"Our events in Tampa have been absolutely electric each and every time we've hosted cards there over the past two years, and that's all thanks to an incredibly passionate group of fans, as well as an amazing number of talented athletes in the area," CFFC CEO Rob Haydak said. "We've already been able to identify several phenomenal martial artists destined for the sport's highest stages, and we look forward to continuing that tradition as we move into a larger venue at the Florida State Fairgrounds, allowing us to bring even more enthusiastic fans inside to experience our signature brand of fast-paced, high-energy action."
