A quick btw: the second Groenwald bro scratches a 1st round RNC victory!

Groenewald! Weathered big blows then smoothly took control. Ground domination, RNC to end it. Groenewald back on form. #EFC23


Back to food.

Opperman drops Bagattin and destroys him with fists and elbws! Bagattin still in it, not near finished. Unbelievable! #EFC23 #SSMMA

It's over. Van Zyl does what Grobbelaar must have feared. Took his back, and GnP'd him out of it. #EFC23 #SSMMA 2nd round

We would do better if not for Opperman. Our entire team picked him to win one way or another...
