ISCF Makes Amateur Matchmaking
EASIER For Promoters & Fighters
But Maintains Accountability

After a successful year as the ONLY MMA Sanctioning Body that does Fighter Background checks to assure Amateurs are TRUE Amateurs and not Professional MMA Fighters, the ISCF looked back to see where changes could be made to assist Promoters as well as Fighters for Amateur Fights. Several aspects of the new Amateur Matchmaking rule were discussed among ISCF Representatives and in the end, several changes were made. "We wanted to see what could be done to make it easier for ISCF Promoters to register fighters for their events." Said ISCF President Steve Fossum. "At the Same time we didn't want to lose our Integrity." Said ISCF World Representative Steve Crawford. This being said, here are just some of the changes for the Amateur Matchmaking rule for 2008.

To see all the changes to the Amateur Matchmaking rule, Click HERE.

Simply put, you will never find the following comments on ANY ISCF Page... "Under Construction"... some of those other "Rubber Stamp" organizations out there have been "Under Construction" since they started.. and if you check, they STILL have "Under Construction" on many of their web pages today....

ISCF... A REAL MMA Sanctioning Body for REAL Champions & Fighters! NOT A "Rubber Stamp, Rubber Champion" Organization!

ISCF Adjusts
Sanctioning Fee Schedule

Another change the ISCF has made for 2008 is a more open time frame for sanctioning fees. Instead of a 30 day prior to event deadline, the general sanction fee now extends to 20 days prior to an event before any late/penalty fee is assessed.

In addition, for those promoters who choose to sanction their events inside 20 days prior to their event, the ISCF has accessed less of a penalty for sanctioning fees paid inside 20 days prior to the Promoters events. To see the new adjustments click HERE!

RESULTS FROM
"PURE FORCE VI - The RETURN!"
December 15th, 2007 - Tinley Park, Illinois, USA

Submitted by IKF/ISCF Representative Michael Storm: Some drove for hours through a snowstorm to make it to Tinley Park, Illinois just to be a part of an all amateur Mixed Martial Arts, Muay Thai and Full Contact Rules extravaganza"Pure Force VI-The Return". The crowd of spectators was treated to a full night of hard hitting action put on by the guys at HCX International Entertainment at the Tinley Park Convention Center.
Here are the results of the night…

  1. Men's Junior Middleweight Muay Thai
    Marcus Hurt, 1-0-0, Rebels of Destruction, Chicago, IL, vs Bob Hoogland, 0-1-0, Premier Martial Arts, John Geyston, Springfield, IL
    Round 1: Hurt starts with kicks to Hoogland's legs and body. Hoogland responds with a series of left/right punching combinations toward Hurt's head that knock Hurt's headgear off of his head and appears to briefly stun Hurt. Once the headgear is replaced, Hurt uses kicks to keep some distance between Hoogland and himself but Hoogland comes in with the punches to Hurt's head and again knocks Hurt's headgear off. The edge in the round went to Hoogland on all scorecards.
    Round 2: The second round was a closer round and a better round for Hurt. He began with leg kicks to Hoogland and followed up with punching combinations of his own that back Hoogland up. When Hoogland was backed to the rope, he would clinch and Hurt would start with the knees to Hoogland's body. Hoogland pushed Hurt off and landed a couple of well placed and strong hooks to Hurt's head which stalled Hurt's attack. The edge in the round went to Hurt on two of the three judges scorecards.
    Round 3: Hurt begins with the leg kicks which Hoogland tries to side step as he delivers several more power punches to Hurt's head. Hurt clinches Hoogland and begins to attack with his knees. Hoogland pushes Hurt off and throws more punches to Hurt's head. Hurt decides to stand and trade head shots with Hoogland toward the end of the fight with both fighters trying to deliver the knockout shot that will take the decision of a very close fight out of the hands of the judges but to no avail as the bell rang to end the fight.
    The judges scored the fight 29-28, 28-29 and 29-28. Winner by Split Decision-Marcus Hurt.

  2. Women's Featherweight Muay Thai
    Katie Klimansky, 1-2-0, Jeff Webber, Chicago, IL, vs Amber Gallagher, 2-0-0, Ryan Blackorby, Peoria, IL
    Round 1: Gallagher attacks with kicks to the legs and body of Klimansky. Klimansky tries to tie her up but then starts taking knees to the body from Gallagher which causes Klimansky to shove her off. They trade several leg kicks from the outside and some knees from the inside. Eventually Gallagher catches a body kick thrown by Klimansky and punches her right in the face as she drives Klimansky to the ropes where Klimansky ties her up. Gallagher steps back and finishes the round with a series of leg kicks to give her the edge in the round on all judges' scorecards.
    Round 2: Gallagher tries to begin the round as she ended the first with leg kicks followed up by punches. Klimansky ties her up and they exchange knees before Gallagher pushes Klimansky off. Gallagher appears determined to break Klimansky down with a lead leg kick followed up by punching combinations throughout most of the round. All judges gave Gallagher the edge in the round.
    Round 3: Gallagher, clearly the aggressor in the final round, continues attacking Klimansky's legs with powerful kicks that back Klimansky up to the ropes. When Gallagher is able to get inside, she's able to throw knees to the body and punches to the face that kept a tired Klimansky on the defensive throughout most of the round. Klimansky repeatedly tried to stall the action with tight clinches but due to inactivity in the clinch, Referee Terri Storm was forced to break the fighters giving Gallagher the opportunity to start a new attack.
    All judges scored the fight 30-27. Winner by Unanimous Decision-Amber Gallagher.

  3. Men's Super Middleweight Muay Thai
    Nick Beideman, 1-0-0, Hackney's Fight Crew, Bloomington, IL, vs Michelo Pryor, 0-1-0, Premier Martial Arts, John Geyston, Springfield, IL
    Round 1: Beideman comes across the ring throwing punches at Pryor. Pryor responds with kicks followed up by a flying knee to Beideman's body that backs Beideman off. Beideman lands a right hook to Pryor's head that causes him to tie Beideman up. Beideman pushes Pryor off, attempts a round kick to Pryor's head that Pryor avoids but lands a series of punches to Pryor's head. Beideman appears to be trying to load up the right hand. He lands several that Pryor manages to shake off but none the less score. The edge in the round went to Beideman on the judges' cards.
    Round 2: Beideman begins with kicks to the legs, body and head of Pryor followed up by punches, many of which were partially blocked. Pryor answers back with kicks and punches of his own causing Beideman to tie him up to stall his attack. Beideman steps back and renews his attack. Although Pryor is able to block many of the blows from Beideman, Beideman dictates the pace as the clear aggressor in the round. As the round ends, Beideman throws a series of punches to Pryor's body finishing with a round kick to the head. The judges gave the edge in the round to Beideman on all cards.
    Round 3: Beideman begins with a round kick to Pryor's body followed up with a series of punches to the head. Pryor answers with punches of his own, neither fighter showing any damage. Both fighters are tired and neither appears to want to take the dominant position in the round. Eventually, Beideman throws a left/right combination to Pryor's head that forces Pryor to tie him up. Beideman pushes him off and continues the combinations to Pryor's head as the round ends.
    All judges scored the fight 30-27. Winner by Unanimous Decision, Nick Beideman.

  4. Men's Welterweight MMA
    Ben Gladem, 0-0-0, 1 No Contest, Independent, Janesville, WI, Vs Joe Powers 1-1-0, 1 No Contest, Ryan Blackorby, Peoria, Il
    Both fighters begin with an exchange of jabs when Gladem hits Powers with a hook to the jaw that drops Powers and causes him to try a takedown. Gladem wraps his arm around Powers' head and attempts a guillotine. Powers gets his head out and pushes Gladem up against the ropes in a side mount and throws knees to Gladem's body. Powers throws an illegal knee that hits Gladem in the head causing Referee Robert Hinds to stop time to give Gladem time to recover. Dr. Bruce Hertz comes in to check Gladem out as Referee Robert Hinds deducts a point from Powers for the knee strike. Gladem tells the doctor he's ready to continue. As the fight continues, they both start standing in the ring and exchange a couple of combinations to each others head as the round ends. At the end of the round, Gladem says he can't continue because of the knee to the head.
    At the event: Referee Robert Hinds ruled the fight a "NO CONTEST" Bout.
    ISCF Has Reviewed the circumstances of this bout and Ruled as follows:
    "If a fighter chooses to continue after ANY type of an injury, the bout is scored as any other bout. This is because the fighter made the decision him/herself to continue. Thus, the official result will be;
    Powers defeated Gladem by TKO when Gladem could not answer the bell in round 2.
  5. Men's Lightweight MMA
    Jeff Charlebois, 1-1-0, James & Ron Hill, Shorewood, IL., Vs Floyd Hodges 0-1-0, Craig Monyelle, Illinois
    Round 1: Charlebois begins with a lead leg kick which Hodges answers with a couple of punches. Charlebois ducks the punches and goes in for a single leg takedown. He picks Hodges up to dump him but Hodges falls on top of Charlebois in a half mount and attempts an armbar. Charlebois turns into Hodges and gets his arm out but Hodges maintains the half mount on top. After a period of inactivity, the referee stands them up to continue in the middle of the ring. Charlebois fakes a punch and shoots in for a takedown. Hodges turns to his knees allowing Charlebois to grab him around the waist and dump him again, Hodges on the bottom, Charlebois on the top as the round ends. As Charlebois proved the more aggressive with his several takedown attempts, he received the edge in the round on all judges' scorecards.
    Round 2: The fighters exchange kicks before Hodges moves in and wraps his arms around Charlebois' waist. Charlebois throws a couple of knees to Hodges' body and turns him into the ropes. Charlebois picks Hodges up and dumps him on the ground with a side mount. Charlebois throws knees to the body and repositions himself with his knees up around Hodges' head so he can punch both sides of Hodges' body. Hodges manages to twist, facing Charlebois and stands up. Charlebois shoots for a takedown but Hodges sprawls and controls the top position until the end of the round. All judges gave the edge in the round to Charlebois.
    Round 3: Hodges tries a front kick but Charlebois backs off and avoids it. Charlebois charges in, picks up Hodges and throws him down. Charlebois, in a side mount, starts kneeing Hodges body. Charlebois swings his leg over into a full mount and attempts a ground and pound. Hodges pulls him down to neutralize the attack.

  6. Men's Heavyweight Muay Thai

    Round 1: Grabowski comes across the ring and throws a barrage of kicks and punches that back Gaston into the corner. He continues to attack Gaston in the corner where Gaston covers up and blocks most of the blows. Referee Mike Storm tells Gaston to fight out of the corner to show him he's unhurt. Gaston bursts out of the corner with his own flurry of punches which backs Grabowski up to the middle of the ring. Both fighters in the middle of the ring now begin to exchange techniques. Each fighter throwing every shot as a power shot. Gaston hits Grabowski in the face and bloodies his nose. The time stops when Gaston's headgear is knocked off. Referee Mike Storm sends Grabowski to the neutral corner as he gets Gaston's headgear replaced. Grabowski's corner comes onto the apron and attempts to go to the neutral corner. Referee Mike Storm admonishes the cornerman and explains that his fighter can be disqualified for such an action. As the fight continues Gaston appears determined to take charge forcing Grabowski back with some vicious body and head shots but Grabowski continued to fight back. As the bell rang to end the round, both fighters refused to stop fighting which forced the referee to step in and warn both fighters. Two of the three judges gave the edge to Gaston in the round.
    Round 2: Grabowski begins the round as he started the first round, with a barrage of kicks and punches backing Gaston into the corner. Gaston blocks most of the shots and shows that he is unhurt as he again bursts out of the corner with an explosion of punches to the head and body of Grabowski which back Grabowski into a corner and forces him to turn away from Gaston to avoid getting punched. He began fighting back briefly but soon turned his back again to Gaston and leaned over the ropes to avoid the attack forcing the referee to issue a standing 8-count. Grabowski's corner was upset claiming that he had lost his mouthpiece. The referee warned him that he can't spit his mouthpiece out to avoid getting hit. The mouthpiece was replaced and the fight continued. Both fighters came at each other with ferocious intent. Another exchange of head shots knocks Gaston's headgear off again. As time is stopped both fighters taunt each other to "bring it on". Gaston is sent to the corner to replace his headgear as the referee calls the doctor to ringside to look at Grabowski's bloody nose and again has to warn Grabowski's corner not to come onto the apron. Headgear replaced and Grabowski given the doctor's OK, the referee calls both fighters to the center and warns them that no more foolishness will be tolerated and someone will be disqualified if it continued. The fight resumes. Gaston hits Grabowski, Grabowski hits Gaston. Both fighters try to take the other out with one shot. All judges gave the edge in the round to Gaston due to the 8-count. Round 3 Grabowski comes across and throws several shots at Gaston's head. Gaston responds with a powerful shot to the face of Grabowski which again knocks his mouthpiece out. Time stopped, the mouthpiece is replaced and Grabowski is again warned for losing his mouthpiece. Gaston senses Grabowski is hurt and comes with the stronger shots but a tough yet bloody Grabowski fights back with a series of punches of his own. Gaston counters with a hook to the head and Grabowski again loses his mouthpiece forcing the referee to stop time and take a point away for spitting his mouthpiece out. Grabowski is very tired during the closing seconds of the round. He is sitting against the corner of the ring as both fighters exchange punches at the final bell. Referee Mike Storm steps between the fighters to stop them when Grabowski throws a punch around the referee and hits Gaston in the head. At that time, Referee Mike Storm pulled Grabowski out of the corner and disqualified him for unsportsmanlike conduct, hitting after the bell.

A better round for Vazquez but Dowling took the edge on two of the three judges' scorecards.
    Round 3: Vazquez came out with an early round kick to the head of Dowling. Dowling blocked most of it and began the campaign to assault the legs of Vazquez again. Vazquez does a jump round kick to Dowling's head that was again mostly blocked and seemed not to bother Dowling as Dowling continued to work on Vazquez' leg with powerful kicks throughout the round. Vazquez appeared to be the busier of the two but it appeared he was unable to match the power of Dowling.
    The judges scored the fight 29-28, 28-29 and 29-28. Winner by Split Decision, Sean Dowling.

  12. Men's Super Heavyweight MMA

They get close, clinch and decide to step back unwilling to take the fight to the ground so early. Adams throws a "Superman" punch and knocks Morrissey to his hands and knees. Adams moves down onto Morrissey's back but not able to do much. Morrissey shrugs him off and turns so both fighters are on their knees facing each other. After a period of inactivity, Referee Robert Hinds stands them and restarts them. They exchange kicks that don't connect and then they exchange punches that are ineffective. They clinch and lay on each other toward the end of the round and roll on the ropes as the bell rings to end the round. All judges gave the edge to Adams in the round.
    Round 2: They exchange jabs in the beginning right before Morrissey shoots for a takedown but Adams sprawls and blocks it. Morrissey reach out and pulls both legs in putting Adams down with Morrissey on top. Morrissey throws punches to the head and body of Adams as Adams attempts to block many of them. Adams turns over and gives Morrissey his back. Morrissey is unable to do anything with Adams on his knees in a "turtle" position as the round ends. The edge in the round went to Morrissey on all judges' cards.
    Round 3: Both fighters are very exhausted as they touch gloves to start the last round. Morrissey attempts a single leg takedown as Adams sprawls on top of him. Both tired fighters are admonished by Referee Robert Hinds to pick up the action. Morrissey shoots again but gets it blocked by Adams who throws punches to the body of Morrissey. At the final bell, both fighters are so tired, they stay on the mat for a few moments before going to their corners.
    All three judges scored the fight 29-28. Winner by Unanimous Decision, Arnold Adams.

Referee Robert Hinds stops time to let Dr. Bruce Hertz examine a cut on the side of Descourouez' head. The doctor said it was not a problem and the fight resumed. Descourouez came across the ring with a wild looping punch that Do ducked under and took Descourouez' back throwing a rear naked choke on him and forcing Referee Robert Hinds to stop the fight at 1:44 of the first round.
    Winner by TapOut, Nam Do

In addition to this outstanding fight card, we would like to recognize Mike Bleecha and Jimmy Bullock as well as Anthony Fearn and Cameron Law for putting on two fine Muay Thai Rules exhibitions. The two sets of fighters train together everyday in the gym. They trained for other opponents but when no one could be found to compete against them, they decided to get in the ring and give the fans a lesson on what to expect in a muay thai match-up.

PAST ISCF EVENT RESULTS...

RESULTS FROM
"Scorched Earth"
December 15th, 2007 - Lebanon, Missouri, USA

By ISCF REPRESENTATIVE CHUCK WOLFE: "Scorched Earth" is as ancient as the Persians, then Romans in battle! It's a war-term meaning punitive destruction of an enemy's resources, which is done for strategic rather than tactical reasons ~ destroying anything that's useful to the "enemy". Tonights warriors used this strategy decisively and swiftly - taking what their enemies offered in battle in the cage, destroying their tools and ultimately coming out victorious. The weapons utilized tonight included the brain, brawn and bravery! Don't miss the next exciting event - it could be the "Mother of all Events"!

AND THE WINNER IS...

"SECOND" Annual
2008
ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC!
AMATEUR MMA CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT

ONCE AGAIN, WE WILL BE AT THE...
US Cellular Center & Crowne Plaza Hotel
May 2nd, 3rd & 4th, 2008 - In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA

A lot of this may sound the same from last year, which makes it easy for us, and everyone else. It had come down to 3 locations of the over 50 Bid Proposals we received from around North America. One location in Missouri, one from Indiana and the Iowa location.

In the end, it was the combined efforts of the US Cellular Center ( The same Event Arena used for last years first ISCF MMA Tournament and he 2003 and 2006 IKF Annual Kickboxing Tournament), the Crowne Plaza Five Seasons Hotel and the Cedar Rapids Convention Visitors Bureau in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA.

The US Cellular Center is the same Arena that the UFC used when they came to Iowa back in the 90's before settling in Las Vegas.

At last years first ever ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC we only used 1 cage. It won't be until about two weeks prior to the event whether or not we will use 1 or two for 2008. On the idea board again for 2008 is whether or not we will have a "Non Striking" Grappling Tournament during the same weekend. This has yet to be determined.

The US Cellular Center is a beautiful 28,000 square foot "Stadium Seating Arena" which has held the title of the FINEST Venue we have ever had over all the years (9 straight years now) of the annual IKF Kickboxing Tournament. There is a total of 16,200 square feet on the actual arena floor space, and add in the Stadium Seating area and there is plenty of seating for spectators. Better yet, since nearly all the seating is elevated, there is not a bad seat in the house!

It is one of the most impressive entertainment venues in the Midwest. It also has 4 complete locker rooms (Showers, lockers etc.) for the participants and plenty of warm-up area surrounding the outside of the arena bowl under the elevated seating areas. As far as sporting events, in the past it has hosted as mentioned above, the UFC along with the Taekwondo Nationals and many Wrestling Championships and even WWF wrestling (Now WWE), not to mention many stars like the Harlem Globetrotters as well as concerts including KISS, Prince, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Amy Grant, Diana Ross, Pantera, Motley Crue, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Styx, AC/DC, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Diamond Rio, Martina McBride, Gaither Homecoming, Barry Manilow, Chicago, Bon Jovi, Blue Collar Comedy, Chicago, Beach Boys and Bob Dylan.

The 275 room Crowne Plaza Five Seasons Hotel is also Fantastic! The 16-story hotel is situated in the heart of downtown Cedar Rapids and is conveniently located just 10 minutes (eight miles) from Cedar Rapids Airport (Eastern Iowa Airport). The Hotel will provide Free Shuttle Service for all tournament Attendees (Fighters, trainers, officials and of course, fight families and fans!)

It is connected by hallway to the US Cellular Center and connected by 12-block skywalk system to numerous shopping and dining options and 2 theatres, the Theatre Cedar Rapids and the IMAX Theatre. All 275 rooms in the 16-story hotel feature cable TV and in-room movies, coffee maker, hair dryer, ironing board/iron and there are of course, non-smoking rooms available. There is also a business center, fitness center, indoor pool, and sauna. Top of the Five rooftop restaurant and Front Street Lounge, serving lighter fare, are both open 7 days a week. The room rate for a weekend at the Crowne Plaza Five Seasons Hotel is usually $140.00 per night, however our special ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC rate will only be $109.00 per night. The US Cellular Center is simply down an elevator and a hallway from everyone's hotel room.

HOST HOTEL
ALL Participants are required to stay in the Host Hotel.
This is a lesson we learned at a past IKF Tournament. The lessons learned happened at back to back IKF Tournaments before we made the decision to put in place the mandatory host hotel rule. At one of our past IKF Kickboxing Tournaments we had Fighters get injured in their bout and we needed to contact their parents who were not in the venue at the time of their bouts. At another past tournament we had some fighters we needed to locate due to bout changes but we could not find them in the event room or in the hotel because they were at another hotel sleeping. Due to these issues causing a lot of problems, we do not want to face such issues again. This is why this is a MANDATORY RULE now for competitors at not only the IKF Kickboxing Tournament, but it will also be a rule for the ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC. At Registration we will be asking each fighter and trainer for their room number and room confirmation code in case we need to contact them for bout or schedule changes or in case of any emergency. The ISCF will have a main Headquarters Suite for all event organizations duties. The hotel layout also allows us to block off a private floor for all the ISCF Event Officials to book their rooms on.

20K+ IN AWARDS
EVERY FIGHTER will walk away with some type of Award(s) or Gift(s) from the ISCF and other Sponsors!
The awards for this event alone will be a major expense. Awards will be broken down into two different divisions.


2008 - ISCF WELCOMES
WOMEN TO THE CLASSIC!

OK Ladies, you got your wish, so don't let us down!
The 2008 ISCF World Classic will welcome "6" Woman's Divisions.
They will all be OPEN Divisions. The weightclasses will be;

ISCF WOMEN'S FLYWEIGHT
125 lbs. & Below - 56.81 kg & Below

ISCF WOMEN'S BANTAMWEIGHT
125.1 to 135 lbs. - 56.82 - 61.36

ISCF WOMEN'S FEATHERWEIGHT
135.1 to 145 lbs. - 61.37 - 65.90

ISCF WOMEN'S LIGHTWEIGHT
145.1 to 155 lbs. - 65.91 - 70.45

ISCF WOMEN'S WELTERWEIGHT
155.1 to 170 lbs. - 70.45.1 - 77.27

ISCF WOMAN'S HEAVYWEIGHT
185.1 lbs. -84.10 & UP

ISCF's OBLIGATION TO THE SPORT...
Looking at the numbers above, once one does the math for 8 belts at $1,500.00 each ($12,000.00) plus the other 14 at $265.00 each ($3,710.00) and already we have over $15,000 in just Belt Awards. This does not include the Thousands of dollars in additional awards which will of course add more $$ to the mix. Overall we plan to give out between $20 and $25,000 in awards and gifts alone. This event is the ISCF's opportunity to "Give Back" to the Amateur side of our sport because as you can add up here, there will not be any profit for us in this event unless we sell a lot of spectator tickets, so "Bring your Fans!" Like with the yearly IKF Tournament, that started as a USA only, than grew to a North American and is now a WORLD Amateur Kickboxing Tournament, we feel it is our obligation and duty to create the Ultimate "Golden Glove" style tournaments for our fight sports! The expenses for this Tournament and the other Tournaments we host are necessary to create "Legit Amateur Champions" and a "First Class Event and Venue" for these Top Amateurs to fight in and at! We hope you agree.

OFFICIALS
As would be expected, an event of this size will be needing a lot of Officials (Judges, Timekeepers, Referees and assistants). Those of you who are either local to the event or already going, please let us know by e-mail if you can volunteer to be an official at this event. We have received a lot of request for officials however most of them are asking for us to pay their travel fees and we simply cannot afford this because of the cost of the venue, awards and the many other items that go into promoting such an event. There simply is no budget for 50+ Officials. For these very reasons, officials (or trainers who can assist as officials) who can pay their own travel fees will be selected first as the event officials as we have done every year for our IKF Tournament. Once we have you confirmed, we will list you on our ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC OFFICIALS PAGE. Each official will receive a free ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC Officials Shirt and the ISCF will pay for your lunch on both days of the Tournament just as the IKF does for Officials at our annual IKF Tournament. So, If you are able to volunteer to be an Official at 2008 ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC please let the us know by e-mail at: info@iscfmma.com

COACHES & TRAINERS EVENT PASSES
Like last years ISCF MMA World Classic and like every year with our IKF Kickboxing Tournament, there are a lot of people who try to sneak into these events claiming to be assistant trainers, officials, etc. etc. For this reason, as we do at our IKF Tournament now, we will charge for an Official ISCF MMA WORLD CLASSIC Cornerman/Trainers Badge.

This will prevent individuals just attaining a cornermans pass for free only to watch the event. The other reason for this is to police each fighters corner so that only Registered Cornermen and Trainers are in each fighters corner in "The Pit" and the warm-up area. Only registered cornermen/women will be allowed into each fighters corner and "The Pit."

When you mail in your registration form and fee, you MUST INCLUDE A HEADSHOT PHOTO OF YOURSELF in your mailing!
