This fight card is looking really good!
Condit, Larson and T Griffin! Almeida and Rivera also!
I'm looking forward to this 1!
I'd assume all you Guys over in the US will be liking the card as its a freebie on SPIKE??

Re: UFN 18
I have no problem with it. Condit-Kampmann should be a very entertaining main event, Tyson Griffin is one of my person favorite LW's, Efrain-Stephens should be good. And as much as everyone around here bashes TUF, I'm interested to see how Junie and Bader do

Re: UFN 18
I'm kind of interested, too. It's kinda hard to bash on TUF anymore when it's produced a few champions, a few that fought for a championship, and a few in title contention right now. Personally, I think both Bader and Browning win in good fashion. Bader will be a handful when he hones his skills. And, as much of a douche Browning is, he's not the same fighter he was on TUF. Both by TKO.

Re: UFN 18
I like alot of the fighters from AZ Combat Sports, Riddle, Condit, Bader, Dollaway and Varner. So i would definately like to see Condit and Bader get a win.

Re: UFN 18
I think M. Kampmann is gonna take it with a nice TKO late first, early second. E. Escudero loss to unanimous decision, R. Bader win to unanimous decision, and J. Browning will be totally dominated for sure by C. Miller.

Re: UFN 18
Good Card, but dissapointed that Tyson is on the prelim's and Junie's on the main card.
Kammpaman via TKO RD 2

I'm hoping that it'll change nearer the time and Tyson will be on main card!
But it seems TUF fighters have a little more chance being on a main card tho!

Re: UFN 18
I think its always going to be the case on a free Spike card, given that TUF went out free on TUF first time round. Show all the casuals a photo of Junie and one of Tyson and they'll all be able to tell you who Junie is, sadly.

Spot on! My guess it'll still be the same on a PPV card too!
Even more annoying is that Fight Nights dont come out on DVD!

Re: UFN 18
I'm very interested to see how Bader does against a non TUF guy. His last figh the was in he dominated and showed really good stand up to go along with his wresteling. Kinda looking like a Matt Hamill

Junie is on the main card because the UFN is on Spike TV... Spike likes to have former TUF cast members on the televised portion of the cards they air... The execs at Spike probably have no idea who Tyson Griffin is...

Re: UFN 18
I got my tickets but, this isn't that great of a card.This is going to be my first UFC show ive been to.I just wish they put some bigger names on the card.Hell the venue is huge for a fight nite.They aint putting up a card like the 1 they did in Denver last April.I doubt they come close to selling out.

Re: UFN 18
After what Jorge had to go through I am pulling for him. Very excited to do Condit, that is monumental task, Kampman, wow, that guy is amazing. Condit is so crafty, I will take him. And go Felipe. True.

*Official* UFN 18 Discussion Thread
UFC Fight Night 18 is the first-ever UFC event to take place in Tennessee, which recently launched the regulation of professional MMA with this past weekend's Xtreme Fighting Championships event in Knoxville. The event takes place April 1 at the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tenn.
MAIN CARD
Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann
Efrain Escudero vs. Jeremy Stephens
Ryan Bader vs. Carmelo Marrero
Junie Browning vs. Cole Miller
PRELIMINARY CARD
Rafael dos Anjos vs. Tyson Griffin
Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Horwich
Brock Larson vs. Jesse Sanders
Nissen Osterneck vs. Jorge Rivera
Rob Kimmons vs. Joe Vedepo
Tim McKenzie vs. Aaron Simpson
Ryan Jensen vs. Steve Steinbeiss
This is a great
FREE
card. It's Ryan Baders debut since winning the contract on the last season of TUF. It's also Carlos Condit and Brock Larson's debut fights with the UFC since being cut from the WEC because of the collapse of the heavier weight divisions. We also get to see the infamous Junie fight someone who has some skill. Many have been upset by Griffins placement on the Prelim card, despite his recent loss to Sherk. Griffin is a much more skilled and experienced fighter, and undoubtedly deserves to be on the main card. Although I still believe we'll see him, because the main card only has 4 fights, and if we get an early stoppage I'm sure he'll get on TV. Discuss and share your thoughts!

Re: *Official* UFN 18 Discussion Thread
I'm not sure what i think of the Sanders/Larson fight... if they have to WW that have 20+ and lot's of finishes combined, why not face them against other competition... I would hate to see Larson lose like the Condit fight... hopefully that won't happen.
Hopefully Larson will put together a few wins an jump into a contended status and may get a fight with Kos down the road.
