JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – With just 22 days to go before the historic EFC 100 event where an unprecedented three championships will be hotly-contested, World Sports Betting have already opened the books on the main event, the highly-anticipated rematch between middleweight champ Luke Michael and challenger Pupanga Tresor. The incumbent is a significant favourite over the contender with Michael at a 1.36 betting line over Tresor’s 3.10, giving players an incredible opportunity to double their money with a wager on ‘Fireboy.’
Michael and Tresor’s storyline is one that is very familiar in MMA – friends turned to foes. Having been training partners, the two found themselves placed in the prime position of contending for the vacant 185lb gold. In the lead-up to their crucial fight at EFC 92, the two were determined to walk away the victor but had agreed to remain civil until they clashed inside the fabled Hexagon. On the night of the event, no one could have predicted the amount of controversy the bout would create, yet ultimately, it was Michael who was the one to have his hand raised at the end of that fateful night. And now, their paths are destined to cross once more
Luke Michael lacks no confidence ahead of his fight stating, “This belt is going nowhere, I am prepared!” whilst Pupanga Tresor has said that “I’m going to teach the boy some corrections – what’s coming is going to be bad!”
The excitement and anticipation for this fight is already at fever pitch. EFC President, Cairo Howarth, had this to say: “EFC 100 is the biggest night in African MMA history, and it is headlined by the most anticipated rematch of the year – a fight that we have been waiting to see for 9 months!”
Howarth continues on, “The last time these two clashed it was so controversial, and that controversy has created even more hype around the rematch. It’s the fight everyone wants to top off the biggest night in EFC history.”
Fight fans are not only in for a stunning night of action, they also have a serious chance to walk away with significant winnings with World Sports Betting to kickstart the festive season! Stay tuned for more EFC 100 news as the build-up to this landmark event gathers pace!
