The IFL announced today "IFL Battleground" has begun airing Saturday nights on ITV, a television network in the UK.

"The United Kingdom is a growing market for the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, and we think that our programming, which is different from the cage fighting that has been the norm, will have a much greater mainstream appeal," said IFL CEO Jay Larkin in a statement. "We are very pleased to be able to join the ITV lineup."

This move should boost the hometown support for Ian Freeman's team of British fighters that will join the league next season.

"IFL Battleground" also airs in the European market on TV4 in Sweden.

Good news for sure. I really like the IFL and the way the put on their shows. Plus they us a ring instead of a cage which i much prefer.

It's nice to see a good organizaton expanding. If the IFL was on TV as often as TUF is in the USA im sure that the IFL would get very big very fast.
