In the main event, Congolese powerhouse Matunga “HHH Power” Djikasa became the new EFC Heavyweight Champion, stopping Elvis Moyo in the second round. With the belt vacated after Moyo failed to make weight, Djikasa stood as the only man eligible to claim gold — and he seized his moment. At 3:15 of round two, referee Ferdi Basson stepped in to halt the action after Djikasa poured on heavy strikes, securing victory by TKO and etching his name once more into African MMA history.
For Moyo, who came in heavy at the scales but still chose to face his rival, the performance showed heart and grit. Though no longer champion, the Zimbabwean remains a pillar of the division, respected for his warrior spirit. For Djikasa, however, this was the culmination of a journey — a refugee-turned-champion who now holds the most prestigious prize on the continent.
The event was stacked with action from top to bottom.
