Lyle Karam will be the first contender to challenge Gorimbo in his first title defence. EFC 84 is set kick-off the 2020 season on Saturday 14 March at Time Square, PTA.
A new year always brings revitalised goals and ambitions, athletes claw at their gap for greatness, as the clock strikes 12. Gorimbo is both a part of this pack and yet identifies as an outlier. Having not taken his foot off career campaigning for one second since he wrapped the coveted EFC belt around his waist. He has made UFC shout outs to fight call outs.
He has over a decade of pushing through adversity, that very few will ever know and has proven that anything is possible. He consostantly visualizes his hand being raised against the greatest and the most threatening, that now includes the young undefeated dynamo, Lyle Karam.
In September of last year, Gorimbo made MMA history by becoming the first ever Zimbabwean MMA world champion. In the EFC Welterweight Grand Prix finale, he dismantled his opponent to claim gold and named himself the king of the division, yet he is still to defend his crown, the mark of a tried and tested champion.
He is a man with singular focus, eyes firmly set on becoming one of the greatest to ever have fought in the Hex. He intends to propel himself to the MMA hall of fame, through systematic challenging, visualizing and dispatching of any athlete blocking that proposed reality.
