Anonymous Sponsor Steps In
To Aid
IBL Team Owners
This news will excite all potential
IBL Team Owners.
As some here
know, last week, the ISCF stepped in to sponsor IBL Team Owners who are also
ISCF
Promoters. The ISCF
stepped up and offered to pay $1,000 of each Teams Registration Fees to the IBL for all ISCF Promoters who are planning to purchase an
IBL Team. This was great for the
ISCF
Promoters, but what about those who are not ISCF Promoters? Well, for those non
ISCF
Promoters, your prayers have been answered... This week a sponsor stepped in and
told the IBL that for every team that
registers, he would pay $1,000 of their Team fees, making their fees only $1,500
now.
"This is the way we had hoped things would start
working out" said IBL
Commissioner Steve Fossum. "The more sponsors we can bring in
to aid the League, the more successful it will be."
The funny thing here is that the sponsor has asked to remain
anonymous. "I'm doing this to help the Amateur side of the sport"
he said. "The concept of the IBL
sounds exciting and I'm just proud to be in a financial situation where I can
step in and help."
The Team registration deadline for the 2008 IBL Season is March 1st and with this reduction of
fees it will surly make it easier for Teams to form. Those Teams who have
already registered at the $2,500 fee will be sent a check for $1,000 later this
week.
For those looking to Register for an IBL
Team, go to the IBL Team Registration Page
that can be found by clicking
HERE.

I Have A Team
But I Don't Know How To Promote
Or
Don't Have A Venue...
No worries here...
We have had several trainers tell us they can put an IBL
Team together but they have never promoted before. Well, we have taken some time
to look into a remedy for this issue and have come up with some very helpful
ideas.
These various scenarios will be brought into play after we see
how many IBL Teams are registered after
March 1st. If you can't promote your own events, many of the other IBL Promoters can and well, and share the income
with you. So if this is stopping you, it shouldn't any longer...

ISCF
Implements New "AMATEUR"
Fighter Forms
The latest ISCF Safety
decision comes fresh on the heels of the recent issue with MMA Fighter
Wes Osburn of Springfield,
Missouri, USA. As some here may remember, Osburn fought as an
Amateur after fighting as a Pro the weekend before. in addition, as if that
wasn't bad enough, he also fought that second event after being stopped by TKO,
"AND" given a 30 day suspension by the Indian gaming
commission.
Because the ISCF does not
want to see this happen again, they have now made it MANDATORY
that EVERY AMATEUR fighter on ALL ISCF
Sanctioned events complete and sign the new ISCF AMATEUR Fighter
Confirmation Form.
This form binds Amateur Fighters to their word that they have
never fought as a Professional (As Osburn did) and that they have not
been Knocked out or stopped due to KO, TKO or injury within a minimum of 30 days
prior to the event they are fighting on and signing the form for. For legal
reasons the form is very detailed covering all the legal issues related to the
topic as well as dealing with the ever so controversial issue of Women fighters
and the possibility as well as potential liability of them bring pregnant for
their fight.
To see and use the new form click
HERE.
In addition, due to the requests of several Promoters, the ISCF has also created a Release
Of Liability Waiver Form for Promoters to use. This form can be found
by clicking HERE.
To give Promoters time to implement this new form, the form
will become a mandatory requirement for all events beginning
March 1st, 2008. To review the ISCF
stance on pros vs Amateur status click HERE.

IBL FIGHT NEWS...
IBL Has it's Own
News Page!
As of today, the IBL
has it's own News Page.
For future IBL
info you can read it here on the ISCF News
page or on the new IBL News Page,
Found
HERE
POTENTIAL
IBL OWNERS...
The
IBL Does Not Need Everything!
A special note to potential
IBL Team Owners...
You do not have to
submit your entire roster by the Team Registration Deadline of March 1st. In
fact, all the IBL needs from you by March
1st is your completed Franchise Application - Registration Form that tells
what city and state you will represent and your registration fees to confirm
your regional position.
Teams will have plenty of time between March 1st and the
beginning of the IBL Season to complete
their Team Roster, Team Logo and even their official IBL
Team Name.
First
Year Is Best
For New IBL Owners...
Another special note to potential IBL
Team Owners...
Those who become a part of the inaugural
IBL Season will be locked in to some
special benefits. To begin with, the
IBL Franchise Fee for the 2009
IBL Season will be more than the inaugural
2008 year. However, all 2008 IBL Team
Owners will continue to pay the same IBL
Team Franchise Fee for a minimum of 3 years. in addition, first year
IBL Owners will also be given much larger
percentages of IBL Merchandise sales and
several other additions to be announced soon.
It is the plan of the IBL
to have an annual League meeting among all the Team Owners. At this meeting, the
Team Owners will discuss various issues about the IBL
such as Future Goals, Marketing, Awards, Promotions, League Rules and
Regulations, Sponsorship, TV/Media and the Financial Status of the
IBL to determine if Franchise Fees should
go up or remain the same until the next IBL
Owners meeting.
Another
Special Page!
The IBL
has added a page for fighters looking to be on a Team. Over the last couple of
weeks several fighters have been looking for Teams that have openings. The IBL
cannot promise all fighters listed on this page will get on a Team, but at least
their name is out there so Owners know about them. In the last post, this was
called a "Fighters Available" page.
As the Teams Owners and Coaches are announced, some of the Teams will offer
try-outs. However, most Teams already have all their fighters. More IBL News coming later, but for now...

It Will Be Awhile Before
Wes Osburn Fights Again...
Legally...
A little over a week ago on February 2nd, Amateur MMA fighter
Wes Osburn of Springfield, Missouri entered
the ring at Ricky Duane Davidson II's "MID-MO-FIGHT SHOW 6"
in Moberly, Missouri, USA to fight for the vacant ISCF
Mid-Central Regional Heavyweight Title. Eight seconds later, the fight was over
after his opponent, Daniel
Gallemore connected with a right that knocked Osburn to
the floor. When Osburn attempted to get up he was wobbly which forced
the Referee to end the bout.
What many did not know is that Osburn had lied to the
Promoter and the ISCF Representative as
well as his opponent. The lie touched on many different fronts.
To begin with, as everyone here reading this knows, once you
fight as a PRO, you are considered a PRO from that moment on. However, Osburn
has Glenn Cozzen (Left)
listed as his trainer. The question is, did Cozzen's know what was
happening? This is still yet to be determined by the ISCF.
Regardless, from what is clear, Osburn didn't think that rule about
amateurs and pros applied to him because the weekend before this fight on
January 25, Osburn fought on Dale Cook's Xtreme Fighting League "Superbrawl
2008" event at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma and was
registered and paid as a Pro MMA Fighter.
Osburn fought in bout number 2 against a fighter named
David Fuller. In the bout, Fuller defeated Osborn by a
punch KO only :30 seconds into round 1. On top of this, according to sources, he
was also suspended by the Oklahoma State Boxing Commission for a KO Suspension.
We were able to find Fuller on
Sherdog's (2-0) database which included the Osburn
result. We know when the fighter background check was done (Friday, February
1st, 2008 - 8:40 PM/PST ) for Davidson's ISCF
Event that Osburn fought on that Osburn was not listed in the
Sherdog database. Other than this we saw
that Cook (Promoter Dale Cook) was calling Fuller the "THE
300LB SMASHING MACHINE" with a record of 1-1. The promotion also had
Osburn listed as 2-0, when we know for a fact that he was actually
3-1 when he stepped into
the ring against Fuller in Oklahoma on January 25.
So what does this mean? Well, lets break it down...
- Osburn disobeyed the suspension of the Oklahoma State Commission,
fighting only 7 days later.
- Osburn disobeyed the Amateur Matchmaking Rules set down by the ISCF, fighting as an Amateur after fighting as a
Pro.
- Osburn lied to event promoter Ricky Davidson.
- Osburn lied to ISCF Event
Representative Chuck Wolfe.
- Osburn lied to his opponent for the ISCF
Amateur title bout, Daniel Gallemore.
- More so, Osburn has hurt EVERYONE here in the sport of MMA!
His action is fuel to the fire for state commissions to keep pressing the
comments like "This sport is unregulated, it should NOT be legal!"
However, any smart state commission official can and will see
that this can, and HAS happened to not only MMA fighters but
also in Professional Boxing and Kickboxing. Sometimes the records of suspension
authorities such as "Fight Fax" are not updated quickly enough
and because of this, no one knows about a KO, suspension, let alone that a
fighter fought as a Pro. This is not an isolated incident with MMA. It has
happened before and as in Pro Boxing, it will happen again. What needs to be
done is those of us in MMA need to be man enough to "Step-up"
and let people know when they see this coming. Thus was the case here...
It has been made clear to us here at the ISCF that several individuals KNEW Osburn
had fought Pro on this Oklahoma fight card before he was to fight on Mr.
Davidson's fight card as an Amateur. More so, these same individuals KNEW
he was Knocked Out on the Oklahoma event. However, because these
individuals work with some other ( So called) MMA sanctioning bodies
based out of Missouri and Oklahoma they thought they would rather try and make
the ISCF look bad here rather than "Step-up"
for the safety of a fighter that was just "KNOCKED-OUT!"
So due to their desired "Political Gain" none
of these other individuals were man enough to "Step-up" and
let anyone know about Osburn's KO... However, what these silent
individuals don't realize is that the "Negligence" card is on
them now, not the ISCF, not the Promoter
or the ISCF Event Representative.
So who is negligent here? Certainly Osburn holds the
main responsibility of his own negligence. However, in addition, those in the
sport who knew ahead of time and stayed quiet shall carry the burden of guilt as
well. By not stepping up, they risked the safety of Osburn to begin
with. With just 1 Pro fight, the difference of Osburn's ability would
not have been suddenly better having now fought that 1 Pro fight. However, he
would not have been allowed to fight as an amateur anymore.
When those associated with the ISCF
step-up and inform someone that a fighter on their card is pro and booked to
fight amateur, or that a fighter just got knocked out and he shouldn't fight,
many, even some state commissions take it as if we are crying to them. LET
THIS BE A LESSON NOW, Before someone gets Killed!
Even to the State commissions. If you are informed by ANYONE about a
fighter with circumstances such as these, you need to LISTEN!
Taking this a step further, IF other event promoters as
well as Sanctioning Bodies posted their pre-fight fight cards on a legitimate
web site (As the ISCF does), more people could see things like this
coming far before they happen. The question is though, "Who else will
do this?" Their excuse has always been "This is too much
work..." This is what sets the ISCF
apart from these other "So called Sanctioning bodies." To the
ISCF, sanctioning the sport of mixed
Martial Arts whether pro or amateur is more than letters and a sanctioning fee.
This is, as it has ALWAYS BEEN, about Fighter
Safety!
ISCF TAKES ANOTHER STEP FORWARD
For The Safety Of MMA!
What if Osburn would have died? Sound impossible? Tell
that to the California State Commission about a kickboxer named Redone
Bougara who, like Osburn, LIED about his past. If you really
want to read a story that will floor you, that VERY WELL could have
happened here, click HERE!
This action will not go without additional actions by the ISCF, towards Safety. Of course, Osburn will
be fined and suspended for his actions by not just the ISCF,
but other States as well.
In addition, the ISCF has
now put into play a MANDATORY Confirmation
form for all ISCF Amateur Fighters to sign
and date under penalty or perjury on the day of their event BEFORE their
scheduled fight that assures all involved that they are indeed an AMATEUR
Fighter and have NEVER fought as a Pro on any Full Contact fight event (MMA,
Boxing or Kickboxing). Despite the ISCF
doing fighter background checks (That no one else does, not even in USA
Boxing) the Osburn incident proves that fighters can and will fight
as a Professional one weekend and do their best to fool everyone else and fight
as an amateur the next weekend, knowing that their results are not posted
anywhere but maybe a message board which is not a confirmed and assured
location. This new mandatory fighter form has now been nicknamed the "OI
Form" for the Osburn Incident.
In addition, the form will also require truth of signature to
assure the fighter has not been suspended as well as knocked out or stopped by
Technical knock out within a certain number of days. Each form will require a
fighters signature, drivers license number, last 4 numbers of the fighters
social security number (For ID purposes) as well as the same from their
trainers. as in the Osburn case, his trainer, Glenn Cozzens of
Springfield, Missouri will also be fined and suspended due to allowing Osburn
to take such an action.

Vs
David Gaston
UPDATE
3-28-08:
- OFFICIAL ISCF
RULING: Originally ruled a "No Contest, After review of
this bout on DVD, the ISCF say no foul by
Mr. Gaston. Whitaker was in a choke and when he realized he was done he "Very
Gently" tapped on Gaston's arm. Because the actual "Tap"
was so light, it is very possible Gaston did not respond to it because
he didn't feel it. Gaston proceeded (as anyone else would have)
and waited until the Referee broke the fighters. Upon seeing the tap, referee
Mark Finnell moved in, but instead of first breaking the choke and the
fighters, he first waived the bout off, then broke the fighters. The time
between Whitaker's tap and the release of Gaston's choke was
between 2.5 and maybe 3 seconds. The time between when Finnell started
to pull the fighters apart and when Gaston released his choke lock was
1-1.5 seconds. Although Finnell could have broke the fighters first, the
ISCF saw no wrong doing by him since all
of this occurred in under 3 seconds.
- The ISCF was unable to rule on any of
the issues of unsportsmanlike conduct after the bout because the DVD did not
show anything after the bout. The ISCF is
making a formal demand to the promoters to see ALL FOOTAGE that the
Promoter has that may help the ISCF make a
determination as to how to rule on the unsportsmanlike issues after the bout
with Gaston's trainer Bob Long. The Promoters have 10 days from today (March
28th, 2008) to forward all footage to the ISCF
for review.
- The official announcement/result of this bout by
the ISCF is: Winner, David Gaston by Choke, round 1.
- Although his actions could have been inappropriate, due to the announced
result of the bout and why, the ISCF can understand why Amateur Fighter
David Gaston may have had inappropriate
conduct after the bout, however he was "NOT" neglect in follow referee
instructions during the bout.
- As of this time, the ISCF is holding
the following issues under review as they await for additional video/dvd footage
of the action after the stop of the bout:
- Any misconduct from Gaston's trainer, Bob Long after the
bout towards any of the ISCF Officials at the event.
- Interactions of the event Promoter with the ISCF

- Hereford was scheduled for his AMATEUR Debut on May 12th,
2007 on Bob Strasser's event, Freestyle Combat Challenge 27 in Waukegan,
Illionis against another first time fighter Joe Pritchard. By mistake, FCFighter
posted the bout as a Pro Fight instead of an amateur fight. On top of this, the
bout was sanctioned by KICK. KICK's Event Representative was Craig Monyelle.
Monyelle allowed Pritchard to fight even though he weighed WAY outside the
weightclass. Herford weighed in at 185 while Pritchard weight was 228 lbs, a
full 43 lbs over weight. After the bout Craig Monyell declared the fight a no
contest based on the weight discrepancy. However, Mr. Monyell never followed
through to request the correction on the FC fighter database or on other fighter
databases. Due to the ISCF's findings, Mr. Hereford is an AMATEUR Fighter.
- CANCELLED
ISCF PRO MMA BOUT
Jimmy
Snowberger Vs
Wade Choate
- According to the ISCF's
research, Jimmy Snowberger has NO FIGHT Experience. Wade
Choate has 16 bouts registered on FCFighter
plus 2 more 2007 events we found on Sherdog. He has
a minimum of 18 fights, 10 of which were pro mma bouts. Because of the lopsided
match-up, the ISCF has cancelled this
bout.
On top of this, Choate fought his first amateur bout in August of
2003. In december of 2003 he fought as a PRO MMA Fighter. After 2 Pro bouts, he
came back in march of 2004 and alternated amateur - pro bouts back and forth
until October of 2007 when he fought an Amateur bout in Indiana. After being a
PRO MMA Fighter he fought as an AMATEUR "7 TIMES" - That we were able
to find. Knowing his history of abusing the Amateur Fighter Rule, the ISCF would
rather he fight on non ISCF events. To see his FCFighter fight history click

IBL Team
Announced!
As we start to confirm some of the owner
Applications, we would like to announce the name of the first IBL Team. Please welcome the KC Cage Monster's who will be based out of
Overland Park, Kansas. The Team Owners are Mr. Greg Van Etten of
Labor Pros -
www.laborpros.net and well known Missouri and Kansas ISCF Fight Promoter Mr. Phil Jones of
True Fight Fan -
www.TrueFightFan.com - The Team plans to name their Coaches early
next week along with their first fighters. Congratulations Cage Monsters! The next question now is "Who's Next?"

WEDNESDAY,
February 6th, 2008, AT 8:40 PM,
PT
Hang On
Everyone...
The IBL Is Gaining
MORE SPEED!
The IBL is catching on
fast and the eyes are looking this way....! All with VERY
LITTLE marketing of the first legit Amateur MMA Team Fight League. Who would
have ever thought that such a league would have such a BANG before
hitting any of the main media sources!
Although the official announcement of the IBL happened late on Friday, January 18th, the
Official IBL website was not launched
until after 8:PM on Wednesday, January 23rd. What has surprised everyone here is
the massive interest in the IBL. From
Thursday, January 24th up until yesterday, Tuesday, February 5th (13 days)
the IBL site has had over 1,200 "Unique"
visitors to the site and over 33,000 hits. Yes... "Thirty Three
THOUSAND!" Already the sites "Alexa" numbers have
jumped from a first week in the millions to already under
900,000 (862,291). In the last week the site dipped
even lower to
647,238. Alexa.com is a web rating site that ranks web site
ratings. The lower the number, the more traffic the site is getting.
Surprisingly a lot of interest has come from outside the USA as well. So far
individuals from 14 other countries have e-mailed us here at the IBL Headquarters asking if the IBL plans to expand outside the USA immediately or
if the growth plan is slower. Those inquiries have come from the USA neighboring
countries of Canada and Mexico of course, that could easily be added into the
IBL mix. However, the surprise to the IBL has been the interest from the countries of
England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Ghana, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands
and Hungary. The biggest surprise was the inquiries received from Japan. Seems
they have a big desire to start up an IBL
League in Asia. Sweden has shown a big interest in the IBL
too. So much that 9% of the IBL site
traffic worldwide has come from there. The Alexa rank for the IBL site in the USA is 272,541 while in Sweden it's
at 140,700. "I'm not sure how fast we want to grow outside the USA."
Said IBL Commissioner Steve Fossum.
"This has exploded far beyond our original growth plans and Steve (Crawford,
IBL VP of Operations) and myself
have found ourselves overwhelmed with inquiry e-mails now and we are still in
the Team building stages."
The IBL has now posted a
"Question
Answer ( Q & A )" page (Click HERE) to answer a lot of
the general questions they have been receiving. Added soon will be a "Fighters
Available" page. This page will list some of the Amateur fighters
looking to get on IBL Teams. As the Teams
Owners and Coaches are announced, some of the Teams will offer try-outs.
However, most Teams already have all their fighters. More IBL News coming later, but for now... "Battle ON!"

IBL GROWING FASTER
THAN EXPECTED Another Weightclass Is
Added And First Season Looking Exciting!
There has been a lot going on with the IBL since it was launched back on Friday, January
18th. Just over two weeks old and the ball is rollin much faster than expected.
One of the big additions is the adding of another weightclass. This was due to
High Demand of requests by the smaller fighters in the Featherweight division.
This makes 6 weightclasses for the IBL
which are
- Featherweight, 135 lbs. to 145 lbs.
- Lightweight, 145 lbs. to 155 lbs.
- Welterweight, 155 lbs. to 170 lbs.
- Middleweight, 170 lbs. to 185 lbs.
- Light Heavyweight, 185 lbs. to 205 lbs.
- Heavyweight, 205 lbs. to 265 lbs.
Of course this adds the question of "What if there is
a 3-3 tie at the end of a Team competition?" Well within a couple of
weeks the IBL will announce the exciting
way a Tie will be broken by the two Teams if it occurs.
In addition, the IBL is
also creating ways to allow Team Owners to host more events. Various plans
include Team Tryout Events as well as competitions among the Teams Alternate
fighters.
The IBL Owners page has
also been updated which includes an Owners Application. (
IBL Owners Page ) As the IBL approaches the March 1st Deadline for Team
Registration, already there are several teams established in Missouri along with
Virginia, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas. Additional interest is coming
from North Carolina, New Mexico, Indiana, Ohio, Arkansas, Tennessee and several
other States. "This may be bigger than we have plans for, which is a
good thing as long as we can keep up with the demand, which is actually a good
thing." Said IBL VP of Operations
Steve Crawford. "We are excited about the response for Teams
and Steve Crawford has been doing a great job to get the word out" said
IBL Commissioner Steve Fossum. "We
haven't even started our initial advertising for the league and already we have
Teams established."
For the first year the IBL
is offering initial Team owners special incentives on things such as IBL merchandise licensing, non IBL event Sanctioning discounts, Graphic design work
and several other incentives. As Teams are added, the new Amateur Fight League
keeps attracting more and more intention. "It's about time someone took
the Amateur Seriously." Says Fossum. "Wait till they
see them do Battle!"
