Carnival City hosts first EFC fight night for 2015

Nail-biting action awaits EFC fans on Saturday, 21 February 2015 when the final reckoning takes place between lightweight champion Leon 'Iron Lion' Mynhardt and former champion Don 'Magic Man' Madge at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena. They have fought twice before, and 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 bouts of EFC 37 is the welterweight bout between grappling phenomenon and current two-time EFC welterweight champion, Adam Speechly, as he defends his title against the striking specialist David Buirski.

In this the first EFC fight night for 2015, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) mega-star, Darren Daniel, also returns to the Hexagon toclash with hometown favorite JP Kruger, while Madiba faces M. Buirski. Gorimbo and Cheboub top off the main card at EFC 37.

‘We are thrilled to play host to the first EFC fight night of 2015. The question we understand that is one everybody’s lips is ‘will this be the night that the welterweight curse will be broken?’’ Do not miss EFC37 in February to find out,” says Michelle Smith, the Marketing Manager at Carnival City.
