IFL Fighters Make Weight

 Previous Video Next Video
DAVENPORT, Iowa, Sept. 22 — Stepping on the scale Friday afternoon in front of a hometown crowd at a local Hooters restaurant, Pat Miletich (Pictures) easily made weight for his first mixed martial arts bout in over four years.

The trainer of such fighters as Matt Hughes (Pictures), Tim Sylvia (Pictures) and Jens Pulver (Pictures) looked ready for his main event fight at The Mark of the Quad Cities, which sits just minutes from Miletich's famous gym, against Renzo Gracie (Pictures), who also had no problem making the 185-pound limit.

In team competition, only New York Pitbull middleweight Fabio Leopoldo (Pictures) and lightweight Marcio Feitosa, both coached by Gracie, came in over their respective limits. The Pitbulls, who challenge the Miletich-led Silverbacks for a second time, proceeded to make weight — 185.5 for Leopoldo and 156 for Feitosa — in the one-hour period afforded to fighters in their position.

In their IFL league debuts, Frank Shamrock (Pictures) watched as his San Jose Razorclaws each made weight in their first attempts. The Carlos Newton (Pictures)-led Toronto Dragons, who face Shamrock's squad, did the same.

News and Notes

International Fight League commissioner Kurt Otto announced the addition of two coaches to the fledgling fight league. UFC veterans Don Frye (Pictures) and Marco Ruas (Pictures) have been signed to field teams for future events.

Also, two non-IFL league bouts were revealed for the organization's November card in Atlantic City. After toying with Wes Sims (Pictures) in June, Daniel Gracie (Pictures) returns to the IFL to fight fellow Brazilian Allan Goes (Pictures). Also Mark Kerr (Pictures) has agreed to face The Ultimate Fighter veteran Mike Whitehead (Pictures).
