Breaking Down the Main Events
Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann
There is no question that Kampmann deserves immense credit for being one of the toughest fighters in the sport, but he will meet his match Wednesday when Condit walks away with a knockout victory.
Condit is coming off two devastating decision losses against the top two welterweight fighters in the sport (champion Georges St-Pierre and No. 1 contender Johny Hendricks), and getting back on the right track will happen with a dominant win over Kampmann.
Kampmann is coming off a tough knockout loss to Hendricks as well, but it will be Condit’s desire to get revenge for the decision loss he faced against Kampmann in 2009 that helps end this five-round fight early.
Prediction: Condit via KO
Donald Cerrone vs. Rafael dos Anjos
There are few fighters in the lightweight division as tough and respected as Donald Cerrone, but he will face a tough test against Rafael dos Anjos this week.
Dos Anjos has won four fights in a row, and the veteran is looking to climb into title consideration by knocking off a fan favorite like Cerrone.
That won’t be easy with the Cowboy fighting for the same purpose. As well as Dos Anjos has been fighting, Cerrone’s experience in big fights will give him the advantage.
Look for the Cowboy to catch his opponent making a mistake and knock him out with an array of stiff kicks and hard punches.
Prediction: Cerrone via KO
