoaching.com’s Team MMA fighters Justin Groenewald, Tash Santillal and Cheyne Booysen compete in this high-level MMA tournament.
A year has lapsed since the last EFC championships and this popular event returns to Sibaya Casino on Saturday, 10 June with Team MMA fighter Thabani ‘the doctor’ Mdebele representing coach Swanepoel’s team.
