Subject: Re: IFL Tryouts Author: Brandon Weaver [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:27:02 06/11/07 Mon In reply to: The Hitman 's message, "IFL Tryouts" on 22:30:30 06/08/07 Fri I have no idea, But I do have a question. How many professional fights do you have? IFL is good talent, alot of guys who have been in the UFC and other guys who were on professional tears on their way there and are stopping off in the IFL. A tryout cant hurt, but if you want into a bigger promotion my advice would be to have your manager/coach talk to guys who run shows like KOTC, the fights in Ohio (forget name of promotion), or extreme challenge. Those shows tend to be the stairs that lead to the WEC, IFL or if you get on a hot streak bigger shows yet. The thing with a tryout, the guys with fewer pro fights who get chosen are going to be tough D-1 wrestlers, BJJ competition Brown and Black belts, etc. Guys who require less development in one area or two in other words. If you are that level of grappler, no problem, but if not a tryout isnt always the best way to move on to bigger and better things. This is all just my opinion. Its been known to be wrong, but I like to pass em out like candy all the same. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
