Funny story but my username when I created it was for my favorite Wiz Dominic Mcguire, lol. Haha thank God for Mcnabb or I would have to change my username.

UFC Fight Night 18: For a free event on Spike the card is pretty impressive and it does highlight a lot of those TUF guys. Condit vs. Kampmann is a nice main card fight. I'd predict Condit to win via submission. Ryan Bader vs. Carmelo Marrero is a pretty tough first fight for Bader, although it definitely is bottom of the talent pool for UFC lhw's. Bader is definitely an impressive wrestler with heavy fists. Carmelo is a very favorable matchup, although this fight with the two wrestlers could turn out to be a very boring laying and hugging match. I do think though Bader has some nice GnP. Not excited to see Junie Browning on the Main card and on my television again. Dana obviously put him on the main card for viewers. Honestly I hate the prick but I'm not going to deny that he looked pretty good on TUF finale although Dave Kaplan was trash. It's a pretty tough matchup for him, as Miller has beaten Leonard Garcia before. Also excited to see Tyson Griffin on the Main card now after Effrain dropped out. Would have been nice to see Effrain as he is a very dominant wrestler who has some standup skills and submissions. I still think Phllipe Nover will be a good fighter in the UFC and he has a nice fight to prove himself UFC 98 against Kyle Bradley who's a pretty good fighter. Nover just needs to work on some wrestling and some more punch combo's and uppercuts. Not the same overhead swing he uses over and over again. WEC definitely suffers when coverboy Urijah is not fighting or Leonard or Mike Brown. Torres should win his match. None of the other fights really appeals to me. Can't wait until Dream 8 and can't wait to see the official participant list announced. Strikeforce on Showtime: Definitely will be interesting. Not sure what to make out of the Frank Shamrock vs. Nick Diaz fight, but I'll definitely be watching. Frank is still one tough SOB. I want to see Scott "Hands of Steel" Smith fight. Also interesting to see two Elite XC fighters step in the ring, Cyborg and Brett Rogers, obviously not against each other lol. Still really want to see Cyborg against Gina Carano. Cyborg is one scary looking tranny. Brett Rogers the HW king of Elite XC is a guy I want to watch. Never really bought into his hype. He's big, fat, and punches hard, not sure if he has much more than that. UFC 97: I'll be honest I'm not as excited about Chuck vs. Shogun as most are. Honestly I'm not convinced that Chuck will be able to hang anymore. To me Chuck has just become a sloppy one dimensional fighter. Anderson Silva vs. Leites should be a bore unless Silva comes out again Sleepwalking like against Patrick Cote. Still a one dimensional BJJ fighter shouldn't stand a chance against the Spider. Chieck Kongo vs. Hardonk will probably be the fight of the night. There will definitely be some fireworks with those two kickboxers in the ring. I predict though Kongo with the KO switch kick in the 2nd or 3rd round. Luis Cane I think will dominate Cantwell although he's a gritty fighter. Krzystof Soszynski vs. Brian Stann is an awfuly interesting Main card bout they have scheduled. Stann was a pretty impressive WEC fighter. Krzystof never imrpessed me that much on the show as he was very limited on the ground and his standup was overrated and very slow, still I saw him fight a while back in the IFL as a heavyweigth against Ben Rothwell, and if can regain that form he could be a tough beat. I'd personally rather see Vinny vs. Elliot Marshall on the Main card instead. That should be an interesting fight. Elliot I think has a major advantage in standup as he is naturally longer and leaner and has beter kicks, that and Vinny is completely inept and afraid in standup. On the ground there is no doubt Vinny is one of the top BJJ guys in the entire MMA right now, the problem is he has no idea how to get guys down. Elliot Marshall is a pretty impressive competitive black belt BJJ artist, so I'd favor him over Vinny. Nate Quarry vs Jason McDonald is another nice undercard fight. This card is pretty stacked in general. BTW not a big fan of this England vs. USA TUF 9 thing. Trying to copy the contender or something. Bisping vs Dan Henderson though will be a good fight.
