Walk The Talk |
WHAT IS THE
ISCF?
The
ISCF was the first ever Sanctioning Body
for the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and currently the Largest Neutral
Sanctioning Body (In terms of number of sanctioned events) in the World.
Other than the annual ISCF Amateur World Classic (The Golden Gloves of
MMA) The ISCF does not
Promote events and is NOT a Promotional Company. The ISCF is a "Sanctioning Body" for
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) events just like other sanctioning bodies for
fight sports (Kickboxing: IKF, ISKA, WKA, USKBA etc. - Boxing: WBC, IBF, WBC
etc.). |
|
 SANCTIONING
When the ISCF is called upon to
SANCTION
an event, the name of the event does not change. In fact, very little does
change. The ISCF works with each Promoter
and or Promotional Company
individually.
The ISCF assigns and
approves all event officials that have been trained and certified as ISCF Officials.

Sanctioning includes Click

RULES
The
ISCF is sometimes asked to follow the
rules and requirements of a jurisdictions Athletic Commission of the region the
event is promoted in. If so, some ISCF Rules and Regulations may vary to meet the
requirements of the State or jurisdiction of the event.

 TITLE BOUTS
The ISCF, like other sanctioning bodies for fight sports
(Kickboxing: IKF, ISKA, WKA, USKBA etc. - Boxing: WBC, IBF, WBC etc.),
do offer ISCF Titles. However the difference of
the ISCF Titles are many. To begin with,
every ISCF Title won is located either on
an up to date Rankings Page
or, if the title has been retired, it is listed on our Past Champions Page. ISCF
Titles can be contended for on ANY ISCF
Sanctioned MMA Event around the world regardless of the Promoter or
Promotional Company.
Many Promoter or Promotional
Companies host their own titles, however since the ISCF supports and represent MMA as a whole, the ISCF titles are known as a neutral title for MMA.
The ISCF is in charge of
Hosting the ISCF Amateur World Classic. This event is
the true The Golden Gloves of Amateur MMA. At right is one of the Amateur
Champions holding his ISCF World Classic
Title Belt. |

NEUTRAL HOME
The
ISCF is here as a neutral home and if
needed, a support organization for all MMA Promoter's and or
Promotional Companies
to provide a neutral and unified event and possibly Title that is recognized by
all of the Promoter's and or Promotional
Companies around the world.

RANKINGS
The
ISCF
Rankings are from a neutral opinion of MMA Associates around the
world. Any MMA fighter is allowed to join the ISCF rankings at
a "1 Time" fee of $25.00. (Pro & Amateur Rankings)
The ISCF
Rankings provide a neutral site where other event promoters can seek
out potential fighters for their events. Better yet is the ease of contacting
these fighters since the ISCF Rankings include phone numbers when
provided by the fighters. This alone is a great assist to any fighter who is
serious about competing in MMA. In addition, even promoters who may not choose
to sanction their events with the ISCF
visit the ISCF Ranking pages looking for fighters
for their events. The fighters ranked in the ISCF Rankings
are not ISCF MMA Fighters. They are MMA
Fighters! They can fight on ANY MMA Event whether sanctioned by the ISCF or not.

EXPOSURE
In addition to a Neutral
Ranking Structure for the MMA, the ISCF has other things to offer ISCF MMA
Promoter's and their Promotional
Companies. All ISCF Sanctioned
events will have a Pre and Post Press Releases on the ISCF News Pages.
For more exposure of an ISCF Sanctioned
event, all ISCF Sanctioned events are
listed on the ISCF Upcoming Events Page. ISCF Sanctioning comes with much more than just "Letters
and a logo for an event poster..." ISCF
Sanctioning means more exposure to the Promoter and their Promotional Companies
event.

ISCF
Sanctioning comes with much more than just "Letters and a logo for your
poster..." ISCF Sanctioning means
more exposure to the Promoter and or Promotional Companies events as well from everything
noted above.

"As a Neutral Sanctioning Body for the
Mixed Martial Arts the ISCF can help you gain the
worldwide exposure your event deserves and the deserved credibility of a
True Mixed Martial Arts Event.
We hope to work with you on your next event."
