Key Factors to Consider
- Nkosi Ndebele is a clear favorite in the eyes of bookmakers, with odds suggesting a 71% implied probability of victory at -255[5]. No direct recent fight data for Ndebele is available in the search results to assess recent form. Hokonya has a mixed record at other regional promotions (EFC), but struggles to maintain consistent odds favoritism even there[6].
- No historical head-to-head meeting between the two fighters.
- No injury reports found in the available information.
- The event is held in Kigali, Rwanda; no clear home/away advantage is indicated for either fighter. PFL events are professionally run, with standard tournament motivation and exposure.
- Both fighters likely highly motivated as PFL provides a global platform, but Ndebele's clear favorite status suggests either superior skill, preparation, or market assessment.
