Welcome to the IFL!!! Shot the inaugural International Fight League (IFL) Championships at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT. A very tough shoot as there are 5 ropes around the boxing ring and a 4 foot platform that keeps you back from the ring. It was however a great night, lot's of action, some very good KO's and a very vocal and appreciative crowd. The IFL will definitely be on the rise...Enjoy, critiques and comments welcome...

Stonkingly good stuff Ed. Amazing job if you're 4 feet away from the ropes.

When's IFL coming to the UK? Also have to ask what's going on in #7? Looks most bizarre...

Wow - that looks brutal!! Superb stuff though Ed.

#7 looks like it could be the start of a beautiful dance partnership if nothing else!! :lol:

#7 was an attempted bodyslam/throw and his opponent grabbed the rope, he ended up on the ground anyway...

With the distance from the ring and the really narrow rope space the 70-200 was used quite often...I did manage to climb the platform a bit and lay out as well to get to the ropes...wasnt very comfortable...tough on the body...

They announced their schedule for 2007 (www.ifl.tv (external link)) and they are all in the US right now...

Interest in the MMA stuff like cage fighting is certainly on the rise (I think I saw an ad for an event at Wembley Arena in February 2007)... but it's still got a way to go before it enters the mainstream.
