Martin “The Hitman” Kampmann vs Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez

Martin Kampmann

Top Prediction: Sanchez via Decision.

Daniel Cassidy: This is a definite contender for fight of the year, with two of the most exciting and explosive Welterweights set to lock horns in the main event. While Kampmann is clearly the better striker, Sanchez will have an advantage in the ground game, looking to utilize his superior wrestling. I think it will all come down to Sanchez’s wrestling, and I think he might struggle to put the Dane on his back. I’ll take Kampmann via decision.

Joey Santosus: Both of these fighters are out to prove a point. Takedown defense will be key here for Kampmann, as he looks to create distance and utilize his technical striking advantage. Diego is relentless and tough to finish, but I expect “Hitman” to keep it standing long enough to steal the first two rounds. Martin Kampmann via Unanimous Decision.

Ryan Christian Ventura: Martin Kampmann is a very capable striker and we’ve also seen his abilities on the ground. Even though he lost his last fight to Jake Shields, he shown in that fight that he is capable of giving elite grapplers a hard time. Diego Sanchez however I feel is a much more well-rounded fighter. He may not be as good as Kampmann on the feet, but if Diego can manage to take this to the ground he could get the W. I say Sanchez wins via. decision.
