EFC 127 Results: HHH Regains Heavyweight Crown in Thunderous Fashion
EFC 127 delivered a night of unforgettable drama, explosive finishes, and the rebirth of a heavyweight king.
In the main event, Congolese powerhouse Matunga “HHH Power” Djikasa became the new EFC Heavyweight Champion, stopping Elvis Moyo in the second round. With the belt vacated after Moyo failed to make weight, Djikasa stood as the only man eligible to claim gold — and he seized his moment. At 3:15 of Round 2, referee Ferdi Basson stepped in to halt the action after Djikasa unleashed a barrage of heavy strikes, securing a TKO victory and etching his name once again into African MMA history.
For Moyo, who came in heavy at the scales but still chose to face his rival, the performance showcased heart and grit. Though no longer champion, the Zimbabwean remains a pillar of the division, respected for his warrior spirit. For Djikasa, however, this was the culmination of a remarkable journey — from refugee to champion, now holding the most prestigious prize on the continent.
