This groundbreaking initiative, which comes just ahead of the XFC 51: Evolution event, aims to identify and promote promising mixed martial arts athletes from collegiate wrestling programs. The program is also supported by renowned icons from the combat sports world, such as former UFC Champion Henry Cejudo and respected fighter Jeremy Stephens.

Empowering College Wrestlers
This innovative NIL agreement is the first of its kind in combat sports and boasts a potential reach of 3.3 million users across major social media platforms.
