The 2 March 2012 has been finalised as the date and Carnival
City the venue for the momentous EFC Africa 12, a milestone in South African
MMA history, headlined by the titanic clash between two of the biggest names in
South African Mixed martial arts.
Garreth “Soldierboy” McLellan (6-1) (#2 SA Middleweight Rankings) will defend his EFC
Africa Middleweight title for the first time against dangerous challenger Jeremy “ThePitbull” Smith (10-1) (#1 Middleweight Rankings). Stylistically,
one could not ask for a better matchup. The ever aggressive Pitbull will bring
the fight to the tactically brilliant Soldierboy in what is arguably the
biggest MMA fight on African soil. Both fighters are riding long winning
streaks and coupled with the desire for the belt and the obvious “Bad blood”
between the two, these warriors are sure to leave everything in the Hexagon
come Friday night. This is certainly a fight not to be missed.
Other notable fights on the card include a Welterweight
tussle between Dino “The Lion” Bagattin (8-1) and Martin “The Punisher” Van
Staden (18-5), the winner of which is almost certain to earn a title shot
against Welterweight champion Dallas Jakobi. The Middleweight division will
also be in the limelight as top prospect Tyron “The Rush” Rightford (3-0) takes
on MMA veteran Donavin “Bam Bamz” Hawkey (20-7) in another potential number one
contender bout.
All in all EFC Africa 12 promises to be a spectacular event.
Catch it live at Carnival City, at selected Nu Metro Cinemas or stream the
fights live on the EFC Africa website.
