Mark Kerr vs. Mike Whitehead in the IFL!
Fri, 2006-09-29 17:01 — Bevois
INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE (IFL) ADDS DANIEL GRACIE vs. ALLAN GOES AND
MARK KERR vs. MIKE WHITEHEAD SUPERFIGHTS TO WORLD TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP SEMIFINALS IN NOVEMBER
Legendary Matchups will round out semifinals at site to be announced
shortly
NEW YORK, September 26, 2006-- The International Fight League (IFL)
today announced the addition of two Superfights for the November World
Team Championship semifinals. The matchups will have Daniel Gracie facing
Allan Goes in one fight and Mark Kerr taking on Mike Whitehead in the
other. Those two fights will follow the team semifinal matchups,
featuring Bas Rutten's Anacondas vs. Matt Lindland's Wolfpack in one matchup,
and Pat Miletich's Silverbacks vs. Carlos Newton's Dragons in the
other.
The location, date and time of the IFL World Team Championship
semifinal will be announced shortly.
"We are very pleased to be able to pair these MMA veterans as a
highlight to what will be a very special semifinal evening," IFL Co-founder
and Commissioner Kurt Otto said. "These four great athletes represent
many of the disciplines that make up mixed martial arts, and seeing them
together on the same card will be a treat for all in attendance."
Kerr is an MMA legend who will be making his first appearance in the
ring since 2004. The former NCAA wrestling champion and NCAA
All-American (at Syracuse University) and UFC and PRIDE heavyweight champion has
been training recently with Rutten in Los Angeles as part of his
comeback. His opponent, MMA veteran Whitehead, was also a three time
all-America wrestler at North Idaho Junior College, Southern Oregon University,
and the University of Missouri has posted an 8-1 record in his last
nine MMA bouts. Brazilians Gracie and Goes have both made successful IFL
debuts on the team level, with Gracie defeating Wes Sims in an IFL
Superfight in June and Goes defeating Devin Cole in September as part of the
Tiger Sharks.

I go with Kerr! He will pop whitehead like a ZIT!!!
I liked Kerr's fighting when his game was on. After watching the show the smashing machine, I understand why sometimes Kerr fought great and other times he did not. I hope Kerr is on top of his game, then he can be a top contender in MMA Fighting. :cool:
