The following is an excerpt from an article on http://www.TheFightNetwork.com:

Musical chairs anyone? The International Fight League has once again reshuffled its World Grand Prix deck, according to Shawn Tompkins, longtime mentor to lightweight phenom Chris Horodecki.

Tompkins revealed this weekend that the IFL had withdrawn Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Wagnney Fabiano from the 155-pound final against the undefeated Horodecki on Saturday, Dec. 29 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. and replaced him with Shad Lierley.

Representatives from the IFL would neither confirm nor deny the change.

"We'll be making announcements regarding our World Grand Prix card soon," said Jerry Milani, public relations manager for the IFL.

Because the IFL are now utilizing a 145 pound division, so Fabiano is dropping and fighting someone else for the featherweight title.

I expect the heavyweight division to disappear soon with the lack of fighters.
