New FIGHT! Magazine Features Zeidler Article

The December/January issue of FIGHT! Magazine, one of the most popular MMA mags on the market, features an article by IWF's very own Ben Zeidler. In the article, Zeidler pits MMA Legends against current superstars in the sport (see cover, upper right side). Trainers Greg Jackson, Robert Fallis, and Pat Miletich weigh in on the match ups chosen by Zeidler, sometimes resulting in a consensus...and sometimes not. Read below for the article's introduction. Unfortunately, you'll have to buy the magazine (just $4.99 at any Barnes and Noble or Borders) to see which fights I picked and what the experts have to say.

Anderson Silva has taken on some of the most talented fighters of his time, even knocking out one of the longest-reigning champions on his way to the belt. Unfortunately, the debate over whether or not Silva is the greatest Middleweight of all-time is untouchable because, after all, he can’t fight the champions of decades past. Or can he?

In this segment, FIGHT! Magazine approached three of the most renowned trainers in the sport, Greg Jackson of Greg Jackson’s Submission Fighting, Robert Fallis of Team Quest, and Pat Miletich of MFS. Each has worked with numerous champions throughout the years, they’ve seen more fighters come and go than we can count, and they certainly aren’t shy about their opinions.

We asked each trainer how the fight would go if the legend were in his prime and the current superstar was in his current state. They were asked to pick a winner and shed some insight as to why the fight would progress as their expert opinions saw it.

Buy the magazine to read the rest!
