The final EFC Africa of 2013 sees the Mixed Martial Arts championship return to the Coca-Cola Dome on the 12th December with 13 explosive bouts and the biggest MMA title bout to close out the year at EFC Africa 26.
The organisation’s first title trilogy will take place between heavyweights, Andrew van Zyl and Ruan Potts. These two warriors first faced each other at EFC 11 with Potts taking the win. At EFC 18 they faced each other again, this time with Van Zyl taking the win and the title. Now they will meet up again with Van Zyl defending the title and Potts wanting to reclaim it. It’s best out of three.
Adam Speechly was set to take on Henry Fadipe but due to an unexpected injury suffered during sparing, Speechly has had to withdraw from the bout. Michiel Opperman was offered the fight and accepted giving him the chance to propel himself back into tile contention.
