Cage Fury Fighting Championships, or CFFC, was founded in 2006 by Felix and Amy Martinez. After an early shutdown, the promotion was purchased and rebuilt by Robert Haydak Jr., who has been central to its modern identity and growth. CFFC is now one of the most established regional MMA promotions in the northeastern United States, with a reputation for functioning as a pipeline for higher-level promotions. Its history is a real reboot story: founded, disrupted, then reshaped into a much stronger regional brand.
