This highly anticipated event took place on the 4th October 2009 at Sibaya Casino (just north of Durban). This was the first time a UK spec (28 foot) octagon cage was used at a MMA event in Durban (and only the second time in South Africa). The event was sold out early on Sunday afternoon, with hundreds of fans left standing at the doors wishing they had arrived earlier.
Fans were treated to 13 excellent fights (including 2 title fights), of which 2 fights actually went the distance (3 x 5 minute rounds) , which is something I have never witnessed at a local event before. Apart from some dodgy refereeing, which saw knees to the head of a grounded opponent (more than once), and a questionable arm bar call, the fights were some of the most exciting live bouts I have witnessed!
Congrats to the fighters who put on an excellent show, and to Fight Force for organising an excellent event!
The event was recorded, and will possibly be available from the fight force website in the not too distant future. For more information on the fight results, checkout www.fightforce.co.za
