Press Release from The IFL

Olympic Silver Medalist Matt Lindland, NCAA Champion Mark Kerr, Other Champions Head "All-Star" Lineup For Free Event At Team Quest Training Center

PORTLAND, Ore., October 17, 2006 - Olympic Silver Medalist Matt Lindland, NCAA

champion Mark Kerr, and mixed martial arts champions Pat Miletich and Carlos Newton

will head an "All-Star" lineup of instructors at a clinic for high school and collegiate wrestlers

at Team Quest Training Center in Portland on Tuesday, October 31, from 7 - 8:30 p.m.

The clinic is open to all high school and collegiate wrestlers in Oregon and Southwestern

Washington. There is no charge to attend (pre-registration required), and all attendees over

18 and/or their parents will receive a voucher good for two free tickets to the

International Fight League (IFL) World Team Championship, a mixed martial arts

event to be held at Memorial Coliseum in Portland on November 2.

The evening will include demonstrations and discussions by the champions, along with

hands-on instruction in the sport of wrestling. Team Quest is located at 18206 SE Stark St.

in Portland. Those interested in attending should contact Jerry Milani at the IFL

at 212/765-5700 x626, or press@ifl.tv for more information. 

"This clinic is a unique - maybe even once-in-a-lifetime - opportunity for high school and

collegiate wrestlers and coaches to learn from the masters of our sport," said Lindland.

"They can all benefit greatly from the combined knowledge of these great champions. And

as a bonus, those over 18 can come out and experience a great night of mixed martial arts."

The four stars will be in town along with more than 30 other coaches and athletes as part of

the IFL event, which will feature semifinal matches between Lindland's hometown Wolfpack

and Bas Rutten's Anacondas, based in Los Angeles, as well as Miletich's Silverbacks vs.

 Newton's Dragons. The night will also feature two Superfights, including Kerr vs. Mike

 Whitehead and Allan Goes vs. Daniel Gracie.
