Versus Fight Night 18: The Featherweight Firecrackers!

The countdown is on for Versus Fight Night 18, lighting up the cage on the 14th of March 2026! If there is one thing MMA fans love, it is a high-paced, technical battle where the fight can end in the blink of an eye. The Featherweight division is known for delivering absolute fireworks, and VFN18 has a matchup that is guaranteed to be a cracker.

We have two hungry submission hunters stepping into the Versus Cage, ready to leave it all on the canvas. When you mix elite grappling with the bad intentions of the 65.8kg division, you get a bout that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the very first bell.

Cole Adams

Fighting out of the powerhouse CIT Performance Institute in Pretoria, 24-year-old Cole Adams enters the cage with an unblemished 2-0-0 amateur record. Adams has quickly built a reputation as a relentless force on the mat, utilizing a suffocating grappling game to break the will of his opponents. Standing at 173cm, he uses his leverage and technique to hunt for the neck or isolate a limb the second the fight hits the floor. Undefeated and eager for another spectacular finish, Adams is looking to prove that he is the undisputed rising star of the Featherweight ranks.

Sphamandla Olifant

Looking to snap that undefeated streak is 23-year-old Sphamandla Olifant. Representing RaptorocK MMA in Roodepoort, Olifant brings a battle-hardened 3-3-0 record into the Versus cage. He is a fighter who has been through the fire, learning and evolving with every single war. Much like his opponent, Olifant loves nothing more than dragging his prey into deep waters and locking in a slick submission. With relentless pace and gritty determination, Sphamandla is aiming to derail the hype train and secure a highlight-reel tap-out of his own.
