NEW YORK -- The International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI), the world�s first team-based professional mixed martial arts league, has made tremendous strides in growing its television reach in less than a month. �IFL Battleground� on MyNetworkTV and the IFL�s weekly team competition on Fox Sports Net (FSN) have seen weekly growth since launching in the last month. �IFL Battleground� is seen on Monday nights on MyNetworkTV from 8-10 p.m. EDT/PDT, 7-9 p.m. CDT.

�The proof of growth is in the numbers,� said IFL CEO and co-founder Gareb Shamus. �The sport of Mixed Martial Arts, and the International Fight League model, is resonating more and more each week with both the male and female audiences through our efforts with our broadcast partners. As we reach our one-year anniversary, all the numbers point to a very bright future ahead for the IFL, both in and out of the ring.�
