The International Fight League has reached an agreement with the Fox Sports Network and MyNetworkTV. According to the IFL, "FSN has multi-year rights to televise 22 one-hour late night event programs, produced by the IFL, beginning in the second quarter of 2007."
Unlike other MMA organizations, the IFL operates with a team concept. A team consists of a coach with a fighter in each of the five weight classes. The team that wins the best three of five matches wins the event.
"The full [schedule] for FSN will be announced next week," IFL Vice President Joe Favorito said via an email interview. "Right now there is a plan to do tape with the possibility of live fights and a potential pay per view later in the year."
The 11-date season begins Friday, Jan. 19 in Oakland, Calif.
