Themba Gorimbo defeats Luke Michael to become first-ever EFC Champion from Zimbabwe

Themba Gorimbo made history on Saturday night when he became the first-ever EFC Mixed Martial Arts champion from Zimbabwe.

He defeated Luke Michael to make history at Carnival City in Johannesburg, South Africa.

It took only minutes for Gorimbo to land a destructive right hook that cut Michael deeply, above his eyebrow.  With the fight nearly being called off, Michael charged for another takedown after the restart, but Gorimbo was smart and ruthless, sprawling, spinning to Michael’s back and laying down intense ground and pound until the referee stepped in and called it.

A jubilant Gorimbo celebrated and then called out the UFC welterweight champion. “Dana White, Kamara Usman is no African. He left when he was 6 years old. Sign me and let me run the division.”

Gorimbo realised his dream of becoming the first Zimbabwean EFC champion.
