Musa Sethwape and Nkazimulo Zulu will face off for the vacant Bantamweight title, and their fight promises to be a good one, especially after the weigh-ins.

Bad News and King Shaka had to be separated after an intense stare-down, as each want to claim bragging rights and the gold.

Sethwape was originally scheduled to face Shannon van Tonder in the main event for the title, while Zulu last fought at EFC 100 against Nicholas Hwende. Hwende won the fight and claimed the Bantamweight title in the process.

He has since relinquished it in order to fight abroad. The Bantamweight title contenders aren't the only ones who have a point to prove at EFC 105.

Peace ‘X’ Nguphane and Mark ‘Batolo Bacharge’ Kamba were engaged in a war of words at the weigh-in, and both Welterweights have promised a swift ending for the other.

The rest of the EFC 105 card also features some exciting fights and is not to be missed.

The formation of the EFC

As Sports Brief previously reported, for the past 14 years, the Extreme Fighting Championship (EFC) has entertained contact fight fans across the African continent and beyond.

As Africa's biggest MMA promotion, the EFC has provided excitement and action-packed moments over the years - but where did it all start for the promotion in the beginning?
