EFC 128 delivered a thrilling night of mixed martial arts at the World Sports Betting Arena, as Billy Oosthuizen claimed the EFC Interim Featherweight Championship in dramatic fashion.
The main event ended in controversy after Ken Sekeletu was disqualified in Round 3 for repeated illegal strikes, handing Oosthuizen the interim title.
Having been the only fighter eligible to win the belt, Oosthuizen was declared the new champion after an emotional finish to a tense contest.
Earlier in the night, fans witnessed an intense face-off between Boyd Allen and Vince Bembe, who will meet at EFC 129 for the number one contender spot — with the winner set to face Oosthuizen for the title.
Elsewhere on the card, Siyakudumisa Nomvemve earned a hard-fought decision over JT Botha, while Ayanda Zwane edged Roberto Miyaba in a tight split decision.
Brandon Santos impressed with a slick first-round triangle choke against Kgaugelo Moitshela, and William Lekana continued his knockout streak with a brutal TKO of Nicolaas Vermaak. Yaseen Adams rounded off the night with a dominant points win over Rudolf Sekhukhune.
