Out of Africa: EFC wordwide is born
Cairo Howarth: “Now we are excited to be pitting our current stars and champs against MMA stars from the rest of the world in true world championship bouts.”
EFC Africa is now officially worldwide, and has re-launched its website at EFCworldwide.com. Founded in 2009, the league previously only signed athletes who were born in, or fighting out of Africa. However, having conquered the continent, with over 120 athletes exclusively contracted, the organization is now going worldwide.
We have global television broadcast deals on every continent. EFC is already shown in over 110 countries, said EFC President Cairo Howarth. EFC has signed and built up the best African MMA athletes to be household names and to be competitive on a global scale. Now we are excited to be pitting our current stars and champs against MMA stars from the rest of the world in true world championship bouts.
We get approached daily by great athletes from all over the globe applying to compete at EFC. Due to the high-quality production and level of fights, the demand from TV networks from the US to Asia is constantly growing.
Headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, the Extreme Fighting Championship produces 10 live events annually at sold out arenas. EFC events are broadcast live in over 110 countries around the world on numerous television networks in multiple languages, as well as live at Ster-Kinekor cinemas throughout South Africa. EFC programming is available weekly in 600+ million TV households worldwide, making it one of the most recognizable MMA brands on the planet.
