With the IFL on the outs where do you all think these fighter will end up? I hope the UFC picks up some of them. Ben Rothwell would be a great add to the HW division. Chris Horodecki is a killer at 155. Ryan Shulttz also at 155 is a great fighter.

horedecki and schultz would get wrecked in the ufc.. nelson would be mediocre. I think you'll see them filter out into elite xc and the other orgs but probably not the ufc

I didn't know the IFL was on the outs? I thought they were just getting rid of the team aspect.

Yeah same here. They have only had one event which was sold out, and they have a television contract with HDNET for a few events, so I don't know where this sentiment is coming from either.

I watch quite a bit of IFL (because if its free and on basic cable, i will watch it) and heres my list of guys that the UFC should pick up from the IFL.
HW: Ben Rothwell Roy Nelson Reese Andy
LHW: Mike Whitehead Vladmir Matyushenko (I realize hes been in the UFC but hes much more dangerous at LHW) Andre Gusmao
MW: Ryan Mcgivern Matt Horwich
WW: Jay Hieron Mark Miller Antonio Mckee
LW: Ryan Schultz Deividas Taurosevicius Chris Horodecki
Also a special nomination to Wagnney Fabiano who is a top 5 FW in the world but cant really go to the UFC. I would love to see him and Faber fight in the WEC.

I think
Nelson Heleno Schultz and Radach (if he can get his neck problem fixed)
would be decent additions to the UFC
I think Fabiano Horodecki Heiron and Horwich
would be solid additions to the WEC
and isnt Rothwell already a FA

Is Ben Rothwell the real deal? I would like to find out. He is the most important guy the IFL had. I do think this league will be around for one more year.
