Christopher Reis, CEO of Reis Sports Entertainment and the Xtreme Fighting Association (XFA) had this to say, "This is a great opportunity for up and coming fighters to showcase their abilities and win a fight contract and sponsorship. They will be tested by a panel of world class martial arts experts, while being seen by major corporate sponsors

Applications are now being accepted for the invitation-only tryouts. Professional and experienced amateur male and female fighters wanting to go professional will participate in various exercises that test a wide array of skills including speed, power, coordination, flexibility, and knowledge of the sport. They will also engage in sparring sessions with one another. After the tryouts, some of the fighters will be offered a contract to fight for the XFA and some fighters will be awarded with sponsorship packages from XFA's corporate sponsors.
