JC Lamprecht vs. Mzwandile Hlongwa
Light Heavyweight Main Event:
JC Lamprecht, fighting out of Centurion is a well-balanced fighter, which gives him the ability to grapple, and deal strikes effectively. He is currently on a 2-fight win streak and his 2 wins have come as a result of TKO/KO in round 1 of both fights. Lamprecht last fought on the 13th of April, where he won and is in good form leading up to this fight.
Due to Lamprecht’s recent results he will go into this fight as the heavy favourite and will look to pressure Hlongwa early in the bout.
Mzwandile Hlongwa fights out of Boksburg and is well known for his heavy-hitting hands. He has lost his 2 recent bouts in BRAVE CF and has not fought in the EFC since 2018, resulting in him entering the fight as the underdog.
Between 2016-2018 Hlongwa did however have a 4-0 record in the EFC where he won 3 of the fights as a result of his striking power, this means that although he has not been on form of late when fighting outside of the EFC, he has the potential to stun Lamprecht with a few big blows which will make it an exciting title fight.

Lamprecht (1/9)
Hlongwa (13/2)
Prediction:
Although Hlongwa will certainly look to keep this a stand-up fight, I believe that Lamprecht will be able to drag Hlongwa to the canvas and win the fight via submission in round 2.
Billy Oosthuizen vs. Emmanuel Sita
Featherweight bout:
Billy Oosthuizen, fighting out of Boksburg, is well known for his fast striking and KO power. He has won both of his recent fights, leading to him being announced as a comfortable favourite for this fight.
He will bring a lot of confidence into the octagon and be hungry for the win in order to keep climbing the rankings as well as maintain the current win streak he is on.
Emmanuel Sita was born in Congo and is currently fighting out of Cape Town. He possesses great boxing skills and has thrown a few solid strikes in his professional career so far.
He has however lost 2 of his 3 fights as a professional fighter in the EFC, with his only win being via unanimous decision at EFC 97.

Oosthuizen (5/10)
Sita (33/20)
Prediction:
Due to Sita’s lack of experience in the EFC and his current career record I believe that he will be no match to Oosthuizen’s fast striking, which will damage him early and he will fall short, leading to Oosthuizen winning in round 2 via TKO.
Bradley Swanepoel vs. Robert Simbowe
Lightweight matchup:
Bradley Swanepoel fighting out of Durban is extremely talented at grappling and has a large height advantage against most competitors in his division, he has won 5 out of his 6 EFC fights (3 via submission), with his most recent fight ending in his first and only loss.
Robert Simbowe, born in Zambia but fighting out of Johannesburg is an effective finisher and has often looked to end his previous fights with a sneaky submission. He has won 3 of his last 4 EFC bouts (2 decision and 1 submission) with his most recent also being a loss.

Swanepoel (2/7)
Simbowe (28/10)
Prediction:
Both fighters are coming off a loss and I believe that it will be evenly matched for the early stages of the fight, but thereafter Swanepoel will dominate the ground contest resulting in a win for him in round 2 via submission.
