IFL Athletes, Coaches Bring MMA to Va. Airshow
The annual NAS Oceana Airshow in Virginia Beach, Va., will have its customary Tomcats, F-15’s and Blue Angels. But this year, it also features Tiger Sharks, Razorclaws and even a Ring Girl.
On Friday and Saturday, Sept. 7-8, while Navy pilots are performing in the air, IFL coaches and athletes will be performing demonstrations, signing autographs and meeting upwards of 30,000 civilians and military personnel on the ground.
Coaches Maurice Smith of the Tiger Sharks and Pat Miletich of the Silverbacks, IFL athletes Dan Christison of the Razorclaws and Gideon Ray of the Dragons and IFL Ring Girl Emily will be on hand for the event.
The appearance at the NAS Oceana Airshow is another example of the IFL’s strong ties to the U.S. Military, following notable events such as Fleet Week New York, a Middle East coaches’ tour and visits to numerous bases.
The league is preparing for the 2007 IFL World Championship finals at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Fla., Sept. 20.
