Carnival City will host EFC 34, on October 2.<\/p>\n
Striking mixed martial arts specialist Sibusiso ”The Monster” Mdoko will challenge the champion, Leon ”Iron Lion” Mynhardt, for the lightweight title.<\/p>
Mdoko, the showman from Cape Town, is a crowd favourite with an impressive finishing record.<\/p>\n
He put away all three of his last opponents and has never been finished.<\/p>
Another must-see clash will be between Francois ”Franaconda” Groenewald and the most dominant athlete in EFC history, Demarte ”The Wolf” Pena, for EFC Gold.<\/p>\n
Pena is renowned for his grappling-based fighting style; Groenewald is a world bronze Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu medallist and has vowed to be the man to upend Pena’s devastating ground game and bring his nine-fight winning streak to an end.<\/p>\n
In addition to these, there are 11 more action-packed bouts for EFC followers to sink their teeth into.<\/p>\n
“EFC 34 is seven hours of nail-biting action that no self-respecting follower should miss,” said the entertainment manager at Carnival City, Jaco Saaiman.<\/p>\n
“As regular hosts of this exciting extreme fighting series, we promise yet another perfect and professional event.”<\/p>\n
