As hard as they try the team thing just doesn't work very well. Why not just call the team IFL-Stars or something ? Are we supposed to believe that Vladdy (who trains in LA), Bart (Illinois) and Blackburn (Washington) train together ?

I'm very interested to see Jim Miller. Jamal Patterson did a call in to the Max Kellerman show on 1050ESPN in NYC. He told of how he trains boxing at the legendary Gleason's in Brooklyn and BJJ/Grappling at Renzo Gracie's. Very down to earth guy. I really thought Matyushenko gassed last August against Tim Boetsch. But at the same time, this is a HUGE step up in competition for Jamal. We shall see. Sam, I've been trying to find something out with no luck. Are the title fights tonight 5 rounds of 4 minutes or their standard 3 rounds? I seem to remember seeing each during the GP finals. 6 hours to the first fight. Can't wait. It certainly is a solid card. I’m very interested to see Jim Miller.

The first show of the season was awesome, and I expect this one to be even better. I really hope it isn't to late for the IFL, their cards are better than all I have seen this year except for the UFC. Considering how many promotions are out there right now, i would say that is pretty good, especially for free and in HD. I don't know what it would take business-wise, but I think it would be a great move if they could get a Red Devil team in the mix. I would never expect Fedor to fight, but I certainly do think it would draw a lot of interest to their org. I love what the IFL has done with their cards.
