Ricardo Almeida's desire to compete on the UFC 101 card in Philadelphia was so much so that he postponed immediate plans for a welterweight run.

"To be honest I would have fought at 205 to fight in Philly," Almeida said. "I really wanted the people who support me on a daily basis to have the chance to watch me fight live and be a part of it."

Martin Kampmann defeated Carlos Condit Wednesday night at UFC Fight Night 18, and that means it's time to revise our rankings of the Top 10 welterweights in mixed martial arts.

It's not a big adjustment: Georges St Pierre, of course, remains in the top spot, and the rankings will look almost identical to the last time I did them. But I had Condit at No. 8 and Kampmann outside the Top 10 before, so I figure I need to add Kampmann in and take Condit out. The new rankings are below.

In a battle of young welterweights that lived up to expectations, Martin Kampmann beat Carlos Condit by split decision Wednesday at UFC Fight Night 18 in Nashville.

The first round was a good ground battle in which Condit, the former World Extreme Cagefighting welterweight champion, opened an ugly cut under Kampmann's left eye by landing a hard punch followed by a knee just as Kampmann got up off the canvas.

Making his first appearance in the Octagon since winning The Ultimate Fighter, Ryan Bader beat Carmelo Marrero Wednesday in a fairly boring unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 18.

Tyson Griffin and Rafael dos Anjos put together a terriffic fight at UFC Fight Night 18 Wednesday in Nashville, one that had action on the ground and on the feet and ended with Griffin winning a unanimous decision.

In the first round, dos Anjos caught Griffin in a knee compression lock and appeared to have him in serious trouble. Although Griffin eventually pulled himself free of the submission attempt, he was limping badly on his left knee, and UFC announcer Joe Rogan speculated that he might have blown out his anterior cruciate ligament.

Junie Browning became a big name in the UFC by playing the role of bad boy on the reality show The Ultimate Fighter. But is Browning a legitimate fighter, or just a guy who got 15 minutes of fame on a reality show?

Based on how Browning looked Wednesday night in his UFC Fight Night 18 bout against Cole Miller, it appears that he's more reality star than fighter.

The much more experienced Miller had no trouble at all beating Browning, looking better than Browning on his feet and then catching him in a guillotine choke on the ground and forcing him to tap out in the first round. Standing over the fallen Browning, Miller asked, "Who's overrated now?" -- an allusion to pre-fight trash talk between the two fighters.
