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.
