Our story

Built from
the fight game.

Christian DeFiris founded Extreme Cage Fighting in 2014, drawing on his own background in combat sports to create a stage for emerging athletes.

Today, ECF’s events bring MMA, kickboxing, and Muay Thai to Amazura in Queens, with broadcasts available through the promotion’s streaming partners.

For the fighters.
For the fans.
For New York.
