Cape Town, South Africa – In the main event, former heavyweight champion Brendon Groenewald looks to recapture the coveted title. With his sublime Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, Groenewald faces the toughest and one of most experienced athletes in the organisation, Danie ‘The Pitbull’ van Heerden, for the vacant EFC heavyweight championship.
