Nate is going to beat him down. If he can keep his head this time, and not dump points. But honestly, Kampmann thinks he has the tools to crack open A. Silva? No way. We all know how that is going to go down. (Wanderlei drops weight, and climbs the ladder to take on his buddy, setting up a HUGE card for all the marbles. I'm starting to think it takes a Brazilian to crack that Brazilian.) Seems like a nice guy, but talk about getting ahead of yourself… Nate is going to beat him down.

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:49:38 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=6109#comment-48126 i think kampmann would be smarter in a fight with Silva than Irvin was.. i mean, come on, Irvin said he was going to go in there and fight in Anderson's clinch... you'd be better off not even showing up.. kampmann wouldn't jump into Silva's clinch, he'd keep the distance.. he'd throw kicks, and circle and jab.. and i think he'd be prepared if it hit the ground.. either way though.. i can't pick anyone over Spider to win.. i think kampmann would be smarter in a fight with Silva than Irvin was.. i mean, come on, Irvin said he was going to go in there and fight in Anderson’s clinch… you’d be better off not even showing up..

kampmann wouldn’t jump into Silva’s clinch, he’d keep the distance.. he’d throw kicks, and circle and jab..

and i think he’d be prepared if it hit the ground..

either way though.. i can’t pick anyone over Spider to win..

Negative, I know but honest as well. Silva is on another planet. You should change your title to “Could Martin Kampmann be closing in on an ass beating”. Negative, I know but honest as well.

No matter how talented you are you have no chance of winning if you don't believe in yourself. For instance, I know my Chiefs have a 80% chance of losing to the Patriots but I believe they will win cause that's my sh!t! That’s confidence in yourself, TheSomberlain.

Kampmann may very well be one of the most underrated fighters in all of MMA. His long lay off put him out of the spotlight while MMA continued to grow with the casual sport fans and mainstream media. He was lined up to fight Rich Franklin for the UFC Middleweight Title in the past but then the injury occurred. Does he have a chance against Anderson Silva? Most don't, but in MMA we all know crazier things have happened (Serra over GSP by KO). Kampmann defeating the likes of Marquardt then a Filho or Bisping/Leben winner is easier said than done in itself. BFit, I am right there with you.

While I realize that there is only one GSP, I think Kampmann is the closest thing to the GSP of the middleweight division. He has probably the best all around game in the division, and I look forward to see him fight Marquardt. What about a future matchup against the winner of Bisping-Leben?

Nate has ridiculous submission defense (look to his fights w/ Leites, Lister, Horn) At the same time I would give the grappling advantage to Marquardt, both in defense and offense. He has devastating GNP but can never seem to finish his opponents... but I think he might be able to against Martin. Martin hasn't faced opponents of Marquardt's caliber To me it looks like Marquardt is just going to overwhelm Martin. Marquardt will control dominant positions, easily get out submissions, and dish out some brutal GNP Kampmann’s striking skills aren’t the greatest… if you watched the McFedries fight, Kampmann was getting destroyed on the feet, he was throwing in some head kicks but they weren’t doing nothing

Remember the "pre-show" to Irvin vs Silva, the dude swore he had a chance in hell when he really didnt. Its just sad that the cats who stand no chance in hell always swear there going to win.
