We’re less than 24-hours away from utilizing the magic of alien technology, opening a portal to half-way across the world and watching live African MMA in real-time. Umberto Eco would probably admire our attempt at mastering mass-media, if he knew what MMA was. If you could travel in time, take someone from the 1830s and explain to him/her what you’re about to do tomorrow at 2pm EST/11am PST on MiddleEasy.com, their respective brain cells would cower in the corners of their skull, afraid of what mankind has achieved in just under two centuries.
EFC Africa 11 will air tomorrow live on MiddleEasy.com for everyone in North America, GroundandPound.de in Germany and MMALegacy.gr in Greece. If you happen to reside in Africa, visit your local Nu Metro theatre to catch the event on the big screen or EFCAfrica.com if you have an African IP address. Technically, if you reside in Africa and don’t have an African IP address when you connect to the internet, then I’ll have to wonder where you got that IP address from. Now that EFC has signed an exclusive deal with FOX, I believe you can watch the event on the FX network on television — however I’m prepared to be entirely wrong on my assumption.
In the main card of EFC Africa 11, we will see:
Unfortunately for this event, MiddleEasy will not carry the undercard fights so for the time being, the fights listed above (and below) are the only ones that matter November 10th 2011. That’s sort of rough for all the undercard fighters, but we still love you. Check out our brief breakdown of each fighter competing in the broadcast part of EFC Africa 11.
