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:
“The difference between style and taste is never easy to define, but style tends to be centered on the social, and taste upon the individual. Style then works along axes of similarity to identify group membership, to relate to the social order; taste works within style to differentiate and construct the individual. Style speaks about social factors such as class, age, and other more flexible, less definable social formations; taste talks of the individual inflection of the social.”
—John Fiske (b. 1939)
“The weight of its body
cleverly suspended
by its own wings,
the bee
sips at the bud
of the night-blooming jasmine,
opening it,
greedy for its juice.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“There is a struggle between the Oriental and the Occidental in every nation; some who would be forever contemplating the sun, and some who are hastening toward the sunset. The former class says to the latter, When you have reached the sunset, you will be no nearer to the sun. To which the latter replies, But we so prolong the day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
