|
NEW YORK - The International Fight League will hit the Chicago area hard with a week of partner activations and media activity, all leading up to Saturday night's live broadcast on MyNetworkTV at the Sears Centre in suburban Hoffman Estates, Ill.
The IFL World Grand Prix, which will air at 9 p.m. on Saturday, will feature the light heavyweight title fight between Vladimir "The Janitor" Matyushenko and Alex Schoenauer and a highly-anticipated rematch between undefeated lightweight Chris "The Polish Hammer" Horodecki and local favorite Bart "Bartimus" Palaszewski among the nine bouts.
"This will be a big week, not just for the IFL, its coaches and athletes but also for the sport of MMA," said Gareb Shamus, IFL co-founder and CEO. "Whether it is a lengthy national feature on a legend like Pat Miletich and his athletes on ESPN, our live broadcast on MyNetworkTV, or the activation of sponsorships with partners like the USO, Warner Home Video and Muscle Milk, we are continuing to show that in just over a year the sport and the IFL brand continues to make solid strides into the mainstream." |
