Battlefield Fight League (BFL) is a mixed martial arts organization based in Canada. Since its founding, it has established itself as the largest Canadian MMA promoter.[1][2][3]
History
Before the founding of the BFL, MMA was banned in Vancouver; however, the organization followed other provinces in fully legalizing the sport in Canada. In 2010, the promotion was founded by Jay Golshani and Trevor Carroll.[4]
Battlefield Fight League held its inaugural BFL 1 event on May 15, 2010, at Rocky Mountaineer Station in Vancouver.[5]
In 2024, BFL renewed its contract with UFC Fight Pass, which it had signed three years earlier, to broadcast fights.[6]
