UFC Fight Night 18:
Condit v. Kampmann – Nashville, Tenn. – April 1, 2009
Martin “The Hitman” Kampmann broke Carlos Condit’s
eight-fight winning streak in the main event of UFC Fight Night 18.
Condit had built his reputation in the WEC as its
welterweight champion. He was coming off three successful title defenses and
made his UFC debut here in the main event.
Kampmann, a Danish fighter who had won six of his previous
seven bouts, used several submission attempts to score a split decision with
scores of 29-28, 28-29 and 29-28.
“Carlos is a really tough man,” Kampmann said. “That was a
war.”
This show served as the lead-in for Season 9 of The Ultimate
Fighter, which had a USA vs. UK theme. The coaches were Dan Henderson and
Michael Bisping.
Ryan Bader improved his record to 9-0 with a unanimous
decision over Carmelo Marrero in the light heavyweight division.
