looks like a good match-up. If swick comes out like he did in his last fight i think he’ll take it. cant ever count out kampmann though.
i seen a lot of people opting for Swick on this one. i think Swick just has a higher profile and therefore everyone is opting for him, people seem to have forgotten or dont know how bad ass Martin is. I fully expect Martin to win this one.
Same people also been speaking of winner of this fight getting a title shot. ridiculous. beat a couple of fitch, alves, koshcheck or hughes and you might be deserving.
3-0 at WW with wins over 2 top 10 guys in Swick and Condit would definitely make Kampmann deserving IMO.
Martin is a very solid fighter who is good at everything, but Swick is on that same level, I dont think in a fight like this I want to pick a winner but man do I want to thank whoever signed it because this could be very very good.
Great match up. Kampman’s probably a better striker, but Swick has better grappling and submissions. If Swick can get the fight to the ground, I think he wins. Time for the “Swickotine”.
This fight shouldve happend at 99.
