Barebones MC 10 set to showcase rising amateur MMA talent as Ngoka defends his title against Faclier
One of South Africa’s premier amateur MMA promotions returns this weekend to showcase the continued rise of local combat sport.
Barebones MC 10, one of South Africa's leading amateur MMA promotions, will host a 21-fight card at the Sunningdale Sports Complex in Milnerton on Saturday. This event marks another milestone in the promotion's 10-year history and showcases the growing popularity of combat sports in the country. The main card features a highly anticipated matchup between Eden Faclier of House of Combat and Frank Ngoka of TroubleMakers Gym, the current BMC Welterweight champion.
Faclier, who has been vocal about his desire to face Ngoka, has garnered significant attention from fans following his recent victories. Ngoka, on the other hand, maintains an undefeated record since his MMA debut in 2025 and has already secured the Youth A Welterweight championship. In the co-main event, Umar Edwards, the current BMC Bantamweight champion and Faclier's House of Combat teammate, defends his belt against Namibian fighter Baghdad Muundjua.
Both fighters are known for their strategic minds and well-rounded skills. The festivities also include a Youth B Ladies match between Go For Broke's Hannah Mohamed, who recently returned from representing South Africa at the 2026 IMMAF Youth World Championships, and MECS' Aeryn Van Graan. The first bout of the night is scheduled to begin at 2:30pm, with tickets available through Quicket and at the venue's ticket office.
