EFC have announced a new 10 part reality show called The Fighter, where 16 middleweight MMA fighters will be competing for a whopping R500,000 contract and a shot at EFC Gold. Let’s have a look and see what EFC The Fighter is all about.
Joined by EFC stars, and under the coaching mentorship of two famous EFC rivals, the athletes will be divided into two teams of eight. Over nine weeks, one by one, team members will cut weight and step into the Hexagon to face each other, until only two remain. So it looks like a very entertaining elimination type sequence from which the best fighter will emerge.
Sequestered in ‘The Pad’, a villa in Johannesburg, South Africa, the 16 athletes from across Africa and the world will live and train together while cameras record every moment. We couldn’t find any information on the venue for EFC The Fighter but we can only imagine it’ll be an awesome location that would make for great viewing.
Following the massive success of MMA reality programmes globally, EFC The Fighter will be the first show of its kind produced in Africa, as well as the first to be broadcast to African audiences on free-to-air TV networks. This is a great move by the EFC as well as the local production companies and should propel the EFC and it’s popularity to new heights. If it’s anything like The Ultimate Fighter from the UFC then it will be a huge success.
“Creating an MMA reality series showcasing the lives of these incredible athletes was always a definite,” said EFC president Cairo Howarth. “Africa as a whole has made the sport of MMA its own. The time is right to show the world what it takes for these athletes to become champions.” We definitely agree with Cairo’s sentiments and can’t wait until the show is aired. EFC The Fighter have also put out a call to all athletes who think they have what it takes to apply on the Become a Fighter page. For more information on EFC The Fighter visit the EFC home page.
