Completely unimportant, but still pretty damn weird news from an IFL press release:
Weight loss and fitness experts to assist IFL athletes in making weight for April 4 show at Izod Center
NEW YORK, March 27, 2008 - The International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI) today announced that twins Jim and Bill Germanakos, the most recent winners of NBC's hit show "The Biggest Loser," will host the IFL weigh-in next Thursday, April 3, at 3 p.m. at L.A. Boxing in Secaucus, N.J., and give tips to the athletes trying to make weight for the IFL "New Blood, New Battles" show at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J. The fights will take place on Friday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m.
"These athletes are in unbelievable shape, but if there are any quick tips that we can help them with to shed a few ounces as they hit their desired weight, it will be our pleasure," Bill Germanakos said. "The sport of Mixed Martial Arts is a great base for training and weight loss since it involves so many aspects of conditioning, including strength and flexibility and self discipline, so this will be fun for us as we continue to spread our message of healthy lifestyle to a larger audience." All information for Jim and Bill can be found at WeightLossTwins.com.
...I don't really know what to say. It's cute I guess? The healthy lifestyle thing is certainly a nice angle to take as it's a good positive spin. But with as hot at the IFL show is going to be it just wasn't the type of press release I expected to show up in my inbox.
