NEW YORK, July 25, 2007 – The International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI) today announced the dates, venues and rosters for the 2007 IFL World Grand Prix, the individual all-star competition for the world’s number one mixed martial arts league. The semifinals will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Sears Centre in Chicago and the finals will take place on Saturday, Dec. 29 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., sites of two of the league’s most successful team events in 2007.

The tournament will feature the top four athletes from the IFL regular season in each of five weight categories. The winner from each weight class will be crowned a world Grand Prix champion, rewarding their great individual athletic accomplishment in team-based MMA.

Tickets for the IFL World Grand Prix semifinals will go on sale on Saturday, August 4. Tickets can be purchased at the Sears Centre box office, by calling 1-888-SEARSTIX, or online at www.ifl.tv.

Tickets can be purchased at the Mohegan Sun box office, online at www.Ticketmaster.com, or by calling Ticketmaster at 1-860-886-0070.

Among the stars scheduled to compete are Silverbacks’ heavyweight Ben Rothwell (Milwaukee, Wis.), Anacondas teen sensation lightweight Chris Horodecki (London, Ontario), Sabres’ light heavyweight standout Vladimir Matyushenko (Belarus) and Anacondas’ unbeaten middleweight Benji Radach (Coconut Creek, Fla.). Among the highly-anticipated matchups are rematches between Rothwell and Roy Nelson (Las Vegas) of the Lions and between Horodecki and Bart Palaszewski (Wonder Lake, Ill.) of the Silverbacks. Additionally, Wagnney Fabiano (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), unbeaten and the only IFL athlete with three first-round wins, takes on John Gunderson (Medford, Ore.) in the deep lightweight division.

“The World Grand Prix provides an additional stage for our top athletes at every weight class,” said IFL Commissioner and Co-Founder Kurt Otto. “In addition to striving for the team championship, the best of the best have the opportunity to compete for an individual championship belt, which will give fans the chance to see great matchups between the IFL’s rising stars.

“The fact that every team has at least one qualifier for the World Grand Prix also speaks to the quality and depth of our teams across the board.”

The unbeaten Los Angeles Anacondas have the most qualified athletes with four. The Quad Cities Silverbacks are next with three, while the Toronto Dragons, Nevada Lions and Tokyo Sabres have two each and the remaining seven teams have one apiece. All 20 competitors (four at each weight class) will take to the ring in the semifinals in Chicago. The winners will advance to the finals at Mohegan Sun, which will also include a series of Superfights to round out the card. In the event of injury prior to the competition, the fifth seed (alternate) will fill the vacated spot.

IFL team competition reaches its pinnacle over the next six weeks, as the 2007 IFL World Championship semifinals are set for Thursday, August 2, at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, N.J., with the finals set for Thursday, Sept. 20, at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Fla.

Athletes were selected for the World Grand Prix based on their respective match records during the 2007 regular season. In the event of a tie, competitors with the fastest finishes or best strength of victories earned the higher seeds. The winners then defend their individual belts throughout the 2008 IFL season (dates and locations TBA).

ROSTERS SET AS ANACONDAS, SILVERBACKS, SABRES, PITBULLS BATTLE IN SEASON-ENDING IFL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SEMIFINALS AUGUST 2 IN NEW JERSEY

Rothwell-Soszynski, McKee-Heleno, Matyushenko-Patterson Among Battles Between Standouts; Berths In Finals On The Line

NEW YORK, July 18, 2007 – The International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI), the world’s number one team-based professional mixed martial arts league, today announced the rosters for the 2007 IFL World Championship semifinals on Thursday, August 2, at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, N.J. The top-seeded Los Angeles Anacondas (3-0) take on the defending champion Quad Cities Silverbacks (2-1), while the second-seeded New York Pitbulls (3-0) look to defend their home turf against the No. 3 Tokyo Sabres (3-0).

Some of the more intriguing bouts in the Anacondas-Silverbacks matchup include rematches between heavyweights Krzysztof Soszynski (Winnipeg, Manitoba) and Ben Rothwell (Milwaukee, Wis.) and light heavyweights Alex Schoenauer (Las Vegas) and Mike Ciesnolevicz (Williamstown, Pa.). Head Coach Shawn Tompkins’ Anacondas defeated Pat Miletich’s Silverbacks in a tight 3-2 verdict on Feb. 2 at Reliant Arena in Houston.

Among the compelling Pitbulls vs. Sabres contests are the battle of 2007 unbeaten welterweights (both 3-0) Delson Heleno (Rio de Janeiro) and Antonio McKee (Long Beach, Calif.) and the matchup of lightweight standouts Jamal Patterson (Hoboken, N.J.) and Vladimir Matyushenko (Belarus). Head Coach Renzo Gracie’s Pitbulls clinched the second seed with a win over the Toronto Dragons on June 16 in Las Vegas, while Ken Yasuda’s Sabres completed their unbeaten season with a win over the 2006 runner-up Portland Wolfpack on June 1 in Seattle.

“These four teams have proven to be the best over the six-month regular season, and now they’ll try to take the next step towards the biggest prize in MMA, the IFL World Championship,” said IFL CEO and Co-Founder Gareb Shamus. “Fans will have the opportunity to see some of the sport’s biggest stars go at it in matchups that feature the widely contrasting styles of their coaches.”

Each of the 12 IFL teams competed in three regular-season events from January through June 2007. Those with the best overall records have advanced to the semifinals. The two teams that advance will meet Thursday, September 20, at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, for the first-ever IFL World Championship. Members of the winning team will also receive Championship rings, as in other major American team sports.

In addition to the team competition, the IFL will hold a season-ending “World Grand Prix,” pitting the league’s top athletes at each weight class, later this year. Dates, times and competitors will be announced shortly.

NEW YORK, July 12, 2007 – The International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI), the world’s number one team-based professional mixed martial arts league, will join with Steve Wilkos, host of the upcoming nationally syndicated television show, “The Steve Wilkos Show,” and their mutual partner HeadBlade, for a meet and greet and instructional seminar at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego this coming Monday, July 16, at 11 a.m. PT, it was announced today. The event is one in a series of events IFL athletes and coaches are doing around the world with servicemen and women and is the latest stop in the HeadBlade Steve Wilkos summer Tour.

“This is another in the latest of ways which we can honor our servicemen and women, and work with our partner HeadBlade, along with one of the most recognizable faces in television, Steve Wilkos,” said Gareb Shamus, IFL co-founder and CEO. “It will be an honor for the IFL to be on base at Miramar, and we think the troops will enjoy meeting some of our rising stars, along with the venerable Don Frye and one of the great female instructors and competitors in MMA in Debi Purcell.”

Among the IFL athletes attended and conducting the clinic at Miramar will be a pair of former Marines, Adam Lynn (Pittsburgh) of the Southern California Condors and Brian Foster (Moreno Valley, Calif.) of the San Jose Razorclaws. Foster won his last match on May 19, a TKO over Justin Levens, while Lynn scored a decision win on the same night over Josh Odom. Don Frye, the charismatic Head Coach of the Tucson Scorpions, is one of the most recognizable figures in MMA and a former champion. Debi Purcell, the assistant coach and trainer for the Condors, is undefeated in MMA competition and is the only female assistant for a male professional sports team in the United States. Condors lightweight Danny Suarez (Redondo Beach, Calif.) will also participate.

Steve Wilkos, the highly recognizable former U.S. Marine, Chicago police officer and popular TV veteran, is the host of NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution’s upcoming new daily series, “The Steve Wilkos Show” premiering on Sept. 10. With over 14 years of experience in daytime television, Wilkos is now front-and-center in his new nationally syndicated series, sticking up for people and doling out his own version of justice.

Wilkos is thrilled to be working with the IFL and looking forward to stopping at Miramar on his multi-city promotional tour. “I served in the United States Marine Corps for 6 ½ years. The thing about being a Marine is that you develop a great sense of integrity and discipline, and you learn how to get the job done, no matter what. I am really looking forward to visiting my fellow marines, always brothers, at Miramar along with the great guys of the IFL.”

The Miramar event is the latest in a series of activities the IFL is undertaking to honor the military. The IFL is a strategic partner with the USO, and has conducted clinics in the Persian Gulf, aboard ships for Fleet Week and at bases in Everett, Wash., Chicago, and Groton, Conn. Additional activities will be announced in the coming weeks.

Many of the league’s top stars and matchups are profiled in and out of the ring in the episode, which features action from the Everett Events Center in Everett, Wash., including:

• Blackburn looks to re-establish his position among the top IFL welterweights against tough Jay Hieron (Las Vegas), a native New Yorker and former junior college All-American wrestler
• Toughguy middleweights Benji Radach (Coconut Creek, Fla./Seattle native) of the Anacondas vs. Bristol Marunde (Sequim, Wash./Alaska native), both of whom have independently been involved in preventing violent crimes.

MORE THAN 150 HOPEFULS PARTICIPATE IN TRYOUT FOR KEN SHAMROCK’S INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE (IFL) 2007 LIONS TEAM

Talented Athletes From Across USA On Hand; Team To Be Determined In Coming Weeks

RENO, Nev., November 29, 2006- The International Fight League, the world’s first team-based professional mixed martial arts league, and MMA legend Ken Shamrock, head coach of the new Nevada-based Lions team, today conducted an open tryout, with more than 150 athletes vying for spots on his eight-member 2007 squad. The event, held at the Stadium Sport and Fitness Club lasted more than six hours, with athletes at all five official weight classes going through numerous drills and sparring in several mixed martial arts disciplines.

“I was impressed with not only the depth of talent in the attendees, but also with how many of the guys showed the desire and ability to learn and work within the team framework,” said Shamrock. “Skills and talent are important, but I’m looking for those guys that will be willing to do the things that make a team successful, while knowing that they can be the best and aren’t afraid to go out and prove it. I saw a lot of that in the gym today.”

Shamrock will be reviewing the grades and notes he and his coaches took on each athlete, as well as video of the session. He noted that he would be determining his roster in “about a week or two.”

While many of the athletes came from as far away as Honolulu and Harrisburg, Pa., several of the Reno-based contenders also impressed. “B” Niimi, 33, got a long look, continuing to be called late into the lightweight division drills, and was excited for the chance to test his mettle against top competition. “This was a great opportunity to come out and train with some of the top fighters in the world,” he noted. “It was a fun thing to do.”

Shamrock met with athletes at each weight class, first giving a synopsis of how the tryout would be conducted, then emphasizing the importance he placed on teamwork and always working hard in determining the best candidates for him. That was not lost on veteran MMA athletes like John Gunderson, 27, of Medford, Ore., or relative newcomers to the sport like Herbert Goodman, 29, of Green Bay, Wis., a former running back for the NFL’s Packers.

“Training under Ken Shamrock was exceptional because he is one of the icons of this sport,” said Gunderson. “The training was stern and he definitely wanted us to work hard. I think that’s what attracted so many elite guys to an event like this.”

Goodman concurred. “[Shamrock] brings so much experience, he instills such confidence, you know he can mold you into the kind of fighter he wants, and that it will bring out the best in you.”

Shamrock will select five starters and three alternates to complete the Lions squad. He indicated that spots will be contested each year at similar tryouts, with those surviving the tryouts going up against the incumbent Lions for spots on the team the following year.

Shamrock’s Lions, competing for the first time as one of 12 IFL teams competing in the 2007 season, will open on January 19 at the ORACLE Arena in Oakland, Calif., with a match against his brother Frank Shamrock’s Razorclaws, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Each IFL team will compete in three matches during the regular season (January through June); the four with the best records advancing to the postseason (August, September).

The arena partnerships were secured by the IFL through its partnership with the William Morris Agency, and many include multi-year commitments to the IFL.

“This is a landmark day for all fight sports in general and for the growing number of fans of Mixed Martial Arts in particular,” said IFL Co-founder and Commissioner Kurt Otto. “For the first time, fans and business partners will be able to plot out their entire event calendar well in advance, and know where and when they will be able to see these great athletes and their coaches compete around the country in 2007.”

“We were very pleased with the interest of so many venues to work with the IFL,” said Marc Geiger of William Morris. “It is a great sign for both the sport of Mixed Martial Arts and for the solid business plan that the IFL has that these very prestigious arenas were so eager to do multi-year partnerships.”

Each of the nine regular season events will consist of four teams – each with an athlete in all five weight classes competing – along with a special Superfight, for a minimum of 11 bouts per card. Each of the 12 IFL teams for 2007 will compete in three regular season events; the teams with the top four overall win-loss team records will advance to the semi-finals, which will be held on Thursday, August 2, 2007 at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The 2007 IFL Finals will then be held at The Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday, September 15, 2007.

All events will be subject to the rules and approval of the state athletic commissions in each state in which the event will be held.

INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE (IFL) BECOMES PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY

Completes Merger and Begins Trading Under New Stock Symbol: IFLI

NEW YORK, November 29, 2006- International Fight League, Inc. (OTC.BB: IFLI), the world’s first team-based professional mixed martial arts league, today reached another milestone in its early history, becoming one of a handful of professional sports entities to be traded as a public company. Effective today, the IFL begins trading on the over the counter bulletin board under the symbol “IFLI.”

“This is a landmark day for all fight sports, ranging from Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) to professional boxing,” said IFL CEO Gareb Shamus. “As a publicly traded sports entity, the IFL will be able to help the sport grow beyond its current boundaries and move into the mainstream with both fans and business partners. MMA has seen some significant growth in the last few years, from the emergence of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on Spike TV to increasing ratings and attendance numbers, and we expect our model to add to that success in this new expanded international sports marketplace.”

“For a long time, champions of the sport like Ken Shamrock, Frank Shamrock, Renzo Gracie, Matt Lindland, Bas Rutten, Antonio Inoki and Pat Miletich have never been able to achieve the renown in the mainstream that they have long sought,” said IFL Commissioner Kurt Otto. “By becoming a public company and having them part of the IFL, we feel that not only these legends, but the next wave of athletes, will get more of what they work for and deserve in terms of recognition. It’s a great day for all fans, business partners and competitors in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.”

The IFL, which began less than eight months ago with the IFL “Legends Championship” at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, New Jersey has already experienced success on every level. Early developments have included:

• A deal with Fox Sports Net (FSN) to cover the initial IFL events that grew from three hours in the spring to 10 hours in the fall and pulled in millions of viewers.
• Initial business partners such as Microsoft’s XBox, Suzuki, Dale and Thomas Popcorn, Coca Cola’s Vault brand and Sandal’s Resorts.
• Attendance at events in Atlantic City, Portland, Oregon and Moline, Illinois exceeded original projections.
• The attendance at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut for the “World Team Championship” final on Friday December 29 is also expected to be near-capacity.

The League will very soon announce its 11 date schedule for its 2007 regular season, and will begin 2007 with a 12 team field representing 10 United States cities (including four teams in California, two in Illinois and others) Toronto, Ontario and Tokyo, Japan. The League plans further expansion to include additional teams from around the globe.

Each of the nine regular season IFL events will consist of four teams – each with an athlete in all five weight classes competing – along with a special Superfight, for a minimum of 11 bouts per card. The team that wins the best three of five match setup will be declared the team winner for the match, similar to collegiate and high school wrestling meets. The IFL also differs from other MMA organizations in that the bouts are held in an oversized five rope boxing ring with three four minute rounds, each designed to create the most compelling in-arena experience for local fans.

All events will be subject to the rules and approval of the applicable state athletic commission. The scoring system is similar to professional boxing as well. However, in the event of a draw, a fourth round will take place to decide a winner.

The four IFL regular season teams with the best records will move on to the IFL semi-finals expected to be in early August, 2007, with the first IFL Team Champion expected to be crowned in mid-September, 2007.

After receiving the requisite shareholder approval at Monday’s special meeting of Paligent, Inc. (OTC.BB: PGNT) shareholders, the IFL completed its previously announced merger with Paligent, which was effective at 1:01 A.M. this morning. The merger became effective immediately after a 1-for-20 reverse stock split by Paligent. Immediately following the merger, Paligent changed its name to International Fight League, Inc. Shareholders of Paligent will continue to own their post-split shares, but will be entitled to receive new certificates representing the same number of IFL shares of common stock as the number of post-split Paligent shares they held, which will constitute approximately 5% of the outstanding stock of IFL. The holders of the pre-merger International Fight League, Inc. shares of common stock (including the converted Series A preferred stock) will be entitled to receive approximately 1.032373 shares of post-merger Paligent shares of common stock, which will constitute approximately 95% of the outstanding stock of IFL. Letters of transmittal will be sent to appropriate holders for them to receive their new shares.



INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE (IFL) COMPLETES 12 TEAM FIELD FOR INAUGURAL 2007 SEASON BY ADDINING CHICAGO-BASED TEAM OF RUSSIAN FIGHTERS

Red Bears will live and train together in a renovated Fire House

NEW YORK, November 27, 2006– The International Fight League (IFL) today announced that completion of its 12-team field for its 2007 season, adding a Chicago-based team of Russian fighters named the Red Bears. The inaugural IFL season will begin in the first quarter of 2007, with the 11 date full season schedule to be announced shortly.

“We are very pleased that we have been able to add this group of up-and-coming athletes as the 12th team for our first full season,” said IFL Co-founder and Commissioner Kurt Otto. “Chicago is a hotbed for the sport and this will create a great natural rivalry with our Quad Cities team, as well as giving the strong Russian following of the sport a team to follow and connect with.”

The Red Bears will be coached by MMA veteran Igor Zinoviev and will consist of a roster of athletes from Russia, who will live and train together in a renovated fire house in Chicago.

The announcement of the Chicago-based team brings to 12 the final number for the IFL’s first season. Teams based in Reno, Nevada; Tucson, Arizona; and Orange County, California, were announced earlier in the fall, and will join with the original eight IFL teams who have competed in the IFL “Legends” and “World Team Championship” tournaments which were held this spring and fall. The final IFL event for 2006 will take place at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut on Friday, December 29 between the Moline-based Silverbacks and the Portland-based Wolfpack.

"The Silverbacks and Wolfpack both proved they belong in the finals after their exciting victories in Portland," IFL co-founder and Commissioner Kurt Otto said. "By combining those interesting matchups with the Newton-Gracie Superfight and a series of intraleague Superfights showcasing some of our best athletes, we have a card that fans will really enjoy seeing."

The main Superfight will be the second contest between Newton and Gracie. Newton claimed a split decision on Oct. 5, 2003, in Saitama, Japan. It will be the first career matchup for competitors in each of other 10 bouts on the card.



INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE (IFL) COACH AND MMA LEGEND KEN SHAMROCK TO HOLD OPEN TRYOUT FOR HIS 2007 LIONS TEAM

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be held in team’s new home base in Reno, Nevada on November 29

NEW YORK and RENO, Nev., November 17, 2006- The International Fight League and head coach of the new Nevada-based Lions team, MMA legend Ken Shamrock, today announced that the team will hold an open tryout for elite MMA hopefuls at Reno’s premiere sports facility, The Stadium Sport and Fitness Club, located at 9393 Gateway in Reno, Nev., at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 29. Shamrock’s Lions will have eight team members, five of whom will be selected to compete per event, when the first IFL season opens in late January. The tryout is open to all experienced professional fighters. The full 11-date IFL season will also be announced during that week.

“While we do have some athletes in mind, we felt that there is a great interest in the sport and this would be a good opportunity to both show people what great athletic talent someone needs to compete in the IFL and to give some of that unknown talent a chance to shine,” Shamrock said. “We will screen all of the applicants prior to the tryout and see if we can identify some of the new faces that will help mold the face of this rising sport. Holding the tryout in both a state and a city that is very passionate about MMA, and where we will be training as Reno’s first professional sports team, will be an added plus.”

“One of the greatest things about the sport of Mixed Martial Arts today is that we are all finding that the pool of very elite talent and athleticism is deeper than we all may have thought,” said IFL Co-founder and Commissioner Kurt Otto. “Having one of the world’s greatest competitors in Ken Shamrock give some of this talent an opportunity to succeed is very rare in professional sports, and it will be a treat to see which, if any, of these young hopefuls will stand up to the test.”

The tryout will be limited based on space and time, and it will be open to the public for viewing. For further details, contact Jerry Milani at 212/356-4009.

SILVERBACKS, WOLFPACK ADVANCE AT INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE WORLD TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP SEMIFINALS IN PORTLAND, OREGON

Teams Advance To Dec. Finals; Whitehead Tops Kerr, Goes defeats D. Gracie in Superfights

PORTLAND, Ore., November 2, 2006 – The Silverbacks and Wolfpack claimed victories at tonight’s International Fight League World Team Championships before an enthusiastic IFL-record crowd of 7,632 at Memorial Coliseum. The Silverbacks, based in Quad Cities, Iowa/Ill., and coached by Pat Miletich, topped the Dragons, who train in Toronto and are coached by Carlos Netwton, by a 4-1 score. In the other semifinal, the homestanding Portland-based Wolfpack, coached by Matt Lindland, edged the Anacondas, based in Los Angeles and coached by Bas Rutten, 3-2. As a result of their victories, the Silverbacks and Wolfpack advanced to the IFL World Team Championship Final at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., on Dec. 29.

In the two Superfights which followed the team competition, Mike Whitehead (Salt Lake City) registered a first-round TKO of Mark Kerr (Portland, Ore.), and Allan Goes (Rio de Janeiro) defeated Daniel Gracie (Rio de Janeiro) with a second-round TKO.

In the Silverbacks-Dragons matchup, lightweight Bart Palaszewski (Wonderlake, Ill.) drew first blood for Quad Cities, winning a split decision against Ivan Menjivar (Montreal). Rory Markham (Chicago) put his team up, 2-0, winning via TKO when the Dragons’ Keith Wisniewski (Portage, Ind.) could not answer the bell for the fourth round, which was necessitated by a draw after three rounds. Joe Doerksen (Winnipeg, Manitoba) submitted Ryan McGivern (Bettendorf, Iowa) in the middleweight fight to cut Toronto’s deficit in half, on a rear naked choke. But Mike Ciesnolevicz (Williamstown, Pa.) clinched the victory for the Silverbacks by choking out Brent Beauparlant (Ottawa, Ontario) to earn the light heavyweight point. Ben Rothwell (Kenosha, Wis.) tapped out Wojtek Kaszowski (Toronto) in the heavyweight bout via keylock for the final 4-1 margin.

Miletich praised all his athletes, but made particular note of Ciesnolevicz. “Building momentum early on the game was important,” he noted, “but Mike C is one heck of a competitor. That guy’s a horse.”

For his part, Ciesnolevicz added, “Clinching the win for the team is the greatest moment I’ve ever had in fighting.”

In the other semifinal, the Anacondas’ Chris Horodecki (London, Ontario) took it to Ryan Schultz (Gresham, Ore.), winning by TKO early in the second round to give the Anacondas the early 1-0 lead. In what may have been the most exciting bout of the entire evening, welterweights Jay Hieron (Las Vegas) and Chris Wilson (Portland, Ore.) slugged away for three full rounds, with Wilson taking the unanimous decision for the Wolfpack to event the score at 1-1. Matt Horwich (Gresham, Ore.) of the Wolfpack scored a second-round win by submission over Mike Pyle (Dresden, Tenn.) in the middleweight bout; before Aaron Stark (Portland, Ore.) secured the triumph for the Wolfpack with a submission of Alex Schoenauer (Las Vegas) in the light heavyweight matchup. Anacondas heavyweight Krzysztof Soszynski (Winnipeg, Manitoba) earned a submission win over Devin Cole (Medford, Ore.) for the final 3-2 count.

“This was a true team effort,” said Lindland. “We knew coming in how good a fighter each one of the Anacondas was, but our guys came in really focused and aggressive. With that crowd behind us, we were especially happy to get the win and move to the finals.”

INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE (IFL) NAMES WORLD CHAMPION KEN SHAMROCK COACH OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TEAM

NEW YORK, November 2, 2006– The International Fight League (IFL) today announced that MMA legend Ken Shamrock has been named as coach of the Northern California-based Lions. The addition of the Lions brings to 11 the number of teams for 2007, with one more to be added shortly. The inaugural IFL season will begin in the first quarter of 2007.

"This is a great day for the IFL and for fans of Mixed Martial Arts in general," said IFL co-founder and commissioner Kurt Otto. "We have been able to bring one of the sports greatest personalities and champions in Ken Shamrock to our organization."

"I am very proud to be joining the IFL, and believe fully in the concept as a big part of the future growth of the sport," Shamrock said. "The athletes in this sport are some of the best in the world, and I am looking forward to working with the organization to take MMA to the next level and help create the game’s next stars."

Originally one of the most popular members of the WWE, Shamrock has enjoyed a 13 year career in MMA and wrestling that has made him one of the fight world’s most recognizable personalities. He has been an MMA trailblazer, beginning in 1993 with the launch of Pancrase in Japan, and quickly emerged as one of the sports early stars. He brought that star power back to the United States, joining the original UFC group to participate in the first-ever “Superfight” (with Royce Gracie in 1993), and went on to become a star of the highly-acclaimed series “The Ultimate Fighter” on Spike TV. He also began his highly successful coaching and training career, founding the Lion's Den, a group dedicated to the training of mixed martial arts fighters. Shamrock returned to professional wrestling during it’s late 1990s success as well, competing in some of the biggest WWE cards ever before returning to MMA again in 2000. He competed first in PRIDE before retuning to the UFC in November of 2002. In late November of 2005, he was selected by the UFC as a coach for the third season of The Ultimate Fighter and has enjoyed great success as an author, competitor and coach over the last nine years. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2004.

INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE (IFL) NAMES HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION IAN FREEMAN AS COACH OF BRITISH TEAM FOR 2008

Expansion into Europe for world’s first Mixed Martial Arts league begins in the United Kingdom

NEW YORK, November 1, 2006 - The International Fight League (IFL) today announced the beginning of expansion into Europe by naming world champion Ian Freeman as the coach of the IFL’s English team, which will begin participation in the IFL in 2008. The English team will begin training and participating in IFL activities later this year.

"We are very excited that Ian Freeman has decided to become the first of what we expect to be several IFL entries from various countries in the next few years," said IFL co-founder and commissioner Kurt Otto. "The United Kingdom has fervent support for fight sports in general and is a growing hotbed for MMA, and we are proud to be able to begin to establish our European base with Ian and his athletes."

"Being a part of the team concept that the IFL has put together is an honor for me," Freeman said. "The UK is the perfect starting point for the league in Europe, and I am looking forward to working with, and competing against, some of the sports greatest legends as well as training many of its future stars."

A former boxer, "The Iron Ambassador," is arguably one of the most popular figures in the fight game in Europe. He began his MMA career training with world champions (and now fellow IFL coaches) Renzo Gracie and Marco Ruas and competed in amateur vale tudo before turning pro in 1999. He steadily gained notoriety, eventually taking the UFC title over Frank Mir in front of a record British crowd at Royal Albert Hall in July 2002. Freeman has trained, coached and competed in various organizations over the past few years, most recently taking the British Light Heavyweight title from Mark Epstein in September 30, 2006.

The addition of a team in the UK now brings the total of teams outside the United States to three, with more teams expected to be named in the near future. The Sabres, based in Tokyo and coached by Antonio Inoki, and the Dragons, based in Toronto, Ontario and coached by Carlos Newton, have already begun play and will be part of the IFL inaugural 12 team season that will begin in the first quarter of 2007. The final two entries for 2007, which will both be United States-based, will be announced shortly, with the full 11 date IFL schedule to follow.

SILVERBACKS, DRAGONS ADVANCE AT INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE WORLD TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP IN MOLINE

Silverbacks edge Pitbulls, Dragons Take Out Razorclaws; Gracie Submits Miletich in Superfight

Moline, Ill., Sept. 23, 2006 - The Silverbacks, based in the Quad Cities, and Dragons, based in Toronto, claimed victories in the 2006 International Fight League World Championship quarterfinals, a mixed martial arts competition held in front of 6,212 at The MARK of the Quad Cities tonight. Renzo Gracie (Holmdel, N.J.) submitted local hero Pat Miletich (Bettendorf, Iowa) via guillotine choke in the first round of their highly-anticipated Superfight which followed the team competition. The Silverbacks edged the Pitbulls, who train in New York, 3-2, while the Dragons topped the Razorclaws, based in San Jose, 3-2.

In the first matchup, Bart Palaszewski (Bettendorf, Iowa) took an entertaining lightweight split decision from Marcio Feitosa (Lake Forest, Calif.) to stake the Silverbacks, coached by Miletich, to a 1-0 lead. Welterweight Rory Markham (Bettendorf, Iowa) landed a series of punches to knock out Marcelo Azevedo (New York) with just two seconds left in the first round for a 2-0 Silverbacks lead. Fabio Leopoldo (Sao Paulo) shaved the Gracie-led Pitbulls' deficit in half by turning the tables on Ryan McGivern (Bettendorf, Iowa) with a knee bar submission at 2:49 of the second round of their middleweight bout. Light heavyweight Andre Gusmao (Brooklyn, N.Y.) tied the match with a technical knockout of Mike Ciesnelovicz (Bettendorf, Iowa) one minute into the second round. That set the stage for the decisive heavyweight battle, in which Ben Rothwell (Bettendorf, Iowa) delivered the 3-2 victory for the host Silverbacks, knocking out Bryan Vetell (Jamaica, N.Y.) with a devastating right hand just over three minutes into the first round.

“The roar of the crows gets the fire in me going,” said Rothwell following the clinching victory. “I didn't want to overextend, I was trying to counter his moves, and the timing was just right for the strike.”

Later, the Dragons, coached by Carlos Newton, earned a narrow victory over Frank Shamrock’s Razorclaws squad. The Razorclaws' Josh Odom (Tallahassee, Fla.) scored a third-round TKO over Rob Di Cenzo (Woodbridge, Ontario) in the lightweight bout, before welterweight Claude Patrick (Toronto) earned the equalizer for the Dragons with a guillotine choke of Ray Steinbeiss (Tempe, Ariz.). Veteran middleweight Joe Doerksen (Winnipeg, Manitoba) moved the Dragons ahead, 2-1, with a late second-round submission over Brian Foster (Moreno Valley, Calif.). In a crowd-pleasing light heavyweight slugfest, Brent Beauparlant (Montreal, Quebec) and Raphael Davis (Torrance, Calif.) traded blows for three full rounds, with Beauparlant earning the decision to secure the victory for the Dragons. In the final match, Travis Wiuff (Rochester, Minn.) of the Razorclaws decisioned Wojtek Kaszowski (Mississauga, Ontario) for the final 3-2 margin.

“I'm very proud of everyone,” said Newton, whose squad won its IFL debut.

“This [the IFL] has been a great experience for me,” said Doerksen, who has 36 wins in 45 career MMA bouts. “It's a new idea, and I guess a part of me was skeptical at first but this has been great.”

In the Superfight, Gracie gained the upper hand midway through the first round, holding a guillotine choke on Miletich for more than a minute before Miletich tapped out.

“I set him up for the choke but at first I didn’t have it,” said Gracie, who is now 11-6-1 in his first bout since last July and first victory since 2001. “He didn't take me down, so I raised up and locked it. I knew I wasn't going to let go.”

“I had a blast getting ready for the fight,” added Miletich. “Training with my team really motivated me. I just didn't trust my neck [following injury] to take him to the ground there.”

The Silverbacks and Dragons now advance to the semifinal round of the IFL World Team Championship, where they will battle for a spot in the finals in December; the date and location of both events will be announced in the coming weeks. The Wolfpack, based in Portland, and Anacondas, from Los Angeles, will compete in the other semifinal that date.

In the preliminary bouts between the teams' alternates, Delson Heleno of the Pitbulls knocked out Ben Uker of the Silverbacks at 3:14 of the first round, and Dennis Hallman of the Dragons defeated Jeff Quinlan of the Razorclaws by majority decision.
