EFC MMA Betting Odds & Lines - Bet on Extreme Fighting Championship & MMA

The Extreme Fighting Championship is a premier mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion. You can enjoy betting on EFC fights right here at Stake Sportsbook, with the latest MMA betting odds available on all major events.

What is EFC (Extreme Fighting Championship)?

EFC is a South African MMA promotion and the largest MMA promotion in Africa. While it holds events on the continent of Africa, it features fighters from all over the world and is broadcast to more than 120 countries. UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis started his career in the EFC, as did the UFC women’s flyweight contender Manon Fiorot.

There are eight EFC men’s weight divisions and three women’s weight divisions. Fighters compete in each division to climb the rankings and earn a shot at the title.

Difference Between EFC & UFC

While the UFC and UFC are both mixed martial arts promotions, they each offer a different experience to fans and fighters. Here are some of the key differences:

  • Location: The EFC is based in South Africa and primarily holds events across the African continent, whereas the UFC is a global MMA promotion, although it has yet to hold an event in Africa.

  • History: The EFC launched in 2009, inspired by the success of the UFC, which is much older.

  • Prestige: The UFC is the world’s premier MMA organisation, featuring the best fighters in the world. Although EFC is home to many of Africa’s rising stars.

History of the EFC

The EFC was founded in 2009 by three brothers, Cairo Howarth, Silas Howarth and Calvin Howarth, who were all big fans of MMA. Inspired by the success of the UFC, they decided to create their own African-based MMA promotion featuring the most exciting matchups in the sport.

The very first EFC event took place in Johannesburg, South Africa, on 10 November 2009. Since then, the organisation has continued to expand, holding events across South Africa. Many of these events are now broadcast over major TV and streaming networks, with growing demand for African MMA. There have been over 100 EFC events, with 10 events now held annually.

Format & Schedule of EFC

The EFC holds events throughout the year, featuring 10+ fights on each card. These fights follow the unified rules of MMA, with rounds that last 5 minutes. Standard fights are scheduled for 3 rounds, while championship bouts are 5-round fights. The 10-point must system is used to judge each fight, but fighters can also win by KO/TKO or submission.

EFC Betting Odds & Payouts

Before placing any bets on EFC fights, check your payouts and make sure you understand how the odds work. When looking at bookmaker betting odds, higher odds give you a higher potential payout. However, they also imply that the probability is lower and, therefore, the risk is greater. Manage risk carefully when choosing your bets, and don’t forget you can switch between decimal, fractional and American odds.

EFC & MMA Betting Tips, Predictions & Strategies

  1. Styles make fights – Whenever you’re betting on MMA, it’s important to consider the stylistic matchup between the two fighters. Some fighters excel in certain aspects of martial arts, which can potentially be used to exploit the weaknesses of their opponents. Check the strengths and weaknesses of each fighter before you bet.

  2. Research your bets – Before placing a bet, make sure you’ve analysed all the available data. You can find details on fighter form and previous fights online, which can give you a good idea of the skill each fighter has. Remember to look at the quality of their recent opposition too, and watch their previous fighters if they’re available.

  3. Manage your bankroll – When betting on EFC or any other sporting event, it’s important to choose your bet size based on your bankroll and the risk. Carefully consider how likely each outcome is and avoid betting more than you can afford to lose. You can also follow a betting system to help decide how much you wager when making your betting choice.
