MMA Africa

5 CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS!

Two days before fight night, MMA Africa was able to catch up with one of the biggest threats in the Bantamweight division!
He's a Brown Belt in BJJ, has proven that he was crazy stand up skills, and is on a winning streak that will surely see him get a title shot soon!
His nickname explains exactly what its like to roll with the man...
You guessed it! None other than the Franaconda, Francios Groenewald!

This is, 5 CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS WITH FRANCIOS GROENEWALD!

MA: You are currently riding a 3 fight win streak. Is that due to you fighting in a more natural weight division (Bantamweight) or has there been a change in how you've approached your training and preparation?

FG: Yes, I do favour the lighter division and as you know I am always reinventing my fighting style and working on new and improved aspects of my game.

MA: A few people have said that you should be getting a Title shot now. What are your thoughts on how the division has panned out?

FG: Demarte's drop to Bantamweight threw a spanner in the works, however I believe that after my fight with Leo, the path to the nr 1 contender spot and a shot at the title will be within arms reach.

MA: You have a fight coming up on May Day that has been a bout wanted by the public for a long time. In a classic Grappler vs Boxer, you take on Leo Gloss. Have you taken a look at his previous fights and how are you preparing for this one?

FG: I really think this will be a crowd favorite, we are some of the more experienced EFC fighters and both of us will come out swinging. I feel I have a strong advantage on the ground and clinch but wont be scared to throw some leather either. I do however respect his hands and he is one of the toughest fighters around. As far as preparation has gone, I haven't underestimated him at all and have worked hard on boxing defense.

MA: What is the story behind this fight being at a catch weight? Why has it been made at 64kg as opposed to the 61kg cut off?

FG: I know Leo didn't make weight in his last fight and with taking this fight on short notice he asked for a catch weight, I'm not letting this opportunity slide I would have agreed to any weight.

MA: Lastly, You train under arguably two of the best coaches in the country. This reflects in how your stand up has developed, let alone your near flawless ground game.
How much of a role does Jurgen and Raymond play in getting you prepared for your fights?

FG:Its great to have a high calibre team behind me, with the addition of Richard Addinall as wrestling coach its only escalating the level of my ground game. To top it all off I have James Read to guide me and negotiate on my behalf and he keeps me on track.

MA: Thank you for taking some time out of your busy schedule to chat to us. Best of luck on May 1st.
Please feel free to have the last word.

FG: Lastly thanks Steve and MMA Africa for the interview, my coaching staff and my team for always having my back.

Round 10: Monday 24 March 2014

Team Green rocketed out of the blocks scoring at will as debutant Deon kept finding space behind the Team Orange defence. Defensive pillar Michael K even ventured forward to complete a great 1st Half.
The 2nd half however turned into 1 way traffic as Team Orange caught up and then overtook Team Green. Great goal poaching by Anthony C combined with Lindsay' passing abilities led Team Orange to the 22-20 win!

Franaconda time!!

FIGHTER PROFILE!!!

Franaconda seems like a very legitimate name for this man, as when he gets you on the ground, you will feel like the life is being choked out of you!

Francios Groenewald, or Franna to those who know him well, is an extraordinary ground specialist, and his Brown Belt in BJJ explains a lot about my opening statement.

Fighting out of Springs under the guidance of Raymond Philips and Jurgen Putter, Francios is training under two of the best coaches in the country.
Groenewald started MMA in 2010 to prove how effective BJJ can be inside the cage, and can surely say that he has proved that point.
With wins over names like Wesley Hawkey, Pierre Botha, Donnavan Wilken and Craig Ninow, his impressive ground game has been the highlight of the young mans career.
But Franaconda isn't just a machine on the ground.
He trains in Muay Thai and boxing, and in a recent fight against Wilken, showed some crazy stand up skills, including a spinning back fist that landed flush on Wilkens chin.

Currently riding a three fight win streak, Francios must have believed he was in range of a Bantamweight title shot.
But Demarte P***s' drop to the division means that Franna will have to wait a little longer to get a shot at Gold.

So what can we expect from this highly rated Superstar in the future?
Well if his last three performances are anything to go by, he will be in a title clash this year!

Keep your eyes on this man in 2014, and take notes. He's on the rise to the top!

Tiger Muay Thai & MMA Training Camp, Phuket, Thailand

VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHvr3c4ypL4

JP Kruger is now the current number 1 middleweight contender for South Africa's MMA Promotion EFC. He is currently riding on a 5 fight win streak and now hoping to become the middleweight champion on South Africa's biggest MMA show. This win will help put him in line and in the spotlight for his dream of being in the UFC. Even though JP has been kickboxing the majority of his life, most of his wins come by submission. He is dangerous everywhere the fight goes. One thing about JP Kruger is you couldn't meet a nicer guy in the sport. He is a very friendly, respectful and positive guy with a great energy about him. He's very humble, modest and eager to learn all the time from anyone. Before his title fight JP, stopped by one his favorite places in the world once again to come and train at Tiger Muay Thai to polish up on some of his grey areas.
