International Fighting League

(1/1)

Scimowser:
The International Fighting League (IFL) is looking to get a piece of the action owned by Pride and UFC. They have come up with a new concept of having MMA teams compete in a regular season type system, similar to other professional sporting leagues. I believe a lot of things with the IFL are still up in the air but as
of right now they have contacted individuals such as Bas Rutten, Pat Miletich, Renzo Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Randy Couture and other very popular MMA personalities to be coaches. They have also contacted fighters such as Duane Ludwig, Urijah Faber, Sam Stout and Krystof Soszynski and promised them a stable salary as opposed to a typical
fight contract. Teams will be named after deadly animals such as Anaconda and Viper.

They will have three, three minute rounds with all
the traditional UFC rules except for no elbows to the head. They’ve got a tentative deal with ESPN 2 and Fox Sports Net to broadcast a weekly show.

Bluto:
hard to tell if it's gonna be something good, but the more mma the better i guess
