The stage is set for a classic South Africa versus Zimbabwe showdown as rising contender Ayanda “The Power” Zwane welcomes decorated international amateur Lewis “Porcupine” Mataya to the Extreme Fighting Championship (EFC) Hexagon at EFC 137.
For Zwane, fighting out of Johannesburg’s Apex MMA South, the upcoming bout represents another crucial hurdle in his quest for EFC gold. Having already compiled an impressive promotional résumé—marked by decisive victories over Emerson Pedro, Emmanuel Sita, Roberto Miyaba, and Steven Goncalves—the explosive finisher is eager to lock down his status as the division’s top title contender.
Standing in his path, however, is one of Zimbabwe’s most accomplished mixed martial artists. Mataya enters the EFC arena bringing serious international credentials, most notably a gold-medal campaign as an IMMAF Africa Champion. Known for his well-rounded skill set and relentless fight style, the debutant views this cross-border clash as the ultimate opportunity to announce his arrival on Africa’s biggest MMA platform.
With Zwane’s established EFC pedigree tested against Mataya’s elite championship background, the matchup promises high-octane action from the opening bell.
