2007 IFL Individual Weight class Standings
In order to appease the critics of the unique MMA team concept of the International Fight League, after the 2007 season is finished there will be indivudal Grand Prixs (GPs) to determine the best fighter of the IFL in each weight class. Like the team ranking system, the four fighters with the most wins will participate in a mini tournament to crown the champion of each weight class. Tiebreakers will be determined by a point system with KO/TKO/submission wins being awarded 10 points, unanimous decisions 7 points, majority decisions 5 points and 3 points for split decisions. If a tiebreaker is still needed, it will be determined by the fighter with the quickest victories.
^= This fighter has clinched a spot in the individual GP
**= In memory of Jeremy Williams who passed away during the 2007 year.
?= In purely a marketing move the IFL decided to pass Savant Young and award Bart Palaszewski the fourth spot in the GP in order to have the highly anticipated Palaszewski/ Horodecki rematch.
