What is EFC?
EFC is a South African MMA promotion and the largest MMA promotion in Africa. While it holds events on the continent of Africa, it features fighters from all over the world and is broadcast to more than 120 countries. UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis started his career in the EFC, as did the UFC women’s flyweight contender Manon Fiorot.
There are eight EFC men’s weight divisions and three women’s weight divisions. Fighters compete in each division to climb the rankings and earn a shot at the title.
History of the EFC MMA
The EFC was founded in 2009 by three brothers, Cairo Howarth, Silas Howarth and Calvin Howarth, who were all big fans of MMA. Inspired by the success of the UFC, they decided to create their own African-based MMA promotion featuring the most exciting matchups in the sport.
The very first EFC event took place in Johannesburg, South Africa, on 10 November 2009. Since then, the organisation has continued to expand, holding events across South Africa. Many of these events are now broadcast over major TV and streaming networks, with demand growing for African MMA. There have been over 100 EFC events, with 10 events now held annually.

EFC Betting Odds & Payouts
Before placing any bets on EFC fights, check your payouts and make sure you understand how the odds work. When looking at bookmaker betting odds, higher odds give you a higher potential payout. However, they also imply that the probability is lower and, therefore, the risk is greater. Manage risk carefully when choosing your bets, and don’t forget you can switch between decimal, fractional and American odds.
EFC & MMA Betting Tips, Predictions & Strategies
Styles make fights – Whenever you’re betting on MMA, it’s important to consider the stylistic matchup between the two fighters. Some fighters excel in certain aspects of martial arts, which can potentially be used to exploit the weaknesses of their opponents. Check the strengths and weaknesses of each fighter before you bet.
Research your bets – Before placing a bet, make sure you’ve analysed all the available data. You can find details on fighter form and previous fights online, which can give you a good idea of the skill each fighter has. Remember to look at the quality of their recent opposition too, and watch their previous fighters if they’re available.
Manage your bankroll – When betting on EFC or any other sporting event, it’s important to choose your bet size based on your bankroll and the risk. Carefully consider how likely each outcome is and avoid betting more than you can afford to lose. You can also follow a betting system to help decide how much you wager when making your betting choice.
