MATUNGA DJIKASA vs ADAMA DIOP
Heavyweight Championship Fight – Main Event:
Matunga Djikasa enters this headline bout holding an EFC record of 8 wins and 2 losses. The South African heavyweight is an experienced finisher with a strong knockout rate and dangerous submission ability, making him a solid threat in the division.
He last fought in September 2025 where he secured a second-round knockout victory over Elvis Moyo. Prior to that he suffered a first-round knockout defeat to Denis Smoldarev but had earlier recorded multiple stoppage victories over Ivan Strydom, Nico Yamdjie and Vandam Mbuyi.
Adama Diop comes into this fight with a perfect EFC tally of 2 wins without a loss. The heavyweight from Senegal has shown explosive striking and finishing ability early in his professional career, stopping opponents under the Hexagone MMA organisation as well.
His latest EFC appearance came in July 2025 where he secured a first-round knockout victory over Christophe Walravens. Prior to that he knocked out Nico Yamdjie in the opening round in his EFC debut back in 2022 and has fought frequently in Hexagone with his latest fight in January ending in a decision win over Prince Anounallah.

Djikasa 1.62
Diop 2.15
PREDICTION:
Djikasa has the experience advantage and has faced tougher opposition within the EFC, while Diop brings power and an unbeaten EFC record. This should be a competitive heavyweight clash but Djikasa’s experience and durability may allow him to weather early danger and take control. I am expecting Djikasa to win by decision.
JT BOTHA vs MZWANDILE HLONGWA
Middleweight – Co-Main Event:
JT Botha enters this contest with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses under the EFC banner. The South African middleweight has shown flashes of potential but has struggled for consistency in recent outings.
He last fought in October 2025 where he suffered a decision defeat to Siyaku Dumiso, while prior to that he won via knockout 30 seconds into his fight with Khulekani Hlongwa but had previously been submitted by Kaleka Kabanda in 2022.
Mzwandile Hlongwa comes into this bout holding an EFC record of 4 wins and 2 losses. He is a dangerous striker with strong finishing ability but his performance level has declined dramatically after losing his last two bouts in a row.
His most recent action came in April 2025 where he suffered a first round knockout defeat to Siyaku Dumiso. Prior to that he suffered a submission loss to JC Lamprecht in the third round and had lost two fights under the Brave CF institution as well.

Botha 1.47
Hlongwa 2.50
PREDICTION:
Botha has the stronger recent form and better finishing ability, while Hlongwa has struggled against higher-level opposition and lost his last four fights. If Botha can dictate the pace and use his striking advantage, he should be able to secure the win. I am expecting Botha to win by early knockout.

ZHANE TANNOUS vs SIYAKU DUMISO
Light Heavyweight – Main Card Bout:
Zhane Tannous enters the octagon with a perfect record of 3 wins from 3 starts in the EFC. The rising prospect has shown excellent finishing ability with all three victories coming inside the opening round.
He last fought in December 2025 where he secured a submission victory over Conrad Seabi. Prior to that he recorded knockout victories over Stefan Booysen and Wallace Okosso, highlighting his dangerous overall style.
Siyaku Dumiso steps into the octagon with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses in the EFC. He is an experienced competitor with a well-rounded skillset but has shown inconsistency against stronger opposition over the past year, particularly when fighting in the UAE Warriors organisation.
His latest EFC appearance came in October 2025 where he secured a decision victory over JT Botha. Before that he suffered back-to-back decision defeats to Luke Michael and Khaled Laallam but had earlier recorded a knockout win over Mzwandile Hlongwa and multiple victories during 2024.

Tannous 1.20
Dumiso 4.00
PREDICTION:
Tannous is undefeated in the EFC and has shown strong finishing ability, while Dumiso has the experience advantage but has been inconsistent. If Tannous can impose his dominance early he should be able to find another finish. I am expecting Tannous to win by submission.

Botha vs Hlongwa
Botha by KO, TKO, DQ or Submission at 1.90
