Johannesburg, South Africa – The official weigh-in for tomorrow’s milestone EFC 40 event erupted as headliners Dino ‘The Lion’ Bagattin and Dricus ‘Stillknocks’ du Plessis faced-off on stage for the first time ahead of their bout. As du Plessis put his hands around Bagattin’s throat, ‘The Lion’ reacted and pushed du Plessis off him. Fortunately security stepped in before any shots could be thrown.
