Hardcore Championship Fighting Done
Source
Quote:
Hardcore Championship Fighting is officially out of business, CEO Keith Crawford has informed Sherdog.com.
The news comes after a period of great optimism for the Canadian organization. HCF was expected to announce this week that it had been purchased -- a move that Crawford hoped would put the promotion among the few legitimately vying for the No. 2 spot behind the UFC.
HCF had made waves since it started promoting last July, signing such high-profile fighters as Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (Pictures), Renato Sobral (Pictures), Gegard Mousasi (Pictures) and David Loiseau (Pictures).
Crawford would not speak on the record about the causes of HCF's demise. However, he said that both he and former partner Dave Houshiar will continue as MMA promoters, each with his own event.

Too bad they had some good shows, and I can say I went to their last show in Hull.
in memory of HCF

That was a surprisingly good fight. Never seen it before. Sorry to see HCF go. Yes, their downfall was predictable but they seemed like a decent organization. I guess it's hard to build a sport in a country where 1/3 of the population cannot physically support it (Ontario). Yeah, you can have events on Indian reserves but they're usually in the middle of nowhere and the venues are too small.

It's starting to seem like whenever you hear that an organization is going to become the #2 org behind the UFC, they then fold shortly thereafter.
