Radach, who was favored to win the IFL's middleweight grand prix tournament before losing to Matt Horwich, re-injured his neck during training shortly after the fight with Horwich, but feels he is now ready to step into the ring again.

“It’s doing good. I don’t really feel any problems with it,” said Radach about his neck injury. “I’m going live. I’m definitely going to get another MRI and stuff done. Back then, the doctors said I just needed to take it easy and I pretty much took it easy for about five months. It should be healed up.”

Radach has learned his lesson about taking too many fights in too short a time, a factor he attributes to his loss against Horwich.

“My main goal is to not get too many fights going. That’s kind of one of the things I blame for the loss with (Matt) Horwich,” he stated. “I just wasn’t hungry. I was kind of burnt out, and I fought so much that year, and trained so hard, twice a day, and just kind of ran myself ragged. I just didn’t have the fire when I went into that fight.”

Radach is currently keeping his options open.

“I’m a free agent and I have a couple options so maybe, possibly the Affliction show, and then also possibly EliteXC.”
