Background
With two championship titles on the line and a stacked fight card, EFC 120 is set to end the 2024 combat sports calendar in dramatic fashion.
Current Middleweight champion Luke Michael will challenge Zaakir Badat for the welterweight title to secure his name in the history books alongside other double-champ elite members like Dricus du Plessis. Durban’s grappling phenom Zaakir Badat goes head-to-head with Michael as he mounts his very first title defense in a main event that pits his jiu-jitsu excellence against Michael’s dominant wrestling in a tantalizing clash of grappling styles. That being said, both athletes boast massive highlight-reel knockouts, with fists that can finish a bout in a millisecond. The stakes for both fighters have never been higher.
Current double champ Igeu “Smiley” Kabesa is set to defend one of his belts in a lightweight championship bout against the formidable Martin “The Punisher” Van Staden, who recently made his eager return to the hex. This matchup carries a rich history that adds weight to its significance. Kabesa and Van Staden are not just two of the most accomplished fighters ever to come out of Africa—they are also friends and former training partners. Their rivalry will now be ignited under the bright lights of the EFC hexagon, where camaraderie makes way for championship ambition. This matchup promises to be one of the most thrilling and emotionally charged fights in EFC history.
The drama surrounding Musa “Bad News” Sethwape and Shannon Van Tonder adds yet another layer of intrigue to this already stacked card. Last year, Van Tonder was forced to withdraw from their scheduled bantamweight title fight and rematch just a day before the event due to health issues. Sethwape, ever the warrior, agreed to face last-minute replacement Terence “Black Panther” Balelo, who went on to defeat Sethwape and claim the Bantamweight Championship.
Having fought previously at the landmark EFC 100 event, which Sethwape won by the judge’s decision, Van Tonder is out for revenge. However, “Bad News” still has his eyes on the ultimate prize and is eager to get back on track toward a future showdown with the current bantamweight champion, Faeez Jacobs. With their bad blood yet to be settled, the grudge match between Sethwape and Van Tonder is sure to deliver fireworks.
With a fight card featuring some of the best up-and-coming talent, EFC 120 will be a night full of explosive action, unexpected twists, and the crowning of new champions—or the defense of titles by some of the greatest names in the history of African MMA.
Mark your calendars for December 12, 2024! Whether you're watching from home or in the stands, this event will have something for every MMA fan. Don't miss your chance to witness history in the making!
