Johannesburg, South Africa – EFC 67 saw rising stars make their mark, a champion crowned and legacies cemented, but what often comes with success, is a cost. Combat sports commonly see an expanse of injuries and MMA is no exception. The bouts at EFC 67 resulted in a number of injuries ranging from fractured jaws to lacerations and fortunately Constantia Insurance was once again there to assist. The leaders in personal medical insurance, provide cover to all EFC athletes competing inside the Hexagon, and at EFC 67, it was very necessary.

Three athletes were admitted to hospital post event for checkups, Gordon Roodman, Serge Kasanda and Danella Eliasov.

Eliasov suffered a fractured jaw in the first round from Penco’s laser-like punches. She underwent a successful surgery late last week at the Netcare Rosebank Hospital. “I am out of hospital and recovering at home now,” stated Eliasov.

Gordon Roodman and Serge Kasanda were admitted to hospital on the night for injuries sustained in the Hexagon. Roodman for scans for an unintentional blow to the groin and Kasanda for stitches from a cut on his forehead. Both men are recovering without any serious effects.

“As always, a massive thank you to Constantia Insurance for consistently providing cover to our athletes and allowing them to receive first-class medical treatment,” stated EFC President, Cairo Howarth. “Athlete safety is our first priority, and Constantia enables us to carry out this mission every time. Wishing Danella a speedy post surgery recovery.”
