I really, really like this fight
Kiiiiiinda pulling for the Killa Bee on this one. There is some pretty sweet welterweight action on this card in general.
My motto,
As I live and learn,
is:
Dig and Be Dug
In Return.

Kampmann is going to get wrecked if he doesn’t learn how to not use his face to deflect punches.

Unrelated question for you. do you train at the USA JJ in Springfield? or do you just support the cause? A friend and I stumbled upon it while in town for FN. Saw your photo and clicked into your sbnation profile, favorite fighter Yuki Nakai. We happened to watch Choke while we were killing time before the event, Nakai’s last bouts. So were you stalking us?
Some people think I am a dumb, ugly human being, but really I am a beautiful ape, with exceptional verbal skills.
I do train at USAJJ in Springfield, the cause is kinda secondary to me (PapaJohn is really getting positive movement on it though) and Gilson Fernandes is up from Brazil this week kicking the shit out of us in training (it’s amazing). Rigan Machado is visiting in March sometime and Drysdale is coming by in a couple months as well, USAJJ is terrific to train at, great people and great jiu jitsu.
Yuki Nakai is definitely one of my favorite fighters, I have the utmost respect for him and it’s a dream of mine to check out his Tokyo school one day.
So I don’t think I was stalking you, but maybe I was?

Right on. I might have to hit the mats there next time I am in town. I have family very close and I stay with them three or four times a year. Never thought Drysdale would be that close. The JJ around this area is really growing a lot. lots of great schools.

Yeah, it’s a terrific boom area for jiu jitsu, so many good schools now.
50/50 up in Arlington
the bajillion TLI schools
Yamasaki schools
DeLaRiva in Sterling
Leo Dalla schools
USAJJ
Renzo Academy in D.C.
Balance in Baltimore
The list goes on and on. USAJJ recently has been getting great guests in, Johnny Ramirez was in town a while back, Gilson Fernandes is in town right now, and all those other amazing guys are heading over later in the year! Training’s never been tougher or better!

Does anybody have a link to the fight night 20 undercard results? Can't find them anywhere
Thanks in advance.
And sorry for posting off topic.
Any guesses on which fight gets the last Main card slot? I’m assuming the top 4 fights are:
GSP-Hardy
Mir-Carwin
Alves-Fitch
Almeida-Brown
some solid contenders for the 5th slot already, and Pellegrino doesn’t even have his opponent announced
I would guarentee Almeida-Brown on the PPV but most likely
obviously your top 3 matches will be on the PPV and Almeida – Brown and Saunders – Kampmann will make it on air weather PPV or Spike Prelim’s.
Depending on who Pelligrino gets he is almost a shoe in for the PPV or Spike Prelim’s and it also depends how many more matches they add and the quality of them.
Assuming Pellegrino's opponent is someone along the lines of
Tyson Griffin or Gomi, I’m thinking we’ll see him get the final main card spot.
Jim Miller’s also a Jersey boy, but Bocek isn’t much of a draw.
I can’t say enough how much I like the staredown mockups.
Giving Shogun his props. I had the fight 48-47 Machida but Shogun put up a monumental performance and I am honored to have seen it in person.

I'm hoping they stick this on the prelims so I can watch it for free.
Matt Hasselbeck's satellite TV signals would get intercepted.
Everything from this card onwards looks amazing.

From Saunders's point of view
this is probably the worst time for him to fight Kampmann, as Kampmann has just had two fights in a row where he ate more punches than he should have. If Kampmann is going to learn not to stand with guys when he shouldn’t, he’s going to learn it right now.
If he makes the same mistakes against Saunders that he did against Volkmann, Saunders will kill him.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
you have a valid point
but will the ego of KAMPMANN let him fight Saunder smarter?
nah i dont think so. I used to be a fan of Martin, but he just turned out to be a B level fighter who doesnt know how to use their intelligence in the fight.
I hope Ben break Martin’s face with his vicious knee strikes.
*BTW fighters who use their intelligence in the fight: Gegard Mousasi, Fedor Emelieanko, Sakuraba n GSP as well.
Those don’t: Martin, Tim Sylvia, and Sokoudjou.
You have to beat the legend, in order to become the LEGEND

One of my favourite fights ever was Saunders over Wolff
where Saunders didn’t throw an effective punch at any point on his feet and yet won a vicious TKO with just knees and kicks.

WOAH
I had no idea. I’ll have to look into alternative means. Got some friends in the area in media, maybe they can score some freebies or something..

My friend and I spilt one to get good tickets for 101 but I never thought I’d get to use it again. Got sec 211 row 3 this time 109 dollars for a ticket.

Not necessarily
Both have a one UFC loss.
