The
International Fight League makes its triumphant return to the Rose City
for the World Team Championships
Semi-finals Thursday, November 2nd,
at the
Memorial
Coliseum. On Wednesday night, the NW FightScene staff
joined
the league at City Sportsbar
for the weigh-ins. The
venue was packed,
and there was a
lot of excitement for the semi-finals
and superfights.
We
got plenty of photos from all the fun plus we have audio interviews
with
Anaconda's Coach, Bas Rutten, and Silverbacks Coach, Pat Miletich.
Bas
talking about his knee and fighting again HERE!
Bas
on his team of coaches and who he trains with HERE!
Pat
on Renzo Gracie and his future in fighting HERE!
Pat
interrupted by Ian Freeman and Carlos Newton HERE!
The
event was particularly special for us, as we unveiled the first printed
edition
of
NW
FightScene to an audience of enthused professionals and legends of MMA.
This
opportunity
was nothing short of an honor, and we appreciate the support from
everyone
involved with The International Fight League.
