Paulo Thiago vs. Martin Kampmann Fight Prediction – UFC 115

PAULO THIAGO vs. MARTIN KAMPMANN

Fight Overview:  Paulo Thiago faces yet another tough challenge at welterweight, this time from former Middleweight contender Martin Kampmann.  Both guys have great standup and submissions so this should be a really competitive fight.

Thiago’s Strengths:  Thiago has a good chin, knockout power, and excellent submissions and positioning on the ground.

Thiago’s Weaknesses:  His wrestling is only decent and his hand speed is not great.

Kampmann’s Strengths:  Kampmann has solid boxing with good power, good wrestling, and good submissions.

Kampmann’s Weaknesses:  His chin is somewhat suspect.

The Verdict:  Two guys who are pretty evenly matched.  Thiago probably has slightly better standup and a much better chin, but Kampmann’s takedowns and wrestling are superior.  In the end, I think it will be Kampmann’s chin that betrays him yet again, and Thiago will catch him for the T/KO.

Fight Prediction:  Paulo Thiago by third round T/KO.
