Ohhhhhhhhhhh.....
I believe the International Fighters Association is German based and they are trying to become a international accepted global MMA regulations commitee (Even though the UFC is trying to do this as well. ). Like FIFA.
I think if Texas had fully sanctioned MMA (which they only sorta do, its confusing) they wouldn't have used them. I think they try to fill gap in areas that don't fully back MMA.
I remember hearing about them a couple years ago and I think this is the biggest card they have ever been involved with in the US. I don't even think the UK based Cage Rage uses them.
As far as I am concered if they don't drug test than the IFA is simply a puppet le to make an event look more polished for the media. We shall see but don't hold your breath.
LEONARD correct me if I am wrong there...
