When the fight card for EFC AFRICA 09 was conceived it was crafted with one word in mind: Big. And that’s exactly what the 6500 fans got: big fights, bigger fighters and some of the biggest names in African MMA all under one roof.

Not a single fight failed to deliver; from the featherweights who fought with massive heart, the super heavyweights who rocked the Coca-Cola Dome and each other; to the heavyweight title fight that saw a new heavyweight champion, in Ruan “Fangzz” Potts crowned. The “of the night” awards were given to Wade Groth and Leon Mynhardt for Knockout of the night and Leo Gloss and Charlie Weyer for fight of the night.

The results of the evening are as follows:
– Tyrone “The Rush” Rightford defeated Tshikangu “Jorma” Makuebo by way of majority decision (3 rounds).
