Martin Kampmann: It's risk vs reward against Paulo Thiago at UFC 115

Quoteworthy:
"I definitely think (Paulo) Thiago is higher ranked and more dangerous than Ben Saunders. The risk is up, but so is the reward. The guys you want to fight are the guys with all the hype behind them. I want to win fights and I want to come in and beat guys up. I want to keep getting tough guys, and I think Paulo Thiago is the first step. I want to beat him, of course, and I want to take that next step up. I don't like looking ahead, but guys like Jon Fitch and Thiago Alves are fighting. Dan Hardy is coming off a loss. There are a lot of different guys up there high in the welterweight division that could be good to fight, but first I have to focus on Thiago."
Martin Kampmann is all patched up and ready to take on Paulo Thiago this Saturday night (June 12) after watching his title aspirations evaporate at the hands of Paul "Semtex" Daley back at UFC 103 in September 2009. "The Hitman" emptied his clip into Jacob Volkmann at UFC 108 to right the ship on Jan. 2 but was forced to withdraw from his UFC 111 scrap against Ben Saunders after suffering a grisly eye laceration in training camp. No question he faces a very stiff test at UFC 115 as he tries to inch his way back into contention by arresting the rise of the Brazilian supercop in Vancouver. Does Kampmann have the chops to pull it off?

Whatever Danish or Dutch, he is a nuissance and will never amount to more than a mid-range gatekeeper
Bullets dodge Fedor.
hahahaha excellent
Got nothing against Dane’s, Gus Hansen is pretty cool. But Kampman is a nuissance
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Do You Remember Him Actually Doing Very Well Until Nate Put Power On Him
If I remember correctly he actually dropped Nate.

My boy Paulo is taking this one....
This win + 1 more = title shot for Paulo. Paulo / GSP around Jan – Feb 11….

I go with your boy too.
With one more win Paulo perhaps needs just a fight to get St Pierre.

Thiago takes this one imo.
He’s getting better every fight, and I will always like this guy for making Rogan eat his words:
“Thiago’s striking is rudimentary here Mike, he keeps getting tagged by Koschek”.
“Koschek’s boxing looks phenomenal here.”
“Just a matter of time before Koschek KO’s him”
“AND IT IS ALL OVER!!! THIAGO WITH THE KO”.
Glorious.
that was sweet
And he was saying how paulo better change something up..I sometimes wonder if he was playing possum a bit..lulling kos into a false sense of security..either way it was great…if only we could have heard rogans thoughts at that moment..joes thoughts;whooooops, maybe I shouldn’t nuthug so much

Playing possum is genius.
I play possum when the wife has something for me to do. Like when the garbage needs to be taken out. I “play possum” by sneaking out the back door and hanging out with my buddies.
haha...me too..do you have tunnels dug underneith your house too?
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
No, but that would work well if it lead underneath the couch cushions.
When I hear her calling, I just sneak down between the cushions and make my escape. We could really be on to something here Mac.
When the minds of married or attached men come together...
True genius is achieved, becuase our survival is threatened. Therefore, we go to extreme measures.
I used to think Kampman would be the next champ at 170 but lately Im not sure
Him and Swick would be interesting
This fight could be a great ground fight
if Martin is able to take control. Paulo seems to have made a lot of progress with his standup so Martin better not f around on the feet for too long
Dan Hardy
would be a good matchup IMHO. Also think Martin would finish him which would make a good case for him as a contender. Using MMA math anyway. If GSP couldn’t finish him and then Martin did. I think this guy stays around for a while and will be a force at 170. Could be wrong but I think Daley just caught him off guard and overwhelmed him. I think the Hitman is better than that one fight would indicate.
Do not. I repeat, do not, go to mma-core.com. I made the mistake of watching a couple UFC 108 bouts on there and I am still trying to get all the viruses of my computer. Ridiculous! You've been warned.

uppercut
for the knockdown and than darce choke for the win!!!! i cant see how kampmann takes this his standup isnt that powerful compared too paulo and paulo is bjj blackbelt maybe in the wrestling department. but i dont think that will earn him te win
Leg kicks are the most underrated weapon in MMA
