The UFC has been there. EliteXC also has paid a visit.

However, neither promotion is the answer to this question: which organization has drawn the largest mixed martial arts crowd in Florida?

That distinction resides with Xtreme Fighting Championships. If XFC doesn't exactly ring a bell, you're not alone.

"I've never heard of them, and we have 52 fighters under contract and another 45 on our prospect list," said Ken Pavia, one of the sport's top agents and an MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) contributor.

Pavia lives and breathes MMA, and the upstart organization isn't even on his radar, but, amazingly, Tampa-based XFC has staged four shows in the Sunshine State, and each has produced a bigger live gate than any other promotion in the state's history.
