EFC 111 OFFICIAL RESULTS: KING SHAKA REWRITES HISTORY ONCE MORE!
The first two-divisional champion of the EFC, Nkazimulo ‘King Shaka’ Zulu, reclaimed the belt he rightly viewed as his with a dominant win over the previously-undefeated flyweight title-holder, Gift ‘The Day’ Walker in sensational scenes at the EFC Performance Institute in Johannesburg. Now with his bantamweight belt over one shoulder and the newly acquired 125lb waist wear over the other in scenes reminiscent of his CIT teammate and UFC Middleweight Champ, Dricus du Plessis, Shaka Zulu sent out a clarion call for governmental support for EFC before confirming his need to take care of business by confirming a showdown with a hostile Terence Balelo before he would answer any UFC offers that undoubtedly should come his way. Gracious in defeat, Walker conceded that he had no shame in losing to such a legend and that his title-loss would only make him come back stronger than ever before.

THREATS, THROATS AND THROTTLES AT THE SCALE! EFC 108 Weigh-ins
After a fairly respectful series of face-offs at the official EFC 108 weigh-ins, the escalating tension between main-event athletes, Shannon van Tonder and Musa Sethwape exploded on stage and had to be separated by Night Guard security as a scuffle ensued. As ‘The Terror’ Van Tonder stepped-off the scale, he flew at his opponent and grabbed ‘Bad News’ by the throat initiating a melée that involved a multitude of security personnel. Nor were the athletes shy on the mic either, with Sethwape promising to end the life of his opponent prompting derision from Van Tonder. And to add even more controversy, Van Tonder failed to make weight and will no longer be eligible for the interim title, should he beat Sethwape tomorrow night.
