What does it mean for you to fight in EFC?
It is a great opportunity to fight on the EFC. I have never fought abroad before and I am super excited to visit South Africa and represent England in the flyweight division. It is tough to get decent match ups for female fighters and I have had some mismatches on weight for past fights. On a professional show like this I know everything is run properly and fair! It will be a good show to be part of. I can’t wait to get started.
