So Fight Night 18 is tomorrow and I for one can't wait, which is odd for a fight night card. I just wanna see Carlos Condit back in action. He is a great talent and I think he will rise towards the top of the WW division. Has a very tough first fight against Martin Kampmann, but one I think he can and will win. Just wondering what some of your thoughts were on the fight and the card in general.
It's a strong card. It's would be as strong as the UFC 95 card if there was a main event, I hope junie Browning gets KTFO.
Kampman is really underatted he did very well vs solid guys at 185 he should be even better now that he isnt the smaller man.
Really looking forward to the main event. Here are the weigh in results: MAIN CARD Carlos Condit (170.5) vs. Martin Kampmann (170) Ryan Bader (206) vs. Carmelo Marrero (205) Rafael dos Anjos (156) vs. Tyson Griffin (156) Junie Browning (156) vs. Cole Miller (156) PRELIMINARY CARD Ryan Jensen (186) vs. Steve Steinbeiss (186) Jeremy Stephens (158 ) vs. Gleison Tibau (156.5) - both come in over limit, agreed to fight at catchweight Ricardo Almeida (185.5) vs. Matt Horwich (185) Brock Larson (171) vs. Jesse Sanders (171) Nick Catone (186) vs. Tim Credeur (186) Nissen Osterneck (186) vs. Jorge Rivera (185) Rob Kimmons (185) vs. Joe Vedepo (185) Tim McKenzie (184.5) vs. Aaron Simpson (186)
This should be a doozy. The main event should be a good one, and I look forward to Junie Browning getting his ass kicked.
Im looking forward to the main event. I have seen condit fight couple of times but im curious on how he can do against top ufc fighters. Kampmann got a pretty good striking and he has power so i wonder how condit will take it when he gets hit. I cant wait to see this fight 2morow:good
When has he ever shown his power? Whenever he fights and good power shots land it's the other guy hitting him. He's accurate and all, but his power sucks. All the fights he's finished have been on the ground. He was getting KILLED on his feet by McFedries before he took him down and subbed him. He hit Leitas with about a million clean punches when Leitas was exhausted and couldn't put him down. I like to watch Kampman, but for christsake just because he has some sort of kickboxing background does not mean he has power. We'll see if he looks better at 170, but Condit is not joke. Should be a good fight.
He should have better power at 170. Because at 185, his power is very average at best. Not enough to be respected by the big 185lbs.
man i thought condit did enough to win by decision. It was a close fight but i thought he won. i was looking forward to see condit vs other top contenders at 170 lbs. I hope he gets to fight one of the top dawgs next time.
Awesome fight thought it was a good decision Kampman clearly won the 3rd and damn near finished it in the 1st.
I was a little disappointed in Condit in the 3rd. He was way too passive in his guard. He seemed to be half heartedly trying for subs then letting Kampmann gnp him as it obviously didn't hurt him at all. He only really sprung into action in the last 30 seconds of the round, getting to his feet and securing a guillotine. But I thought he should have done that earlier. It was clear that Condit had the better of him standing. Very frustrating for me.
Tyson didn't look to great. Bader on the other hand looked amazing. Condit and Kampan both did a good job and worked hard. I did have kampan winning slightly but never the less Condit did well.
The tyson fight was pretty good. He rocked his opponent couple of times during the fight. overall it was pretty exciting fight. The bader fight was boring but bader showed he was a better wrestler. taking marrero down whenever he wanted too was pretty impressive. The main event was pretty good but i was expecting more from condit. I thought he would win the fight but he still showed he has a lot of talent. Im looking forward to see him fight again hopefully against a top contender at 170 lbs.
Bader-Marrero was boring but manily because Marrero made it that way in the 2nd and 3rd round most of the time the fight was in guard Marrero was stalling by underhooking and ****** gripping his hands around Bader, basically he was just trying to survive.
BTW I wouldnt be suprised to see Condit and Kampman agian one day for a Championship. Both are extremly well rounded and are very young and training with good camps.
