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 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 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.

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.
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.
