Nigeria’s Horatius Alonu Impresses at EFC 113 With Victory Over South Africa’s Cole Henning

The rivalry between Nigeria and South Africa continued when Horatious Alonu took on Cole Henning.

Alonu, who hails from Lagos in Nigeria, took on South Africa’s Henning, known as the Hitman.

The first round between the two proved to be a pretty even affair, as neither man wanted to overcommit. Alonu and Henning traded leg kicks, but neither really threatened.

That changed towards the end of the first round when Henning took down Alonu.

The South African finished the round wrong, ending it in the top position. While he didn’t do much with his position, the judges felt it may have been to steal him the round.
