[K-Mart85]

I already have my DVR box set for this and the TUF premier after. Condit is a beast but Kampmann is no joke, it should be a good fight. And I have learned thanks to my UFC fantasy picks I have to pick fighters that will win rather than ones I like so I did pick Junie even though hes a D-bag. But On sunday I think theres a WEC event on VS's. Miguel Torres is going to win again guaranteed.

 

[animalmother]

There is a WEC event on Sunday also. I will post a thread on it tomorrow. The first week of April is sweet for MMA fans--two free fights in one week.

 

[animalmother]

Just hours away now. Hope all MMA fans on the forum get to see it.

Went 8-2 on my picks.

So who all caught it?

An interesting little story from sherdog on the fight bonus money:

"UFC Issues $120K in Bonuses

Tyson Griffin and Rafael dos Anjos were awarded matching $30,000 "Fight of the Night" bonuses, according to UFC officials, after they engaged in a spirited confrontation at UFC Fight Night 18. Griffin won a unanimous decision -- 30-27 on all scorecards -- in a fight many felt was much closer than the judges' scores indicated.

Rob Kimmons banked a $30,000 "Submission of the Night" bonus after he left Joe Vedepo unconscious with a first-round guillotine choke, and Aaron Simpson pocketed the $30,000 "Knockout of the Night" bonus after he stopped fellow World Extreme Cagefighting veteran Tim McKenzie on strikes less than two minutes into their middleweight bout.

The event drew a crowd of 10,267 for a $626,0777 gate, UFC officials announced during a post-fight press conference … Jorge Rivera, his career revived by his appearance on "The Ultimate Fighter 4" in 2006, visited the winner's circle for the first time in more than a year when he edged UFC newcomer Nissen Osterneck by split decision."

I missed it.

AM, what ever happened with GSP and BJ filing a complaint ref their fight?

 

[animalmother]

The complaint BJ filed with the state athletic commission is still pending. There is a remote possibility that the commission could declare the fight a NC. Both Matt Hughes and Jason "Mayhem" Miller said that GSP was greased up when they fought him.
