Johannesburg, South Africa – Get ready for the first event of the year, headlined by a championship title fight and the ultimate dream match-up.
Recently crowned, Scotland’s Danny Henry looks to cement his legacy with his first title defence. Standing in his way of divisional domination is the undefeated wrestling champion Igeu ‘Smiley’ Kabesa. Riding a massive six fight winning streak, the DRC born phenom not only seeks his own glory, but also vengeance for his teammate Boyd Allen who lost his title to Allen late last year.
