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!

@Yossi - A lot of recent postlims have been planned as such so it's not a time-crunch.  I'm not sure what site traffic indicates as far as viewers on prelims vs. postlims or how much of an impact it has on the site's ad revenue but unless they're making more money through online advertising because of people having to come back twice, then the only thing it's helping is to stagger the times of those leaving the arena and intentionally annoy fans watching from home.  If that's the goal, I think they're actually doing a great job with the postlims.

Andrew McInnes suffering from Papilledema (pressure of the orbital nerve) + concussion after illegal head-butt from McKenzie.



Maybe it was just my stream but did he really jack him that hard? I was surprised he couldn't continue, it must just not have looked as bad to me as it was.

It wasn't hard, but it was downward and his head had no place to go, so IDK, maybe.

It didn't look too serious, and McInnes may have been acting it up, but when a fighter throws a blatant headbutt and then admits it was intentional, he's begging for the DQ.

To me it looked lik McInnes was just trying to draw a DQ. Cody was kind of unloading on him just before the Headbutt though so who knows. I'm not going to really bother to rewatch it because it's not that important.
