IBL To Have A
WESTERN CONFERENCE
After All!

Last week we announced the interest from a potential California IBL Team. Well, things have been moving fast since that post was made last week and the reality is, "There WILL be an IBL Western Conference!"

Today the IBL spoke to Erwin Swetnam in Idaho who has committed to an IBL Team out of Idaho.

"Thanks again for the opportunity to let TEAM IDAHO ELITE compete in the IBL. We are excited and looking forward to the challenge. Battle On!" Said Swetnam.

The "Idaho Elite" will be based out of Boise Idaho but will feature fighters from throughout the State and possibly outside the state. It is planned now that "Idaho Elite" will now align with the "So-Cal Fighting Stallions" as well as possibly Jason Carley's "Laramie Landminds" out of Laramie, Wyoming. Although it may seem like a long drive for Carley's Team to Southern California, the reality is, Amateur MMA is still not legal in California so at least 3 of the 4 Western Conference events will be held in Idaho and Wyoming. If a Nevada, Arizona or New Mexico IBL Team fills the 4th slot for the Western Conference, the 4th season event could be held in one of those other states.

Swetnam is associated with the ISCF Sanctioned Promotion, "Ultimate Northwest Fighting Championship" (UNFC) who will be hosting another ISCF Sanctioned event at the Eldon Evans Expo Center in Twin Falls, Idaho, USA this coming June 7th. The UNFC is operated by Jeremy Burtch, Nate Petit and Ray Peralez. who may also have interest in the new "Idaho Elite" IBL Team.

Although the "Laramie Landminds" and the "Idaho Elite" will have their own home venues, the So-Cal Fighting Stallions will still need help with their home venue due to the fact that Amateur MMA is not legal in California. As previously mentioned, the So-Cal Fighting Stallions are willing to pack up and travel to meet up in the ring with whomever their competition is. The good side for them is now they may not need to travel all the way to Missouri for their events.

Now the IBL will be adding two different teams to the Central Conference. Already IBL Director of Operations Steve Crawford has some Teams ready to add to the Central Conference so the change will not be a big issue since the season won't be starting until late June now.

IBL
PRO "TEAM" MMA?
TV?

As many here know, PASSION drives individuals to succeed. However, without that Passion towards something you are working on, the fire soon dies. So is the story with Jay Larkin's recent leadership role with the IFL, - International Fight League. Larkin was billed as the Knight on the big white horse who was going to ride the IFL to the top. Instead, he has been coasting down hill wondering "What's up?"

Larkin has plenty of accomplishments to his name. Over 20 years at media giant Showtime with claims of rising to become one of the most powerful deal makers in sports and entertainment during his storied career. He created countless entertainment specials involving stars ranging from Dave Chappelle, Britney Spears, The Spice Girls and Jay-Z to legends like Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones among others for the network and pay per view.

During that time Larkin also oversaw the channel's entrance into boxing, beginning in 1986 with Marvelous Marvin Hagler's middleweight title defense against John Mugabi, thus creating the powerhouse Showtime Championship Boxing. He negotiated the deals and was the executive producer of some of boxing's most legendary matchups of the last quarter century, including numerous Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Julio Cesar Chavez fights. Larkin also was one of the key negotiators for what was the biggest money fight in history, the 2002 heavyweight championship bout between Lennox Lewis and Tyson that happened because of a landmark deal between Showtime (Tyson's network) and rival HBO (Lewis' network). Just before leaving Showtime, Larkin put together Ricky Hatton vs. Kostya Tszyu and Joe Calzaghe vs. Jeff Lacy, two career-changing events for both Hatton and Calzaghe. Just prior to joining the IFL, he completed negotiations for the upcoming blockbuster match of Calzaghe and Mikkel Kessler for HBO and Sports Network.

So what has he done for the IFL?
That is where the problem is...And that problem is Passion, or lack of it in Larkin's case towards MMA as a Sport!

The services were not needed this year since the IFL events were only in states where Boxing Commissions ran the show. However, this was not a negative to the ISCF. The ISCF. had a very successful relationship with the IFL and made some great relationships with many in the IFL. Those relationships formed from the ISCF. were transferred over to the founding of the IBL (International Battle League) where it was made clear that the IBL was not another PRO FIGHT creation of competition vs the IFL. In fact, even without the PRO tie in, the IBL's structure is VERY Different than the structure of the IFL.

It's no secret that Larkin only saw the usual MMA $$ signs when he took over the IFL Helm as CEO. However, what the Boxing Fan Larkin did not have was PASSION for MMA and without Passion, you can't sell what you do. This was Larkin's main problem. Sure he saved the IFL tons of money by cutting tons of people out and changing the TEAM structure of the League. However, no matter what he did, he just wasn't an MMA fan. This lack of Passion for the sport showed more often than not to those he tried to sell the IFL to and without sponsors, TV or no TV, it's hard to make it in the "Big Leagues" where IFL Founder Kurt Otto and his crew took the IBL in just 1 year. Otto and his team PROVED what PASSION could do and in less than a year, Larkin has proved what lack of it can do also...

As the founder of the IFL, Kurt Otto had passion! Otto DID Care about the teams, the fighters, the IBL and more so, MMA as a Sport! That Passion came from his background for the sport which has been life long. He began training in the martial arts at age seven, and continued throughout his high school and college years, competing in full contact Tae Kwon Do (he is a second degree blackbelt) and kickboxing, as well as being a highly competitive wrestler.

That PASSION Otto showed is something Larkin has never shown, not even to the press when talking about the IFL. Without that much needed passion, Larkin has done little to sell the IFL as a mainstream MMA League. In fact, he has even made comments such as "Only UFC is making money in MMA, no one else." Well Mr. Larkin, tell that to those we work with, or those successful organizations such as Strikeforce, Elite XC, and many others pulling down million dollar event gates. MMA is still growing, and all Larkin had to do was "Believe in it as a Sport."

MMA has not even come close to it's peak and the sport is STILL Exploding! When the IBL was first formed, Commissioner Steve Fossum (Left) and Director of Operations, Steve Crawford (Right) made clear that their loyalty to the IFL would keep them from creating a PRO Structured TEAM Fight League. Although we cannot talk about some of the inside scoop as of yet, what if we shared with you today some scoop that may open the doors WIDE OPEN for the IBL to add in a full PRO MMA Team League that it's Amateur league would feed directly in to? Well Fight Fans, lets just say. "Things are in the works!"

Let us just say that those loyal ties with the IFL from those in the ISCF and IBL were never with Larkin... or his lack of Passion for MMA. Those loyal ties were to those the ISCF and IBL saw as Passionate Promoters of MMA. From Kurt Otto to the guy who set up their outstanding fight ring, Willie Faircloth, those loyal relationships were with those who "Made things happen!"

Two people that come to mind the most are Keith Evans and Lisa Faircloth. Together these two laterally BUILT the "Working Structure" for the IFL's Event success. They did not have a play in the "Spending" part of the company, but in their jobs, they brought SUCCESS to the IFL. without them, those IFL events we saw would have been a disorganized mess! As Director of Events, Lisa Faircloth took the bull by the horns and simply put, "MADE THINGS HAPPEN!"

Another individual who was a CLASS ACT, yet no surprise to anyone here is the IFL's Vice President of Fighter Operations, Bas Rutten. No matter where he was, what he was doing, Bas had time for ANYONE! To us, he was the TRUE Ambassador of MMA and is one of the most colorful and well-respected personalities in all of the MMA world. Bas competed professionally for over 20 years in various MMA disciplines, and was a three time champion in Pancrase (the Japanese precursor to what is now MMA) as well as holding the UFC heavyweight division title.

His first role with the IFL was as head coach of the Los Angeles-based Anacondas. He then moved into the broadcast booth, co-hosting of the popular "IFL Battleground" program, while also serving as ambassador for the league and the sport in general. In addition to the broadcasting role, he was named Vice President, Fighter Operations in January 2008.

Keith Evans was the IFL's Vice President of Operations. Their backgrounds did not start with the IFL. They were directly responsible for a lot of the growth and development of the UFC, Ultimate Fight Championship, before being offered a position at the IFL.

Evans and Faircloth joined the IFL in January of 2006 from the UFC, where they spent several years helping orchestrate the re-branding and growth of the UFC. While there he handled a variety of duties, many of which he has had a hand in with the IFL as well such as logistical issues. He played a key day to day role in the success of over 30 live UFC events, overseeing information technology, website, merchandise, and sponsorships, as well as serving as business development liaison with UFC licensees. Simply put, Keith, like Lisa, "MADE THINGS HAPPEN!"

So what is this all about? Well, lets just say that the IFL's loss may be the IBL's gain. What does that mean exactly? What did the IFL lose? Well sorry, but we can't shed a lot of light on it right now, but we will soon. We have given enough insight away for now and if you put it all together, you should be able to come to your own potential conclusion. With that being said, we have to get back to work, and we suggest you all do the same, so..."Battle ON!"



OK... A Little More Info On The Story Above

IFL CEO Jay Larkin has made one of his worst decisions since taking over the IFL. This week he let go Keith Evans, IFL VP of Operations, and Lisa Faircloth, Director of Events and to "Save Money" he closed down the IFL's Las Vegas office which handled the bulk of event operations and includes tasks like signing fighters and organizing live events. However, this cost cut may be to Larkin's own throat.

Both Evans and Faircloth are former Zuffa employees and were essential to the IFL putting on a strong event any time in the coming months. A VP of Operations isn't so easily replaced, especially an experienced veteran of the MMA wars like Evans. Faircloth held together much of the Vegas staff, and her departure is said to have other IFL Operations employees sending out resumes as fast as they can print them off.

This could be a sign that the IFL is considering drastically scaling back their live event operations in the near future. If that's the case, it makes you wonder what the IFL's plan is over the long term. It seems as if they may be counting on finding a buyer soon, and are content to wait it out without losing any more money on events in the meantime.

The questions now are, who is next? Bas Rutten?



Did UFC Hurt The IFL?

Read for yourself how Dana White made it his mission to destroy them with threats to well known MMA stars like Pat Miletich, Ken Shamrock and Matt Hughes. Don't take our word for it, just click HERE.

RE: UFC Lawsuit against the IFL:
From Pat Miletich's sworn statement that Miletich gave in the UFC-IFL court case, according to the public records.
"Knowing Mr. White the way I do, I can honestly say that Zuffa's intent is bringing this litigation has nothing to do with protecting any confidential information. Rather, I believe this litigation is about one thing and one thing only -- stamping out legitimate and, indeed, healthy, competition."
