IFL had an event in Atlanta last night. From Fight Report:
The Wolfpack, coached by Matt Lindland and based in Portland, Ore., and Pitbulls, coached by Renzo Gracie and based in New York, won their 2007 International Fight League debuts in front of 5,057 at The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga. UFC veteran Robbie Lawler defeated Brazilian upstart Eduardo Pamplona by TKO in the Superfight which followed the team competition.
The Wolfpack topped the Dragons (Toronto), coached by Carlos Newton, 3-2, while the Pitbulls subdued the Red Bears (Chicago), trained by Igor Zinoviev, by a 4-1 margin. The victory moved the Pitbulls into first place after the first round of IFL competition.

WEC (hattip to MMALowdown) has announced their card for their next event. Some good fights. I’m particularly interested in seeing Carlos Condit. Would love to see him move up to the UFC. And UFC fans will get the answer to the oft-asked question, “what ever happened to Tiki and Terrell?”

And Ivan Trembow has done the math on PRIDE’s latest challenge to the UFC — a 4 man tourny of each organization’s top fighters in each weight class. Sure would be fun, but I don’t see it happening.
