Entering the evening, Condit was ranked no. 2 and Kampmann wasn’t far behind at No. 6.

Carlos Condit’s win at UFC Fight Night 27 on Wednesday went a long way toward proving he’s the best welterweight not involved in the division’s next championship bout.

After losses to champion Georges St-Pierre and top contender Johny Hendricks, Condit made a statement with a fourth-round stoppage of Martin Kampmann. In doing so, Condit showed he’s capable of beating just about any 170-pound fighter in the world.

Unfortunately, with such fresh losses to St-Pierre and Hendricks, Condit probably won’t have an opportunity to move upward anytime soon.

While he awaits an event that could change that, here is who Condit and the rest of the UFC Fight Night 27 competitors should meet next.

The UFC returned to Indianapolis for UFC Fight Night 27, and for the most part, the card delivered some solid weekday fight fun.

Carlos Condit and Martin Kampmann faced one another for the first time since Kampmann took a controversial split-decision win in 2009 in the evening’s main event. This time it was Condit who picked up the win in decisive fashion as he finished Kampmann in the fourth round via TKO.

In the night’s co-main event, Rafael dos Anjos cemented his place as a lightweight title contender by taking out a very dangerous Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. Dos Anjos looked good early, but Cerrone turned up the offense late to make a surge toward victory. Ultimately it would be the Brazilian who won the fight.

With every event, there were some serious cash payouts up for grabs, but surprisingly, only one fight from the main card took home a post-fight bonus. Read on to find out which lucky fighters took home an extra $50,000.

Condit vs. Kampmann: Breaking Down the FightMetric Numbers

If you tuned in to UFC Fight Night 27 from Indianapolis on Wednesday, you saw some great action. From the barnburner that was Erik Perez-Takeya Mizugaki, to the Fight of the Night main event between Martin Kampmann and Carlos Condit, the night cer…

In watching the main event, fans saw two different approaches to the fight. Kampmann wanted to use wrestling, as he did in their first encounter, while Condit was more into throwing strikes and making this a kickboxing match.

Using the FightMetric stats, let’s break down how this fight went.

Round 1

The first round was scored by most, if not all, in favor of the Dane. Kampmann was 4-of-5 in scoring takedowns, which earned him an 80 percent takedown rate. That was the story of the first round, even though Condit was able to get back to his feet multiple times.

In terms of striking, Condit had the edge here. Despite not having a lot of time on the feet and being on his back, Condit outlanded Kampmann 32-12.

Seeing these stats shows how close the round was, though the edge still went to the Danish fighter.

Round 2

The second round saw the beginning of Condit‘s breakout. Kampmann went 0-of-5 this time in terms of takedowns, showing Condit‘s ability to regroup after the break. Unable to get the takedown, he was faced with a kickboxing fight.

Condit again outstruck Kampmann 37-19. There was no doubt Condit was the winner of this round.

Round 3

This is the round where Kampmann began to tire. Although he was able to get a takedown, it took three tries to get it down that one time. However, when on the mat, it was Condit who had two submission attempts and a pass.

The on-the-feet-striking wasn’t close either. Condit output eight times the amount Kampmann did, landing 63-8 in total strikes landed.

This set up the final round.

Round 4

Only lasting 54 seconds, this round was obvious. Kampmann landed a takedown, but not for long. Condit got back to his feet and ended up outstriking the Dane 15-4. Out those 15 strikes came the finish that ended the fight. Due to knees and punches, “The Natural Born Killer” walked out the winner due to superior striking.

The total numbers were as follows: Condit landed 147 total strikes while going 0-of-2 on takedowns. He had two submission attempts, two passes and one reverse on the ground. Kampmann landed just 43 total strikes, while landing six of 15 takedowns.

Condit vs Kampmann Fight Card: Which Fight Stole the Show at UFC Fight Night 27

Following UFC Fight Night 27, many fans will likely be discussing the performance of Carlos Condit in the evening’s main event, but there’s another fighter who undoubtedly stole the show in Indianapolis.

Much fanfare was given to Urijah Hall while on The Ultimate Fighter due to his insane knockout power, but all that hype failed to materialize as Kelvin Gastelum took the TUF title from Hall in the show’s finale.

That fight was at middleweight and Gastelum was looking to drop to welterweight in his next time out. Not only did Gastelum make weight with no issues, he looked great at 170 pounds.

Gastelum came out quickly against Brian Melancon and used his wrestling early. Melancon did well to fend off Gastelum‘s initial offense, but it was clear he was fighting on the defensive from the opening bell.

The end finally came when Gastelum landed a flush uppercut that dropped Melancon to the mat. The TUF winner quickly jumped on his fallen opponent and secured a rear naked choke to get the tap out victory.

The win effectively made Gastelum a very intriguing prospect in the 170-pound division. If he can continue to showcase KO power with solid wrestling, he could become one of the first credible TUF title challengers in some time.

Only time will tell, but it’s hard to deny that Gastelum looked impressive in his new weight class. It may have been he was simply facing an inferior opponent in Melancon, but a win is a win.

Perhaps fans should stop sipping the Kool-Aid for Hall and brew a batch up for the TUF winner Gastelum?
