EFC Africa chose to target generic blogs for VIP ticket giveaways for their latest event, taking place in Cape Town, 7 Nov. They said these sites have a larger and mainstream following and that it made more sense to do VIP giveaways on these sites- where the die-hard fans were not lurking. As MMA fans and media we feel an injustice here. We want to see the die hard fans, the fans who have supported SA MMA from inception and rallied behind EFC Africa from the start to be the ones who benefit from VIP ticket giveaways.
We dont want to read mainstream generic blogs that report on Justin Bieber and happen to do EFC Africa givaways as well, we want to get VIP tickets from the pure and important MMA sites in SA that are at the forefront of the growth of MMA locally!
This Petition is demanding that EFC Africa make a quota of VIP tickets available for the fans on MMA media platforms each month
The feedback I have received from dedicated fans confirms that our frustration with current promotional strategies is shared by many. I am currently working to draft a formal proposal that outlines a more equitable ticket distribution plan for specialist sports sites. Please remain patient as I attempt to secure a direct conversation with the event organizers regarding these concerns.

Ridiculous. Support the sites that actually care about the sport not just the ones who want clicks for their pop culture garbage.

Give the tickets to the guys who have been here since day one and know the fighters. Pretty simple.

EFC is forgetting who actually buys the merch and watches the prelims. Real fans are on the niche sites not the mainstream trash.
