ROSEMEAD, Calif. – Martin Kampmann is not offended by the intense spotlight on former Strikeforce middleweight champion and UFC newcomer Jake Shields.

The way he sees it, if the UFC picked him to showcase Shields’ skills, they picked the wrong guy.

“They should have picked somebody else because I’m nobody’s showcase,” Kampmann said of their UFC 121 co-main-event fight. “I’m nobody’s stepping stone. I’m here to achieve my goals, and that is to get as far as possible in the UFC.”
