Came across this while browsing for gear. Dont know if it has been up before.


"The addition of the Wolfpack (training in Portland, Oregon), the Dragons (training in Tokyo, Japan) the Sabres (training in Toronto, Ontario) and the Razorclaws (training in San Jose, California) will bring to eight the number of IFL teams to date.

Additionally, Shamus announced that world champion Frank Shamrock will join the coaching staff, overseeing the Razorclaws. Shamrock will join a coaching staff for the fall that already includes Olympic silver medalist Matt Lindland (Wolfpack), World heavyweight wrestling champion and Hall-of-Famer Antonio Inoki (Dragons) and World Welterweight champion Carlos “The Ronin” Newton (Sabres)."

Shamrock's team rteplaced the one that was originally meant to be headed by Mark Coleman.

Now thats an upgrade.

Then again if Wes Sims and Ross Pointon (he's trained with Coleman and Sims since TUF3) had been on Coleman's team the IFL would instantly become the number one franchise, not just in MMA but in the entire world of professional sports.

I'm anticipating the Dragons will end up the being used by Inoki to live out his feverish MMA dreams, much like a fifty year old almost-made-it Hollywood actress living through her daughter.

Really? I like Hamanaka, I think he's got a lot of mileage.
