So it's an amateur promotion?
XFC has a long history of Pro MMA. For awhile they left the states and moved to Brazil but always were good at creating stars that UFC and Bellator snapped up.
Xtreme Fighting Championship - XFC, a USA mixed martial arts (MMA) organization, John Prisco (CEO), Founded:2006, Headquarters: Tampa, Florida, United States, produces stadium fight cards in Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee, runs MMA-themed gyms , and sells MMA-related merchandise. The company is also pursuing international ventures in at least 12 other countries. Philosophy: XFC has adopted a more grassroots, fan-friendly persona. According to XFC president John Prisco, said that "...there’s more undiscovered talent in MMA than established talent. Modern MMA is only a few years old, and each year exponentially more aspiring fighters join the sport by training in an MMA gym, entering amateur tournaments, or competing on the pro level. ...XFC firmly believes that there are dozens of fighters – maybe more – toiling away in anonymity in MMA gyms and low-end fight cards worldwide that could dominate the most celebrated champions of today. Maybe not right now – maybe they’d need a year or two of intense training, combined with the support of a promotion like the XFC that’s willing to invest its resources in their long-term development – but the undiscovered talent is definitely out there... And we’re gonna find it. Not to be mistaken with the Australian promotion under the same name, XFC has been doing solid shows in all over the south and midwest USA. They’ve brought in some intriguing prospects, but weren’t able to many of retain them. They seem to be doing well, as they were able to re-sign Luis ‘Sapo’ Santos. It shows that they’re willing to give guys shots and have been doing well at bringing in unheard of talent from Brazil. They’re going to be doing shows in Brazil as well from now on. This will help them bring in more stars from all of South America and Central America. I don’t expect them to be the top promotion in the US, but they have been doing a good job adding more talent. They’re also doing pretty well bringing in female talent for a regional promotion. Their biggest problem seems to be getting a larger television contract in the US than AXS. They’re on TV in Brazil on RedeTV. XFC is due to have their first American show in nearly a year this fall. " XFC owns and operates MMA training facilities for professional fighters, amateur fighters, and children. For kid's MMA training, the children wear protective gear and "fight" in a controlled environment to limit injuries. XFC sells Franchise rights to both gyms and MMA organizations, so has many branches world-wide (XFCi, EFC Africa ...)
