Last year SFT dominated Brazil as the main country’s MMA brand,  with monthly live events televised nationally on network TV. SFT has the highest level of fights, thanks to a tremendous pool of fighters who come from all parts of Brazil, many who have participated at the world's main events, like UFC, Bellator, M1 global, one FC, among others. Many of SFT’s top fighters have signed with these international organizations after being victorious in SFT’s cage.

The high standards of the events is due to Swen Groups and SFT’s president David Hudson 30 year experience in the film and entertainment business, matchmaker Magnon Wilsom vast knowledge and experience in the world of combat sports, and a team made up of the best of the best Brazil has to offer.
