EFC 97

EFC 97 Card Revealed

EFC 97 is just over two weeks away and more details about the upcoming card have been revealed.

The main event of the evening will be a non-title headliner between Gift ‘The Day’ Walker and Boualem Sahraoui, and that will be preluded by a captivating card of no less than eight fights. The card will feature a number of the EFC’s divisions as they look to shake up things and build depth within those divisions. EFC’s monumental 100th numbered event also draws near and, with that being in the not-so-distant future, many of these fighters will look to prove themselves.

One half of the main event, Boualem Sahraoui, makes his first trip to the African continent for his EFC debut whilst Tom ‘The Greek Warrior’ Theocharis crosses the Atlantic Ocean from Canada for his own promotional debut. Many of the names appearing on this card are familiar to fight fans but, with this card, look to solidify themselves in their respective divisions.

With two weeks to go until EFC 97, it will be interesting to witness the fighters’ interactions with one another, as well as their preparation for the event.
