Ndebele is a former Brave CF bantamweight champion and competed in a trilogy with Jose “Shorty” Torres during his time with the promotion. Ndebele went through Mahmoud Atef, Simbarashe Hokonya, and Boule Godogo to win last year’s PFL Africa welterweight tournament.<\/p>\n

Clarke made it to last year’s PFL Africa heavyweight final, defeating Jashell Ticha Awa and Maxwell Djantou Nana before losing to Abraham Bably.<\/p>\n

Kane was disqualified in his quarterfinal matchup with Joffie Houlton last year but rebounded with finishes of Emmanuel Mukam and Ticha Awa.<\/p>\n
