TERENCE BALELO vs LIRIDON RAMANI
Interim Flyweight Title Fight:
Terence Balelo is a fighter from Cape Town who entered the EFC in 2022, since then he has been in 5 fights, and he currently sits on 4 wins and 1 loss. He is known for his clean striking and grappling and his last fight saw him beat Musa Sethwape by decision at EFC 108 last year.
He will enter this fight as the favourite with the bookies due to his impressive form and current record in the EFC.
Liridon Ramani will be representing Belgium when he steps into the ring on Thursday evening and this will be his EFC debut. Prior to this fight he has fought within multiple different MMA institutions across Europe, and he has won 3 of his last 5 fights, but earlier this year he lost his most recent fight by decision.
Due to him being a late call-up into the fight card and his lack of EFC experience he will enter the fight as the underdog.
