Xtreme Fighting Championships (XFC) is a premier international mixed martial arts (MMA) organization based in Spring Lake, Michigan, with offices throughout the United States and South America. The XFC showcases both male and female fighters, advocates young MMA fighters, and produces stadium fight cards in various locations in the United States and South America, including Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, São Paulo, Campinas, and Araraquara.

Throughout 2006–2012, the XFC hosted 4–6 events per year, travelling around the United States and Greece. In 2013, the company announced its new executive team, as well as a broadcast partnership with an open broadcaster in South America, RedeTV!. This began the International Tournament & Super-Fight Series. The unprecedented success of the 2014 Season I Series allowed the XFC to secure various partnerships with various global broadcasters, including Terra TV, HBO America, and UOL. The XFC featured more than 185 MMA fighters from 36 countries.

After a 4-year hiatus, XFC has returned in late 2020, with a relaunch event, XFC 43, that took place on November 11, 2020, in Atlanta, Georgia. Milpitas ca, Alfonso Montano.

History

[edit]

XFC 1: Dynamite

[edit]

The organization's first stadium event was called XFC 1: Dynamite and was staged at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida, on November 11, 2007. The show officially drew over 11,000 MMA fans, tripling the former record for attendance at an MMA event in the state of Florida.[1]

XFC 2: Rage in the Cage

[edit]

The XFC returned to the St. Pete Times forum on March 2, 2008, with a show called XFC 2: Rage in the Cage. Among the celebrities in attendance was former professional wrestling star Hulk Hogan, who watched his nephew David Bollea win his professional debut on the XFC undercard.[2] Bollea had issued a to boxer-versus-MMA fighter challenge to boxing champion Floyd Mayweather leading up to his fight.[3]

XFC 3: Battle in the Bluegrass

[edit]

The company's third event was its first show staged outside of Florida, taking place at the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, and drew 6,000 fans on Saturday, June 7; a small riot broke out after the main event, when local favorite Benny Stanley was choked out by Scott Porter in 13 seconds, leading to one arrest. Another known local Brad Chamberlain won via KO in the first round.[4] WNKY, Lexington's NBC News affiliate, reported that XFC set the Kentucky statewide record for MMA attendance with the promotion.[5]

XFC 4: Judgement in the Cage

[edit]

XFC 4: Judgement in the Cage[6] returned to the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa on June 28, 2008, and drew over 10,700 fans, at the time the second largest crowd for an MMA promotion in Florida history.[7]—trailing only XFC's first Dynamite for the overall Florida attendance record. John "Mulatto Mauler" Mahlow defeated Eben "The Big O" Oroz by unanimous decision for the XFC lightweight title in the main event, and in the undercard, the much-heralded Matt Juncal—a three-time high school state wrestling champion from nearby Brandon, Florida, and a former college All-American wrestler[8]—made his MMA debut, defeating the also-debuting Jeff Mansir by submission in the first round.

XFC 5: Return of the Giant

[edit]

The main event of XFC's fifth show, XFC 5: Return of the Giant, which took place on September 13, 2008, at the St. Pete Times Forum, featured the MMA comeback of Gan McGee.[9] McGee, who stands six-foot, 10-inches tall and is known as "The Giant," had last fought on American soil during a UFC Pay-Per-View, when he battled heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia for UFC's world title. The fight ended up being highly controversial; Sylvia defeated McGee, but tested positive for steroids in a post-fight drug test. Sylvia was suspended by the Nevada Boxing Commission for six-months and was stripped of his title,[10] but McGee was never granted a rematch, nor was the loss expunged from his record. McGee faced Johnathan Ivey, a 250-pound brawler who stated that McGee "should've stayed retired.[11]"

Ivey failed to deliver on his pre-fight promise: a record-setting 11,200 fans watched McGee defeat Ivey by second-round knockout.[12]

XFC 6: Clash of the Continents

[edit]

On December 5, 2008, XFC closed out the year with its sixth promotion, XFC 6: Clash of the Continents, returning once again to the St. Pete Times Forum. The show featured a heavyweight showdown in the main event, with the top-ranked heavyweight in Africa, South African heavyweight champion Rico Hattingh, against undefeated American heavyweight Chad Corvin.[13] Also on the card was the MMA debut of four-time world female boxing champion of Chevelle Hallback, in the XFC's first-ever female cage fight.[14]

Hallback won by TKO in the first round,[15] and Corvin beat Hattingh, knocking out the South African heavyweight champion.[16]

Among the celebrities in attendance were Linda Hogan, her young boyfriend, and her son Nick Hogan. When the three were introduced to the crowd, the audience booed loudly. Video of the Hogans getting booed at the XFC event aired on E!, TMZ, and celebrity websites like Perez Hilton.[17]

XFC 7: School of Hard Knox

[edit]

XFC made history on February 20, 2009, when it produced the first-ever professional MMA show in Tennessee state history;[18] the Tennessee state legislature had legalized MMA only months earlier.[19] At XFC 7: School of Hard Knox, former University of Tennessee football player Ovince St. Preux knocked out CT Turner with a kick to the head[20] and Chad Corvin stayed undefeated by stopping the then-6–0 Scott Barrett in the first round.[21]

XFC 8: Regional Conflict

[edit]

The XFC's first televised fight card featured XFC 8 in Knoxville, Tennessee on April 25, 2009. Jarrod Card defeated Bruce Connors by unanimous decision in the main event of the evening to claim the XFC featherweight title. Light heavyweight prospect Ovince St. Preux, who has gone on to compete in Strikeforce, submitted his opponent, Ombey Mobley, via calf slicer.

XFC 9: Evolution

[edit]

XFC 9 was held in Tampa Bay on September 5, 2009. The card was headlined by a fight between Jon Koppenhaver and Florida native Mikey Gomez. Koppenhaver won the bout via technical knockout early in the third round.

XFC 10: Night of Champions

[edit]

Remaining in Tampa Bay, XFC hosted their tenth event on March 19, 2010. Jarrod Card submitted Jason Wood with a rear naked choke to retain the XFC featherweight title in the feature bout. Júnior Assunção caught John Mahlow in a guillotine choke in the first round of their bout to capture the XFC lightweight title.

XFC 11: The Next Generation

[edit]

Tampa Bay saw the eleventh XFC event on July 9, 2010. In the feature bout, Micah Miller knocked out former top ranked Florida featherweight Bruce Connors inside of one round. Miller connected with a knee from the Thai plum and threw a flurry of punches, ending with a left jab.

In the feature bout, XFC Featherweight Champion Jarrod Card submitted Tony Hervey with a rear naked choke in a 150 lb. catchweight bout. Meanwhile, highly ranked welterweight prospect Joe Ray stopped Gerardo Julio Gallegos in the first round due to a cut over the eye in their bout.

XFC 13: Unstoppable

[edit]

XFC returned to Tampa Bay for their thirteenth event, which occurred on December 3, 2010. A featherweight title bout between Jarrod Card and Luis Palomino headlined the card.
