"With Kampmann I see a very well-rounded fighter. He's complete -- him and I have similar skill sets. He's got great kickboxing and also a very good ground game. He's tough too, McFedries had him in trouble and he came back and won that fight, so I'm expecting a war. [But] this is only his second time cutting down to 170. I've been fighting at 170 for the majority of my career. I know that I can perform at my peak ability after having cut my weight. I know I have the endurance to push hard for three rounds. I'm hoping to go out there and push the pace and hopefully break him."
– The last man to hold the World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) welterweight title, Carlos Condit, talks to host Larry Pepe on MMAmania.com’s exclusive presentation of Pro MMA Radio about his Octagon debut against Martin "Hitman" Kampmann in the main event match at UFC Fight Night 18: "Condit vs. Kampmann" after the WEC recently dissolved its welterweight class. Be sure to see if "The Natural Born Killer" can hang with the big dogs during the Spike TV telecast that is scheduled for tonight at 9 p.m. ET from the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Should be a good fight, he’ll do well in the UFC even if he loses, but i don’t ever see him being a title holder not so long as Alves, fitch, koscheck, and GSP are in the mix… i suppose if somehow all of them moved up or where out he can get the belt
Here’s a question for all you mma fans… i had a argument the other day with a worker, who’s the biggest UFC Welterweight right now?? i say Fitch.

All Condit needs to do to become a contender is pack on muscle. not a very hard thing to do. He will be in the mix for a long time

I’d have to say Thiago Alves. He has trouble cutting to 170.

I think Condit will do good if he can stay away from Kampmann’s bombs and possibly get it to the ground, even tho Kampmann’s no slouch on the ground either.

I pick Condit.. but there is a 15% chance that Martin can pull an upset.

Alves may be cutting the most weight but it would be a toss up between him and John Fitch for sure. Even if Alves might weigh more pre-cut I would say Fitch is still bigger physically.

I hope Kampmann shows Condit that even though he was WEC welter weight champ, that won’t mean much in the UFC where the fighters are at a much higher skill level.

Kampmann By 2rnd TKO,sick to ear about Condit(pussy stand up)

Can’t wait 2 more hours! I’m gonna go with condit by submission, i don’t see condit being big enough to bully kampman on the feet like marquardt did. I can’t wait to see tuf 9. I have a gut feeling the americans are going to win cuz i theres not a big talent pool in britain compared to the U.S.
