Predictions: 1 of 1 Winners, 1 Perfect, 75 Points   |   Tied for 299th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set to kick off the first of four televised shows for the weekend. 

Thursday night, WSOF 18 hits Canada with the bantamweight title on the line. 

Main card begins on NBC Sports Network at 9pm ET following an hour of online prelims. The bout order is strange because we're getting three post-lims, a new trend (thanks Bellator) surrounding west coast broadcasts. 

Enjoy!

The two prelim fights for this start at 5:45 EST according to WSOF's website. Just a heads up, this probably needs to be locked then, and not in 3 hours lol.

Edit: it has two different times listed. If you click the card it says prelims at 5:45 EST, Main Card at 7 EST, Postlims at 9 EST

Just another indication of how bush league WSOF is.  They always screw up the times.  NBC Sports Network has the main card telecast schedule set for 9 PM ET.  Given that there are only 8 fights, a prelim start time of 7 PM ET or even later is probably a safe bet.

7:45 ET is when the prelims start streaming. Theres a link on Helwani's site for those wondering where to watch. Theres usually one up on the WSOF website too but it seems to run worse for me for some reason. Not that it matters. getting a clean and clear WSOF prelim stream is like getting seconds in a house full of fat people.

The thing about streaming is correct.  I've watched all 17 prior WSOF events.  Every single one has had major screwups in the prelims stream.  If you can't even manage a stable stream in 2015, and the quality of your cards keeps dropping, you pose no competition to Bellator, let alone the UFC.  I honestly doubt WSOF makes it to their 25th major event before going under.

Currently, the picks are set to lock at 730. I'm going to keep that as is, unless something changes.
