Master Shahin "Shawn" ShilatiPresident/Promoter/Founder of the IFS Why did I create the IFS? the most exciting form of stand up fighting is Muay Thai, the most exciting form of ground fighting is Mixed Martial Arts. The International Fight Showdown (IFS) combines these two into a hybrid show of hard hitting action for all fans. Coupled with the concept of an elimination contest, the IFS brings out the best of the best. No show has ever combined these elements, making the IFS the most popular fight today. |

Upon looking for a training gym in 1999, I met Master Shawn Shilati, the Promoter and Director of the IFS. Since then, I have been working closely with Master Shawn while assisting and promoting his gym and events. Thank you to the organizations, gyms, IFS fighters, fans and sponsors. Because of your support the International Fight Showdown is a great success. |
