Martin Kampmann believes he earned a shot at the UFC welterweight title with his victory over Jake Ellenberger at the TUF 15 Finale last night in Las Vegas. That said, he'll settle for second best.
UFC Welterweight contender Jake Ellenberger says that despite the criticism he has received from his seemingly lack of cardio in his bout against Diego Sanchez, he can go a full 25 minutes if the occasion arises.
Martin Kampmann says he's tired of decisions and because of that, he's just going to start finishing his opponents, starting with Thiago Alves at UFC on FX 2 on Fri., March 2, 2012, in Australia.
Martin Kampmann has been no stranger to razor thin decisions during his UFC tenure. One example was his bout with Carlos Condit, a fight which may happen again in the very near future.
Attempting to shrug off the disappointment of his return to welterweight, Diego Sanchez stepped inside the Octagon opposite Martin Kampmann. After three rounds, "The Dream" was battered and bloody but victorious.
As voted by MMAmania.com fans, the best fight of the year 2011 was the UFC 139 main event bout between light heavyweights Dan Henderson and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.
