Kampmann wants Hardy

The great Ninjasplace debate is hardy vs kampmann? a lot of bickering for two non factors.

I also don't like the literally no head movement for Kampmann, it's on a T for Hardy, who IMO is the better striker.

Just doesn't seem like it end well for Kamp

And listen, I'm not super high on Hardy at all, but I do think he's better than some give him credit for.

Ya that is the story of the fight. Kampmanns easy to find melon and Dan Hardy fists will bounce off eachother until the ref saves Kampmann again.

this is a thread that will have to be bumped later down the road

I've never seen someone get a win over an up and coming fighter like Paulo and subsequently get no credit as a factor in the division like this.

His skillset just proved Thiago sucked. He will never have the grappling or striking to compete with the best strikers and grapplers in the division. never ever ever.

Thiago does not suck. He gave Fitch a decent fight, knocked out Kos and chocked out Swick. He might not be the top contender he was thought to be but you are overreacting. Usually you see this overreaction for the winners getting too much cred or the losers getting too much shit. But in this rare occasion the winner is getting way too much shit.

True, this isn't like Wolf at all. Typically the winner gets a blowjob and extra cuddle time from Wolf.

Kamp was a bad matchup for Thiago, it happens

Bad matchup? LA where do you keep getting that? Thiago looked like ass and underperformed, and Kampmann had his best performance of his career.

Nothing to do with styles.

I personally think it did, Kampmann has the best technical striking we've seen from anyone Thiago has fought so far combined with Paulo's wild winging punches style, and also the best jj he's faced, pair this with Thiago's weak wrestling and Kampmann's strong enough wrestling, and I just see a bad matchup for Paulo I didn't see before the fight.

Thiago's striking was significantly more highbrow than what he employed at 115 against Mike Swick, further, his wrestling was a lot better against Jon Fitch, who would manhandle Kampmann on the ground.

Thiago under performed.
