NTANDO ZONDI vs NATHANIAL KOMANA
Flyweight Main Event
Ntando Zondi possesses a professional record of 5 wins and 1 loss under the institution after making his debut in 2024. Zondi has built his reputation on high output striking and grappling pressure which has led to four of his wins coming by stoppage.
He enters this fight after consecutive victories with the most recent taking place in August where he beat Kgaugelo Moishela via knockout in the 3rd Round.
Nathanial Komana holds a 4-2 record within the EFC and he is known for his clean striking as well as his talented ground game. Komana relies on speed and movement often forcing opponents to hesitate in the early rounds.
While he has shown finishing ability in past outings, he has been inconsistent when fights extend into the later rounds, making this matchup a significant test. He is riding a three-fight winning streak with his latest action ending in a submission triumph over Godknows Ndlovu when they met in September.

Zondi 1.45
Komana 2.50
PREDICTION:
Zondi’s pace and ability to control exchanges should allow him to gradually pull ahead. I’m predicting a decision win for Zondi.
TUMELO MANYAMALA vs LIHLE NGAMNTHWINI
Flyweight Co-Main Event:
Tumelo Manyamala enters this fight with a 6-1 professional tally. He is known for his explosive bursts and strong defensive awareness. It is important to note that he has been unbeaten in the EFC since he first fought in 2022, winning all 6 of his clashes.
He last fought in February during the Ultimate Fighter 33 event where he lost to Roybert Echeverria via 2nd Round submission, however before that he claimed a knockout win over Micky Cloete at EFC 113.
Lihle Ngamnthwini holds a 5-1 professional record inside the organisation and has not lost since his debut in 2024. He has developed a reputation for disciplined striking and measured pressure, often breaking down opponents over time rather than relying on early finishes.
He has fought frequently over the past year, beating all five of his opponents, 4 by decision and 1 by Armbar submission. His most recent test was held at EFC 127 in September where he overcame Tebatso Molele to win via split decision.

Manyamala 2.40
Ngamnthwini 1.50
PREDICTION:
Manyamala’s sharper striking and workrate can give him the edge. I believe he wins via Round 2 knockout.
ZHANE TANNOUS vs CONRAD SEABI
Light Heavyweight Main Card Fight:
Zhane Tannous enters this contest undefeated at 2-0 with both of his wins coming in the 1st Round by knockout. He has shown steady improvement in his striking and possesses brutal knockout power.
He last fought in August where he dropped Stefan Booysen with a head kick just 14 seconds into the opening Round.
Conrad Seabi brings a wealth of experience to the cage with a professional record of 8 wins and 6 losses. Seabi is known for his durability and willingness to engage in physical exchanges. While he has been inconsistent in recent years, his power and toughness remain constant factors.
Notably he has not fought since 2023 where he lost to JP Kruger in the first Round by rear naked choke.
