As such, this one's certain to be dissected for decades to come in journalism labs around the nation and world. But for us workaday MMA fans and writers, well, we're more focused on the main event, a rematch between violent welterweights Carlos Condit and Martin Kampmann. They originally fought in 2009, and Kampmann took a thin split decision.
Carlos Condit lost his debut fight in the UFC via split-decision to Martin Kampmann just over 4 years ago.
A fight he felt he let slip through his fingers.
The fight elevated his game, coming within a few strikes of the UFC welterweight championship.
After a loss to Johny Hendricks at UFC 158, he is on the outside looking in.
Martin Kampmann lost a critical contender’s fight to Hendricks as well and will watch Hendricks challenge for the belt at UFC 167.
Another win over the Natural Born Killer will probably launch him onto the short list of challengers vying to claim next.
But he cannot afford his notoriously slow starts, and unlike Condit, he must wade through the championship rounds for the first time.
