UFC welterweight Martin Kampmann is stepping in the octagon against Rick Story this Saturday night (Nov. 19, 2011) at UFC 139 in San Jose, California.
With a win over Story, Kampmann would find himself back in the 170-pound title chase, which at some point in the very near future, could have him standing across the cage from Nick Diaz. The same Diaz who nearly retired B.J. Penn at UFC 137 last month for his eleventh straight win.
Kampmann is not impressed.
Here is what he recently told MMASUCKA
“I personally think Carlos Condit got screwed. Nick Diaz has been pretty good at hyping himself up. To be honest, I don’t think Diaz is that good. Anytime he has fought any good wrestlers he has had problems. I think he’s going to lose badly to GSP. Diaz is good at running his mouth and doing his thing … you know … being a punk. I would love to fight Nick Diaz sooner than later. I would absolutely love to fight him somewhere down the line.”
