UFC Fight Night 18 Kampmann Steals A Close One

Martin Kampmann showed a new weapon in his arsenal as he used his wrestling to win round 3 and a Split Decision over Carlos Condit. The "Hitman" surprised the "NBK" with a guillotine that almost tapped the debuting Condit but he struggled free and Carlos cut him deeply under the left eye. Condit never stopped attacking when he could, but was just shut down as Kampmann narrowly out pointed him to victory saying, "“That was a war, he’s a true warrior.”

Tyson Griffin survived a scare when he had his leg contorted backwards causing seemingly little damage but looked painful as hell as he again fought to a decision win over Raphael Dos Anjos. Tyson was content to slug things out after almost being submitted in the 1st, and though he struggled to find the range he landed enough good power shots to leave do doubt who was the winner. 7 out of 8 fights going to decision there Tyson. Just throwing it out there.

Oh sweet Junie Brown showed his lack of heart and courage yet again as a motivated Cole Miller shut up and shut down the big talking hick. Cole showed no respect for Junie's "power" striking as Brown stood still as if in concrete, and allowed Miller to pick him apart and wrap him up in a tight guillotine for the win and a little shit talk on his way to getting his hand raised.

Ryan Bader bored the crap out of everyone looking like a Matt Hamill clone only with better hearing, and laid and prayed his way to lopsided decision win over Carmelo Marrero.
Aaron Simpson got the lone TKO of the night over Tim McKenzie. It took 1 round for Rob Kimmons to tap out Joe Vedepo with a guillotine while veteran Jorge Rivera survived a close Split Decision win over Nissen Osterneck. Tim Credeur continues his UFC winning streak buy submission over Nick Catone and Ricardo Almeida out gamed "Bible Thumper" who has lost his 1st 2 UFC fights. Brock Larson is a Welterweight to watch as he worked Jesse Sanders capturing a dominant RNC. Gleison Tibau and Jeremy Stephens couldn't make weight for their fight but the decision was not close as Tibau dominated.

Interesting little card but a bit disappointing for the most part setting up what could be a really entertaining season of the Ultimate Fighter as the Brits take on the Americans starring Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping vying for a title shot at Anderson Silva! 8-3 on the picks fellas.
