Martin Kampmann Willing To Fight Any Weight Class...Sort Of

When UFC fighter, Martin "The Hitman" Kampmann, made the decision to drop down to the welterweight division after a successful run at 185lbs, the move was hailed by most industry insiders as the Danish born fighter would likely gain a leg up on the competition at 170lbs.

Always undersized at middleweight, Kampmann never seemed to struggle much taking on anybody at 185lbs, but the decision was made to test the waters at 170lbs and it was a successful move as he won his first fight by TKO in the 2nd round over Alexandre Barros in February.

Now as Kampmann prepares for his main event match-up against Carlos Condit on April 1st, the Xtreme Couture fighter tells MMAWeekly Radio that he's happy to face anybody in any weight class...well, sort of.

When asked if he was happy to be the bigger fighter when facing other welterweights, Kampmann responded, ""Yeah sure. I'd like to fight 55'ers too."

155lbers?!? So of course the next question had to be can Kampmann actually make the cut to 155lbs?

"No, but if they like fighting bigger guys, I'd fight 45'ers too," Kampmann said with a laugh.

Kampmann finishes up his camp in Las Vegas this week before heading to Nashville for his fight against Condit next week. Check out the entire Martin Kampmann interview later this week on MMAWeekly Radio.

Jens Pulver Co-Hosts MMAWeekly Radio Monday...Possibly From Delivery Room


With co-host Jeff Cain on vacation, former UFC lightweight champion and current WEC featherweight contender, Jens Pulver, has been gracious enough to stop by the show and act as co-host on Monday night's show.

Not only will "Lil' Evil" be the co-host, but he may very well be giving play by play as his child is born into the world.

You see Jens is expecting a baby to come due on Monday, but the former champ doesn't want to let the fans down so even if he's in the delivery room, he'll be on the show for sure.

"I may be in the delivery room, but if I am you'll be getting the detailed play by play," Pulver said with a laugh.

Monday night's show will also feature an interview with #2 lightweight in the world, Eddie Alvarez, just a couple of weeks out from his showdown with Shinya Aoki on New Year's Eve.

TUF 8: Guess Who Bought The Itching Powder

The eighth season of the "Ultimate Fighter" is under full swing now and the members of both teams are starting to pull pranks on each other, seemingly at a moment's notice.

But have you ever wondered who brought Krzysztof Soszynski the itching powder that literally got under everyone's skin on Team Nogueira?

Well funny enough it's the producers of the show who are more than happy to fill the grocery list of the fighters in the house with not only food, but any other material that the housemates request while spending their 6 weeks together.

"You have a little list for our food and what not and he asked for itching powder and they brought it to him," TUF 8 fighter Ryan Bader told MMAWeekly Radio recently. "Obviously, you know Spike wants to see some drama and they figure there might be some drama after that so they gave it to him."

There are a few restrictions however, but not many for what will surely turn into good television.

"Anything that's not too expensive and that's maybe going to start some drama and be good for TV, they'll definitely have that in there," Bader commented.

The same can be said for alcohol and other things the fighters request so long as it doesn't endanger anyone, but as Bader explained there was a reason why his teammates were so annoyed by the itching powder used in last week's episode.

"That itching powder's actually like little cactus and it's also fiberglass mixed in with it, like little tiny strips of fiberglass," Bader disclosed. "So you think itching powder, it can't be that bad, but it's not really powder, it's like little shards of fiberglass."

Ouch!

Bisping Isn't Title Happy... Yet!

Since making his move to the middleweight division, popular British fighter Michael Bisping has had a very hard time keeping his name away from matchmakers across the globe putting him in a title fight against current UFC champion Anderson Silva.

Bisping takes the fans enthusiasm as a huge compliment, but also knows ultimately it's up to the UFC who he fights and when.

"Me personally, I take the compliment from it, but I don't read too much into it," Bisping said to MMAWeekly Radio recently. "Obviously, it's very flattering."

Never one to jump ahead of himself, the Brit admits that he'd always accept a title shot, but it's not something he wishes for yet at this point in his career as a 185-pounder.

"If a title fight was offered in my next fight, obviously I'd take it, but right now if I had a say in it, I wouldn't want that just yet," Bisping stated. "I'm still maturing as a fighter. I'd still want two or three more fights before I got that opportunity."

First things first, Bisping takes his shot at Chris Leben this weekend in England at UFC 89.
