2007 IFL Individual Weight Class Standings
In order to appease the critics of the unique MMA team concept of the International Fight League, after the 2007 season is finished there will be individual Grand Prixs (GPs) to determine the best fighter of the IFL in each weight class. Like the team ranking system, the four fighters with the most wins will participate in a mini tournament to crown the champion of each weight class. Tiebreakers will be determined by a point system with KO/TKO/submission wins being awarded 10 points, unanimous decisions 7 points, majority decisions 5 points and 3 points for split decisions. If a tiebreaker is still needed, it will be determined by the fighter with the quickest victories.
^= This fighter has clinched a spot in the individual GP
**= In memory of Jeremy Williams who died during the 2007 year.
?= In purely a marketing move the IFL decided to pass Savant Young and award Bart Palaszewski the fourth spot in the GP in order to have the highly anticipated Palaszewski/ Horodecki rematch.

Famous quotes containing the words individual, weight and/or class:
“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
“The hurt is not enough:
I long for weight and strength
To feel the earth as rough
To all my length.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Class is rarely talked about in the United States; nowhere is there a more intense silence about the reality of class differences than in educational settings.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
