Carlos Newton's IFL Dragons

scorcho · 06-03-2006, 09:46 AM

Is anyone else really excited that Carlos Newton will be leading his own team in the IFL?

I am really looking forward to it. Given the coach v coach matches that have been booked so far, I am also hoping that we will get to see Carlos back in the ring after a rather long haitus. I really want to see another Newton v. Gracie (their first fight in Pride was great) as well as Newton v. Miletich.

I'm not sure who all is on his team yet so i'm not so excited about it yet but I do want to see Carlos back in the cage/ring

Bump for Carlos. Bump for Canada. Bump for the Dragons.

I can't wait for the follow-up news with the team listings and the logos etc.

... I guess he won't be coming back to the UFC

Yea, that is kind of a bummer, but I just want to see him in the ring again.

Yep, on the front page, watch the video. Lindland gets the Wolfpack. The other two teams lead by Coleman and Inoki haven't been named yet.

Like most of the posters here, to me Newton's return to the ring, even though it isn't UFC or PRIDE is still a return to competition. I am very interested to see who he chooses and also how he coaches. Hopefully he'll have great success in the IFL. So far I am enjoying their show on FSN and maybe this will show how fighters develop their skills far better then TUF can.
