Quoteworthy:
"Paulo's real tough. Every time I tried to put some moves on him on the ground he ended up standing up. Every time I tried to punch him he'd scramble, pull guard, go for kimuras. I'm sorry I didn't work more ground and pound, but he's real technical on the ground. If I opened up just a little bit he was trying to catch me in stuff. I could be as active on the ground as I wanted to... I wanted to be a little bit more hesitant with my striking. Usually I have a habit of just going straight forward and swinging. It makes some great fights for the fans. That's why I get a lot of support and I appreciate it. I would have liked to have opened up a little bit more. Sometimes I was too hesitant, but next time I'm going to fire more."
One of, if not the biggest winner at UFC 115, Martin Kampmann, is surprisingly critical of his outstanding performance against most everybody's favorite coming into the match up, Paulo Thiago. Not many folks, aside from our very own Jesse Holland, figured "The Hitman" would take the contest so easily. It was quite an impressive showing from Martin, one that will undoubtedly catapult him into some top tier welterweight bouts in the very near future. So, what's next for "The Dangerous Dane?" Does he have what it takes to earn an eventual title shot? Let's hear some thoughts.

Rematch with Nate marquardt??
He’s at 170 now…typo??

My guess is Rematch with Condit
That was an awesome fight and I wouldn’t mind seeing another 3 rds of it.

condit doesnt deserve kampmann
draw at the most against ellenberger and was 8 seconds away from losing a decision against macdonald.winner of lytle/brown for me
"whats the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?"
bud
condit almost beat kampman (split decision) so saying he doesnt desurve it is bullshit……they are both coming off 2 wins and I personaly think condit should have won the fight
The Red Wings will come back stronger
RESTORE THE ROAR 2010 Detroit Lions
yeah but kampmanns just beat thiago
who wouldve arguably fought a no.1 contender match next.kampmann should get that shot imo against winner of alves/fitch.condis just scraped two wins together.
"whats the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?"
Kampmann got KO'd by Daley, then he subbed Volkman (not exactly a world beater,and coming into the fight off a loss)
Now he goes to a decision with Paulo, impressive win for sure, but both fighters are up 2 fights now and they had a hell of a fight the first time around. I don’t see any harm in putting together Kamp vs Condit 2 and letting the winner fight in a #1 contender match.

good call actually
im just fucking pissed off i got 1/7 on the pool lol condits scrappy and a real fighter in the true sense of the word.i think a fight against the winner of lytle/brown would be awesome thats all.
"whats the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?"
also.....
That was Condits first fight in the UFC and I think he didnt comeout the way he would if they fought again
The Red Wings will come back stronger
RESTORE THE ROAR 2010 Detroit Lions
yeah but he performed better in that fight
than he did in the ellenberger fight imo.it could be the fact that ellenbergers a killer though.condit sure got away with it in that fight
"whats the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?"
condit opponent got hurt and he had to come up with a completly new game plan with not alot of time to prepare for ellenburger
The Red Wings will come back stronger

Condits looked awful lately
He almost got beat by 2 inexperienced no names in his last 2 fights, he needs to cut out the flashy shit and prove himself against good opposition before getting another shot at Kampmann.

welll
Ellenburger had 26 fights in his career when he fought condit so thats not inexperienced, he is just not well known. Also Rory is going to be damn good someday and I think he could beat some of the upper tier right now
The Red Wings will come back stronger
RESTORE THE ROAR 2010 Detroit Lions
For a guy who was a consensus top 10 well before he signed with the UFC he's been unconvincing
Scraping decision wins over a 20 year old rookie and a talented guy who hadn’t yet beaten anyone noteworthy isn’t living up to the hype. Condit needs a big performance in his next fight if he wants to put himself in the title picture, so far I’ve not seen anything that would trouble a top 10 WW.

thanks david
ive said before you are probably the most objective poster on here.i just called it the way i have seen it.condit hasnt shown me anything yet to call him top level ww.
"whats the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?"
kampmanns performance was great very professional
who next winner of fitch/alves?
"whats the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?"
kampmann/alves would be pretty sweet.

Is definitely a better nickname than The Hitman.

If Kampmann tried to bang with him
Something would break.
And look up Hearns’s fights. Great to watch, phenomenal power. Physical freak, too.

I've seen him fight
I know he’d kill Kampman in a boxing match, but definatley not an MMA match.

My thoughts exactly
Kampmann by sub provided he doesn’t shift into retard mode like against Daley.

Makes sense to me
That should be the co main event in the next UK show. Either give him Dan or Hathaway next.

hardy vs kampmann,hathaway vs condit on same card
"whats the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?"
I like Hathaway/Condit. good call.

Dave look to Mac's pickem thread for your sig
[[Next prediction -- Martin Kampmann submits Paulo Thiago]] I was so close.
Counting down the days till Shogun vs Rogerio 2 (which now seems to have increased dramatically)
Another great underdog pick mate
Teaches me for picking against you haha. What’s your next upset pick?

i dont know..
I will be picking Sexyama vs Wand, but I wouldn’t call that an “underdog” pick. I dont think the odds will reflect that as they were on Hathaway and Kampmann. But 117 with Nelson over Dos Santos, and Dos Anjos over Guida are my next big dog picks
[[Next prediction -- Martin Kampmann submits Paulo Thiago]] I was so close.

There's no chance that I'm picking against my boys Wand and Junior
But Dos Anjos is a good shout, Guida always has the ability to neutralise good jits fighters for 3 rounds but underestimating Rafael has cost me in the past so I’m tempted to pick him for that fight, plus I’ve never liked Guida or his style.

I was convinced Thiago would win this fight..
And pretty easily at that, I underestimated Kampmann big time, congrats to him.

me too man
i never knew kampann had such a technical ground game the way he improved positions was amazing and i love how he used the jab. i really thought if it went to the ground thiago would take it.

Great fight for Kampmann
Always good to watch guys who obviously try to be well rounded in their game. Kampmann dominated Thiago moreso than Fitch did in BOTH standing and on the floor. Awesome performance. Hope he gets one of the top guys in his next bout.
I think give him winner of maybe Fitch/Alvez for a title shot, id like to see him fight Dan Hardy aswell.
