From a press release in my inbox:
NEW YORK, January 23, 2008 - The International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI) today announced the latest step in its reorganization heading into the 2008 season, naming Mixed Martial Arts legend Sebastian "Bas" Rutten to the newly-created position of Vice President, Fighter Operations. Rutten, who has been with the IFL since its inception as a coach and commentator, will oversee the contact between the IFL, its current athletes and other athletes in the sport, as well as working to create potential future matchups and cards both internally and with other organizations. He will report directly to IFL CEO Jay Larkin.
There will also be a conference call today with Rutten and Larkin to "discuss a future IFL event and Championship matchups".
I'm far too outside the organization to tell you anything meaningful, so I'll be prudent at this juncture. It is nice to see Bas get a little richer with each passing year, though.
Update [2008-1-23 12:36:35 by Luke Thomas]:: One other thought - does anyone else get the sense that management turnover at the IFL is surpassingly high?
