Cape Town, South Africa – As EFC Cape Town draws near tensions continue to grow as main event athletes Norman ‘Chef’ Wessels and Champion Dalcha exchange. The champion, Norman Wessels, has been very vocal about his prediction for the title fight and his thoughts on his opponent and team, while the challenger has opted to rather focus on other tasks at hand.

For the first time since the press conference, Dalcha has spoken out about his opponent, and true to his nature, it was short and impactful.

When asked about his thoughts on Wessels and what he has been saying, he responded with, “I kicked the habit for Mandela Day. What did you do? You talk too much and I’m ready, ready for you!”

‘Kick the habit’ is a social initiative, which Dalcha, as a team member of Dragon Power, was involved in last Saturday for his ‘67 minutes’ for Mandela Day.

Make sure not to miss the most powerful Countdown show to date premiering on Monday 27 July on SuperSport SS8 (208) at 19:30 (CAT), just ahead of the official EFC 42 Media Day at GrandWest on Saturday 1 August.
