IGEU KABESA vs REINALDO EKSON
Featherweight Title Fight:
Igeu Kabesa fights out of Polokwane and he is a fighter who is known for his grappling ability and his knockout power. He has won his last 3 fights, with 2 of them being title fights. His last fight was a title fight against Bradley Swanepoel at EFC 99 where he won in round 1 TKO. Due to his experience and current form, Kabesa will enter the fight as the betting favourite and look to further increase his current winning streak.
Reinaldo Ekson is a Brazilian fighter who is extremely talented in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu field. He is yet to lose a fight in the EFC with all 3 of his fights ending with the ref holding his arm aloft. It is worth noting that the first time Ekson and Kabesa met at EFC 86, Ekson won by round 1 submission. His last fight was at EFC 91, where he won by round 2 submission against August Kayambala. Although he enters as the underdog it is expected that it will be a well contested fight.

Kabesa 4/9
Ekson 18/10
PREDICTION:
I believe that although the betting odds are against him, Ekson will enter the fight with confidence after his win the last time these two met and he will win by submission in round 2.
MARK HULME vs PEACE NGUPHANE
Welterweight Title Fight:
Mark Hulme is fighting out of Pretoria and he is known as a well-rounded and mobile fighter in the octagon. He has won his last 4 fights in the EFC with his most recent fight being a title fight against Ziko Makengele at EFC 102, where he had no problem dealing with his opponent, ending the fight by submission in round 1 and taking the title. He enters the fight as a comfortable favourite on this occasion.
Peace Nguphane fights out of Springs and he is known for his slick striking and clean footwork and he has not lost in his past 3 fights with 2 of them ending in wins and his most recent fight ending in a no contest against Mark Kamba at EFC 105. Peace will be eager to step back in the octagon and although he enters as the underdog he will look to defy the betting odds this Thursday.

Hulme 2/13
Nguphane 9/2
PREDICTION:
I believe that Hulme’s odds are an accurate reflection of his chances and he will have no problem against his opponent, winning the fight by TKO in round 1.
SINDILE MANENGELA vs SYLEVESTER CHIPFUMBU
Bantamweight Bout:
Sindile Manengela is fighting out of Port Elizabeth, and he is known for his grappling and stamina. The last time he fought was against the current UFC fighter Cameron Saaiman, where he lost his title to Saaiman at EFC 94.
Manengela will enter the fight this Thursday as the underdog and he will look to put in a good performance in hopes of a title fight in the near future.
Sylvester Chipfumbu is a Zimbabwean fighter who has power hands and a long reach. He has won 2 of his last 3 fights with his most recent fight being a title fight against Faeez Jacobs at EFC 85, where he won by decision after a 5-round battle.
He will enter this fight as the favourite on the night and he will be looking to deal with Manengela quickly.
