Can I ask though - how did you get this picked up and into google news? Very impressive, is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created? Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success.. Always good to read about MMA or UFC.

It's too "sportsy" to the MMA enthusiasts. Also, the biggest challenge for any martial arts to be get more mainstream (with an exception: boxing) is the marketing/packaging. We don't have the "Don King" in MMA who really understands how to sell MMA to the general crowds. UFC's Dana White has done much better job than IFL's owner in this case. <a href="http://www.sityodtongla.com" rel="nofollow">Muay Trance</a> I agree with one of the comment above.

The dish-shaped forum and single round fights don't work. The World Combat League is more impressive. The IFL is the weakest of the team sports.

I think IFL is just too "sportsy" for the MMA crowd, most of whom seem to like the flair and pizzazz of UFC and before it died, Pride.

They had a decent spot on MyNetwork - Mondays from 8pm to 10pm - and they screwed up from the start. Even after the reboot, where they put the awesome Bas Rutten as co-host, they never gave anyone a reason to make the Monday show a must-see. The only exciting fight that came from the last season was Chris Horodecki vs. Bart Palaszewski, and they never pushed it outside their market. I never saw an ad for their live special, which had the rematch of Horodecki/Palaszewski. They've spent money like crazy and have yet to made a profit. Even with the restructuring, I don't see IFL lasting past 2008. The IFL has been such a failure. They had a decent spot on MyNetwork - Mondays from 8pm to 10pm - and they screwed up from the start.
