Johannesburg (South Africa) – Last week’s EFC 30 event featured two draw decisions – the majority draw in Mukulu vs. Roodman, and the split draw in the Madge vs. Allen encounter.

“A fight scored as a draw should be very rare,” said EFC president Cairo Howarth. “Don and Boyd’s fight was unforgettable, and incredibly close. However, we do feel that it’s the event officials responsibility to make decisions. We would have liked them to decide on a winner.”

The officials’ EFC 30 event representative Jason Bezuidenhout agreed. “Judges need to make decisions, and stand by them,” he said.

As is common practice, event officials will be conducting a full review of the EFC 30 event.

“We look through all footage after every event,” said Bezuidenhout. “It’s about identifying what was strong and what needs improvement, and making those improvements.”

Currently all EFC event officials are privately contracted to work at EFC events directly by EFC. However the current EFC officials do act on behalf of and represent a body of MMA professionals, which is in the process of formalisation. Working closely together with SASCOC and MASA, an independent professional MMA association is in the process and final stages of formalisation.

More details will be released as they become available.
