Kampmann? Kampmann has gone from one of the most underrated to one of the most overrated fighters in the span of a few months. He was getting killed by both Ellenberger AND Alves before the comeback. In fact, if you think Condit/MacDonald was a legitimate stoppage, then Ellenberger DEFINITELY should've stopped Kampmann.

Hendricks does deserve the title shot, I agree. But he's facing the next best thing in my eyes and in a situation like this, it's good enough for me.

"Kampmann has gone from one of the most underrated to one of the most overrated fighters in the span of a few months."

That's so ******* true! I used to feel no one gave him the respect he deserved, then after a couple flukey finishes people had him in their top five. How the **** is he top 5? Alves isn't even a top 10 guy on those people's lists and he kicked his ass.

Hendricks for sure... agreed there @skelliher.

Hendricks fights Condit
Woodley fights Ellenberger

Woodley is not co-main material on that card.

I think Ellenberger should fight Condit and Maia should fight Hendricks.

@Mmaster: Woodley vs. Ellenberger is a great idea.

I think Marquardt vs Ellenberger would be much better than Ellenberger/Woodley

If Marquardt is able to fight, then for sure. Mike Pierce could also be an option. All three UFC losses have come to top ten opponents.

Agreed. Pierce has proved that he can be in there with the top guys and hold his own.

I don't this Marquardt will be ready on this kind of notice, especially after the beating his leg took against Tarec.
