Zbilski & Fischer
Give Out A Sincere Apology
- Move Forward On New Promotional Company Venture -

Some here may have received an e-mail yesterday in regards to copyright violations of a web site operated by former IKF and former KICK/WAKO Promoter Rob Zbilski (L) and Scott Fischer. The site had clear copyright violations of both the IKF Kickboxing site (Rules Pages) and the ISCF MMA site (Rules Pages).

Upon this discovery the IKF/ISCF sent out an e-mail addressing the issue to Zbilski and Fischer. Later in the day, Fischer and IKF/ISCF President Steve Fossum (Below R) discussed the issue over the phone and came to a positive conclusion. "It was what we thought it was." Said Fossum, "But their intention may have been a little different than others who have done the same thing. Their intention was not to sanction other events, only their own." In the end, Fischer understood the various consequences related to the issue as well as the need to rework their web page. The direct links entitled "Sanctioning" were removed from the sites front page which had directed readers to rules and regulations for Kickboxing (3 Rule Styles) and MMA that were exact duplications of various rules and regulation web pages of both the IKF and ISCF Rules and Regulations.

Today Fischer sent out this apology:
To all: It is our sincere apology to the IKF and Mr. Steve Fossum for mistakenly posting Rules on the TFC "True Fighting Championship Website that mirrored the IKF Rules in any form. Our organization is a promotional company that is considering the use of many sanctioning organizations. The use of the word sanctioning was for that purpose and that purpose only. Immediately upon finding out these were posted, we instantly pulled them from our site. We regret any inconvenience this may have imposed on the IKF and/or any of those who have taken an interest in our group.
Sincerely,
Scott Fischer

This past summer Zbilski and Fischer promoted the KICK/WAKO USA Tournament. However, false promises and unfulfilled financial promises by KICK brought them to sever all ties with KICK and start up their new venture, True Fighting Championship. The KICK issue was nothing new to anyone here as we have seen this play out over and over again over the last 6 years. Individuals associated with, or who run KICK outright make big promises that they have NEVER come through on or kept. It's the same ol' exaggeration of numbers and promised expectations to everyone they solicited to that always comes up far short of KICK's promised outcome. In the end, despite their strong promotional efforts to help promote the KICK and WAKO name here in the USA, Zbilski and Fischer came to the realization that KICK and it's leaders had very little if any desire to help progress and promote the fighting sports of Kickboxing and or MMA.

This was not the first time a copyright violation had happened with the IKF/ISCF websites. Copyright violations have happened in the past from several start-up organizations as well as existing organizations such as the kickboxing organization, KICK International (Who is currently under legal investigation by the IKF/ISCF Legal Team for issues related to a multitude of copyright violations of ISCF Rules and Regulations they took from the ISCF website and several ethical issues all tied in with several individuals who either once were or are still associated to KICK within the last 5 years.) and others who copied the ISCF MMA Rules and or IKF Rules and other parts of the IKF and or ISCF web sites.

Because of these issues the IKF/ISCF has a team of attorneys that take on these issues directly once the IKF/ISCF determine they cannot settle them without legal action. This past year alone the IKF/ISCF had to deal with 26 copyright violations. Of them, only 6 went to legal action with those in violation paying out healthy 6 figure fines. Once the attorneys become involved, all fines are paid through court judgement to the IKF/ISCF legal team of which a vast majority is given to various charities after legal expenses are covered.

Since the ISCF was the first ever MMA Sanctioning body in the world, it's obvious that many other start-up organizations or other organizations (Kickboxing & Boxing) who all of a sudden consider themselves MMA Experts, simply cut/copy and paste the ISCF Rules and Regulations onto their own website, change some letters and call the rules and regulations their own.

"There will be no followed up legal action in the Zbilski/Fischer incident." Said Fossum. "Our past relationship and respect for both Rob and Scott helped in bringing this to a calm conclusion. We wish them success in their new promotional organization no matter who they choose to use as their event sanctioning body."

Special Announcement In Regards To The ISCF's Approval in The State Of Tennessee

Tennessee Athletic Commission
Approves Four Amateur Sanctioning Organizations For
MMA, Kickboxing & Boxing

On September 30, 2008, the Tennessee Athletic Commission recognized and approved four amateur sanctioning organizations. One of them was for boxing, USA Boxing and 3 others for Kickboxing and MMA. The IKF, International Kickboxing Federation, the WKA, World Karate Association and the ISKA, International Sport Kickboxing Association.

This article is the clear up any confusion as to the approval of the ISCF
as an Amateur Sanctioning Body in the State of Tennessee.

Some State Athletic Commissions believe the IKF operated as do other Kickboxing Sanctioning bodies such as the ISKA and WKA, where they sanction MMA under their Kickboxing Sanctioning Bodies. As everyone here knows, MMA is not Kickboxing so the IKF does not sanction MMA. The IKF Sanctions KICKBOXING & MUAY THAI.

HOWEVER, the IKF's Sister Organization, the ISCF, International Sport Combat Federation DOES sanction MMA. In fact, the ISCF was the first ever MMA Sanctioning Body in the world and is the Largest MMA Sanctioning Body in the World today.

The ISCF "IS" an Approved Amateur Sanctioning body for MMA in Tennessee
as well as many other States.

The confusion here is that the Tennessee Commission thought the IKF and ISCF were the same organization so when the letter of approved organizations was drafted, only the IKF letters and name were included in the draft. This explains why the ISCF letters and name were not included in the initial State of Tennessee press release issued back in September, about their approval of the Amateur MMA and Kickboxing Sanctioning bodies. The ISCF has made contact with the State of Tennessee Boxing Commission today to add the ISCF Name to their information database.

The State of Tennessee Commission also notes: "Any amateur event not conducted by a school, college or university would be illegal unless the event is sanctioned by and the amateur combatant is registered with one of the four amateur sanctioning organizations recognized and approved by the Commission."

Which means, ALL AMATEUR FIGHTERS Must be Registered with the Amateur Sanctioning Body who is sanctioning the event. If not, the bout is Illegal. So, fighter's, if you are not registered or requested to register as an Amateur Fighter with the Amateur Sanctioning Body sanctioning the event you are fighting on, the event is Illegal. ALL AMATEUR FIGHTERS MUST BE REGISTERED.
ISCF Registration is currently the least expensive amateur fighter registration ($25 - $30 by CC). There has been talk of making all new registrations a "Yearly Registration" as with USA Boxing and KICK. However, as of this time, all ISCF registered fighters only pay a one time fee which is lifetime.

not pay the scheduled ISCF Certified Officials for his event.
In addition, 19 of the 26 fighters on the fight card were not ISCF Registered.
Some of them were listed as Pro Fighters.

Cung Le Takes Center Stage On
NBC

SAN JOSE, Calif.: Strikeforce World Middleweight (185 lb. limit) MMA Champion, Cung Le, will seize the spotlight during an all-new "Strikeforce on NBC" episode on Saturday night.

The special, 30-minute program, devoted entirely to the one-of-a-kind knockout artist, will showcase Le's stoppages of Mike Altman and "Mr. Unbreakable" Brian Warren and will revisit his crushing knockouts of "The Ultimate Fighter" season three veteran, Sam "The Squeeze" Morgan, and Tony "The Freak" Fryklund.

Also included in the show is a feature segment that touches on the personal life of Le, who fled a war-torn Vietnam, just days before the fall of Saigon, as a baby in his mother's arms in 1975.

Le's victories over Altman and Warren were ranked number one and two, respectively, according to the results of an online poll that gave fans the opportunity to vote for their all-time favorite Strikeforce knockout on the promotion's official website, www.strikeforce.com last week.

A former junior college and high school wrestling star, Le has pioneered the Chinese stand-up fighting art of San Shou, which aided his run to a perfect 16-0 record in the sport of professional kickboxing and an International Kickboxing Federation (IKF) World Championship. His kickboxing conquests, which included three victories in K-1 North America "Superfights," have aired repeatedly on ESPN and ESPN2.

Two years after making his highly-anticipated mixed martial arts (MMA) debut, Le notched what is undoubtedly the greatest win of his career - a third round TKO of former UFC middleweight champion and MMA legend, Frank Shamrock on March 29th of this year. The live SHOWTIME televised victory earned Le the Strikeforce Middleweight Crown.

Le recently returned home from a two month stay in Berlin, where he completed his third acting stint for the silver screen, a supporting role in the science fiction thriller, "Pandorum," which co-stars award-winning actors Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma, Alpha Dog). The film is slated for release next fall.

"Strikeforce on NBC," the first 52-week mixed martial arts series in network television history, airs every Saturday, immediately following NBC's hit poker tournament series, "Poker After Dark" (check local listings). MMA legend Ken Shamrock and award-winning ESPN announcer, Lon McEachern, co-host each program and provide expert, play-by-play commentary.
