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:
“What is wanted—whether this is admitted or not—is nothing less than a fundamental remolding, indeed weakening and abolition of the individual: one never tires of enumerating and indicting all that is evil and inimical, prodigal, costly, extravagant in the form individual existence has assumed hitherto, one hopes to manage more cheaply, more safely, more equitably, more uniformly if there exist only large bodies and their members.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“as his weight wilts
and he is on a porch
that won’t hold my arms,
or the legs of the race run
forwards, or the film
played backwards on his grandson’s eyes.”
—Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
“... in the fierce competition of modern society the only class left in the country possessing leisure is that of women supported in easy circumstances by husband or father, and it is to this class we must look for the maintenance of cultivated and refined tastes, for that value and pursuit of knowledge and of art for their own sakes which can alone save society from degenerating into a huge machine for making money, and gratifying the love of sensual luxury.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
