Andrej, there's also Chris Horodecki, Wagnney Fabiano, L.C. Davis, Tim Kennedy, Benji Radach, Shad Lierley, Bart Palaszewski, Ryan Schultz, Savant Young in addition to Gusmao, Horwich, Heleno, and Matyushenko. The IFL has a lot of legit fighters. Their talent roster is vastly underrated. My understanding is that Whitehead definitely won’t be back.

Too much filler and fluff between fights. I guess the team concept is ok, but it needs to be de emphasized. Couldn't care less about team standings and playoffs and championships.

Nice start but they have to much crap as well. Andre Gusmao, Mike Whitehead (If he is resigned), Matt Horwich, Delsen Heleno, Vladimir Matyushenko ect… Nice start but they have to much crap as well.

He's a World Grappling Championships silver medalist, he's a tough bastard, and his striking is markedly improved. Horwich vs. Kennedy would be serious. Adam, you’re right on about Horwich.

I missed the event, but just watched several of the fights on YouTube and they really produced some entertaining fights. Props to the IFL, but they still really need to ditch the team vs. team thing, which is useless. Just put on good events and maybe make your rankings more clean than the UFC does and you'll do fine, as it seems like they still have some good talent there. Thanks for the heads up.

Not only did you not purchase the AP photo above, but you directly link to the photo instead of hosting it, a double boo-boo right there in my opinion. As a gentleman who currently runs a couple of his own websites, I'd be livid if someone did that. My bandwidth would be sucked away. I don’t understand guys.
