That’s true there are alway two sides to a story and the truth usually lies in between. Hope the IFL gets it together I was just starting to really like them and their approach. The UFC needs more competition so the fighters have options.

I think there is more to the story with the IFL and Monte Cox’s guys. I’ve read both Monte’s side of the story and Kurt Otto’s side.

I’m sure the real truth is probably somewhere in the middle and we will never know the real deal.

I was just reading an article about the IFL grand prix and why Ben Rothwell and Mike Whitehead are out. Seems like they employ the same brash tactics that the UFC does when it comes to contracts. They were supposed to be the organization that cared for their fighters but it seems they are just like all the other promotion in this regard and just care about their well being. If they don’t retain Ben it will hurt them because he’s probably their biggest star. The whole grand prix doesn’t really make sense any way because even if they win and have the belt they will go back to the team format so it doesn’t matter. So if say Chris H wins the lightweight belt which I believe he will then he goes into team competition and loses he still retains the belt. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Are they going to sign Sean Gannon next?

I ragged on the UFC for letting Gannon fight Hinkle just like I’m going to rag on anyone who signs Kimbo.

I don’t see the IFL hanging around for much longer, especially after how they are botching this whole Grand Prix.

But the EliteXC definitely looks like it is showing some good progress.

Which is sad really cause I was starting to like EliteXC. I’ve also found myself getting into the IFL more and more, sorta grew on me. But I don’t see the IFL around much longer.

They better give him some C- fighters for a while. Any true MMA fighter with a little talent will tap him out quickly. You never know though he might have picked up a little skill lately and suprise people. I’ll be interested in watching this fight.
