Martin Kampmann was the underdog coming in to UFC 115 with the hot new thing in the welterweight division, Paulo Thiago, thought to be the more complete fighter. Kampmann didn’t let popular opinion stand in his way though as he outworked Thiago on the feet with crisp combinations and outgrappled him in both the wrestling and submission departments.
UFC 115 Results - Martin Kampmann Outclasses Paulo Thiago
Kampmann was shockingly effective in every department of the game and other than a few moments it was Kampmann in control. Admittedly I expected Kampmann’s kickboxing to fail him and Thiago to outclass him on the ground. However, Kampmann was a different fighter than he had been at any point in his career.
The judges all scored the bout 30-27 for Kampmann.
