NEW YORK, April 17, 2008 – International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI) stars Chris Horodecki (London, Ontario), Bart Palaszewski (Wonder Lake, Ill.), Benji Radach (Deerfield Beach, Fla.) and Wagnney Fabiano (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) will be among those featured as Fox Sports Net (FSN) will present the season debut of the one-hour “IFL Fight Night” show on Saturday, April 19, at midnight local time in most markets. The highlighted bouts were contested as part of the IFL World Grand Prix semifinal event which ultimately led to the crowning of IFL champions in six weight classes.

The broadcast will mark the start of the third year of IFL coverage on FSN, which expanded from 10 original hours in 2006 to more than 30 last year. New weekly “IFL Fight Night” shows, featuring many bouts not previously seen on basic cable, are scheduled through mid-July. Fans can confirm the time on their respective regional FSN networks at http://www.ifl.tv/TV-Schedule-FSN.html.

• Horodecki, who has emerged as one of the top young stars in mixed martial arts, battles veteran Palaszewski in the rematch of their epic lightweight battle from earlier in 2007, won narrowly by the 20-year-old Canadian.

• Fabiano puts his unbeaten IFL mark on the line against John Gunderson (Las Vegas) in another matchup of lightweights.

• Radach battles bruising fellow middleweight Brent Beauparlant (Ottawa, Ontario) in a bout pitting two of the league’s top punchers – and who have both proven an innate ability to take their opponent’s best shots.

• Middleweight standouts Bryan Foster (Moreno Valley, Calif.) and Matt Horwich (Portland, Ore.) tangle in a matchup of excellent all-around fighters.

“This is a strong set of bouts to open the 2008 FSN schedule,” said IFL CEO Jay Larkin. “Competition between the top fighters provided top-notch action, and since three of these fights were not shown on basic cable or on our live network broadcast, this will be the first opportunity for many fans to see these exciting contests on television.”

Veteran IFL play-by-play man Kenny Rice is joined by MMA legend Bas Rutten at the microphone ringside, with Ron Kruck providing additional commentary.

In addition to the weekly “IFL Fight Night” on FSN, as well as in over 70 other countries and five continents around the world, ranging from HBO Latin America to Star TV in Asia and Middle Eastern Broadcasting and the Armed Forces Network, the first three IFL events of the year are being shown live on HDNet. IFL programming is already among the most viewed MMA programming worldwide, despite being in existence only two years.

The next live IFL event is set for May 16 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., where three Championship belts will be on the line. HDNet will again provide live coverage.

'FOX Sports Net To Begin 2008 Weekly“Fight Night” Programs On Saturday, April 19 At Midnight' - 03/25/2008

NEW YORK, March 25, 2008 – The International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI) and Fox Sports Net (FSN) announced today that the IFL’s weekly, one-hour “Fight Night” show will begin its 2008 run on Saturday, April 19, at midnight local time. The show, which will begin with the IFL World Grand Prix finals from December 29, will run in that time slot through mid-July, a slot which will give the IFL limited preemptions on the FSN regional network in a spot that is key for the demo that follows the sport.

“We are very pleased to be able to continue to work so closely with FSN, especially in this very desirable and consistent Saturday night time slot,” said IFL CEO Jay Larkin. “The FSN weekly component is key to our TV strategy, and it has proven to draw an audience everywhere it has been placed. This Saturday midnight spot is a great piece for us to build around and promote towards, since we will rarely be up against other sports programming.”

“The IFL has been a great compliment to FSN programming, and there’s certainly an audience for it. For two seasons it has delivered solid ratings and exciting, quality fights. We expect Season 3 will deliver as well,” said George Greenberg, FSN Executive Vice President of Programming and Production.

In addition to the weekly “IFL Fight Night,” on FSN, the first three IFL events of the year are being shown live on HDNet in the United States and Fox Sports Net Canada, as well as in over 70 other countries and five continents around the world, ranging from HBO Latin America to Star TV in Asia and Middle Eastern Broadcasting and the Armed Forces Network. IFL programming is already among the most viewed MMA programming worldwide, despite being in existence only two years.
