In the bantamweight main event, South Africa’s Nkosi “King” Ndebele and Italy’s Michele “The Arrow” Clemente kept things professional on the scale and made their showcase headliner official.

It is a key showcase for PFL Africa’s second-season opener, with Ndebele looking to build his reputation at home while Clemente aims to spoil the party and plant an Italian flag on the continent’s stage.
