Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 460 Points   |   Tied for 21st with 3 others

Straight outta Western Cape comes to you the 30th edition of Africa's premier MMA organization, EFC Africa. In the first part of the double header main event, scheduled for the Catchweight of 69 kg (152 lbs), the seemingly unstoppable Johannesburg boy Boyd Allen, riding a 6 fight win streak (4 first round submissions) faces a very tough nut to crack in the person of Cape Town's own Muay Thai "Magic Man" Don Madge, while in the other half the South Africa's "White Tiger" Irshaad Sayed who has completed his odyssey with a triumphant return home in March, now faces Johannesburg's Charlie Weyer, an undefeated pro boxer.

The weigh ins are done, the fighters are ready, the tempers are flaring and heads are clashing. Are you ready?

I'd like to see the fight between the two dudes in that photo.  Is that Ricky vs. "Knife" ??

Yup, that's "Knife" Didier-Kilola (left) and Ricky "Apocalypse" Misholas (right) getting into each other's faces at the weigh ins.

Hopefully the refs are a bit more on-point tomorrow. It may have only been one or two fights, but that's all it takes to damage a reputation.

Ill probably still watch it cause hey **** it, its mma. But after seeing the EFCA poster boy Ruan Potts getting absolutely ****d by soa palelei, i tend to look at the promotion a bit differently.

EFC Africa way behind still

Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 330 Points   |   Tied for 57th

The way Ruan Potts was manhandled in his UFC debute definately showed how much farther the EFC has to go. Also Henry "Herculeez" Fadipe struggled in other promotions but since coming to South Africa he looks unstoppable and already won the EFC Africa title.

It's got nothing to do with how further the EFC has to go, the fight itself was one big mismatch in the first place and should have never happened.

On the other hand I can agree because Potts said it himself that there were no more opponents left for him at EFC.

@Cthulhu, nothing I've managed to find yet :)

@Bing, I don't think that selling streams is their main goal currently (if it is, you're right, they're doing a crappy job at pricing it). They put it out there, someone buys, they buy. Not a lot of South African MMA fans can afford those sums and not a lot of MMA fans over seas will spend that kind of money on an EFCA stream. Though, overall as a promotion EFCA do great work. I mean this a South African promotion that's run at a higher standard than most, if not all of the North American ones of the same caliber and this card's quite an awesome one with the Allen/Madge super-fight and Sayed/Weyer really getting my juices going.

If Boyd Allen wins this, I don't see anything that can stop him from pulling a "Conor McGregor" and winning both 145 and 155 belts at EFCA.

Dalcha dominating! Big takedown, massive pace, and it's over! Scheepers falls badly and is out of it. 3 HUGE debuts! #EFC30

If it helps, I should have the show recorded for the weekend, so I will probably be able to watch it and verify the results. EFCA tweets are also notoriously bad for messing up the submissions, TKO's and retirements.

$29.99 is crazy for an EFCA event. I understand they need to pay the fighters, rent halls out to hold the events, make repairs to the cage, hire people to set up the events (ex put the cage together, make sure everything is clean, transportation money for fighters. But at this point being a small promotion its just to much to pay considering only people like us know about it. 95% of mma fans probably have never heard of it. Id say $9.00 for an online stream is fair to start off with until they become more popular and have food enough fighters that smaller euro shows are interested in their limited talent. Once those fighters get to the level where they can compete and win against BAMMA or Cage Warriors fighters, then they can slowly raise prices.

Like someone above said, a guy like fadipe gets crushed in the english promotions. His only quality win was against charlie watts at cage warriors 51. But then he comes to EFCA with a 8-7 recored and destroys their guys. That just shows the quality of the fighters arent really high quality yet. They need time for mma in general to grow, as mma is kinda new to that country and the fighters dont have elite coaches to help make them well rounded.

Mdoko takes it! A desperate battle, Ilunga takes too many unanswered blows on the ground. He protests, but the stoppage stands. TKO, Rnd 2
