Quadros is in the Herd

Early Thursday morning while I was stuck in the usual Las Vegas gridlock traffic, I was listening to the Colin Cowherd show on ESPN Radio. It’s a show I listen to every single morning as its entertaining, informative, witty, etc. At the end of his daily “Spanning the Globe” segment, Colin brought on one Stephen Quadros, a former boss and long-time friend of mine, to discuss this weekend’s huge MMA events.

The comical aspect of the few minutes “The Fight Professor” was on was the fact that Cowherd seemed to only want to discuss the UFC as it’s more popular. Well, Quadros kept pumping up this weekend’s IFL show in Houston. Obviously since Quadros is a commentator for the IFL, why would he try and promote and discuss a rival organization? So Quadros continued to promote the IFL card.

Either way, I chuckled heartily as Cowherd kept trying to talk about UFC 67 but since Quadros wouldn’t stop about the IFL, “Spanning” … ran out of time without more than two sentences about UFC 67. It was simple, funny and priceless.

What Palaszewski vs. Horodecki Means

By Stephen Quadros

Everyone knew this fight would eventually happen.

The IFL has been putting on shows for just under a year and we already have our first bona fide in-season super showdown, a battle of two of the best lightweights in the IFL - Chris Horodecki (pronounce Horo-desk-ee) from Bas Rutten’s Anacondas against Bart Palaszewski (pronounced Powa-shev-skee) with the best IFL team thus far, the Silverbacks, led by Pat Miletich.

The match will be part of the second IFL event of the 2007 season, which will be held at the Reliant Center in Houston, Texas on Friday, February 2nd.

The similarities at the outset are obvious: both men are from Polish heritage, (although Chris is Canadian and Bart is American), both are young (Horodecki 19, Palaszewski 23), both have yet to lose an IFL match, and both have reps as knockout artists.
