I still think Alves' tenacity will frustrate Kampmann

I will never root for an MMA fighter like I do for Alves (Barrys super close). I missed a party to watch UFC 138 alone, just to watch his fight and Im so pissed off I couldnt see him live. If Alves loses, logging onto Tapology and seeing a red cross next to his name will make this song play:

Picking Alves for two reasons:

1. Kampmann gets screwed by judges in every fight.
2. justynbomar picked Kampmann and we all know how well he picks.

@anik very good point on Kampann and the judges. I felt he beat Sanchez and Shields and he "lost" both of those. I'm picking Kampann again but only because I think he'll do enough that there will be no way the judges can screw it up.

Prediction: correct Kampmann   wrong Decision  

If Kampmann wins this fight I would love to see him fight Condit.  I know it may sound crazy, but I think Kampmann deserves it after what he has gone through with bad decisions. He was probably only 1 win away from a title shot before all of his bad luck happened.

Prediction: correct Kampmann   wrong Decision  

If Kampmann chooses to grapple, he takes it with ease. However, if Kampmann stands the whole time, I think Alves can win on points due to leg kicks.

Prediction: correct Kampmann   wrong Decision  

This fight is gonna depend largely on Alves's weight cut. He's had trouble with that in the past so who knows until the weigh ins. If Kampmann can use his reach advantage to keep Alves out of range, that'll work really well for him. I think Alves's best chance to win this fight is to turn it into a brawl and keep pressing forward threatening Kampmann with the clinch/takedown and trying to get on the inside because his reach is smaller. 

I think Kampmann got screwed with the judges a lot. He definitely won his fight against Jake Shields and Diego Sanchez. His record shouldn't be 18-5, but more like 20-3. I'm a fan of both Kampmann and Alves, but I think it'll be another close decision for Kampmann. I think Alves will tire out during the later rounds, and that Kampmann will come into the fight with a good gameplan and use his range and TDD to stay out of the clinch.

Prediction: correct Kampmann   wrong Decision  

Alves hasnt had problem with his weight in a while, so I dont think thats a problem.

Turn it into a brawl? They're both extremely technical strikers, I don't think it would be benefical to either gy to turn it into a brawl. Also, Alves has fought 5 rounds before and looked okay, so I don't think cardio is an issue.

@p4pgoat I don't think that'll be the case. He lost controversially to Sanchez and Alves is better than Sanchez.

Here's to hoping that Alves shows his true potential in this fight.  He has had one of the most unfortunate and unlucky careers I've ever seen, but the guy is packed with talent.

Going with Alves on this one should def be fight of the night I think these guys will put on a good scrap.

Thiago will throw faster & harder than Kampmann and come away with a "W". Besides, my pathetic mancrush on Thiago won't allow me to pick against him...

I feel bad picking against my boy Kampmann, but I think his tendency to get into firefights will be his downfall in this one. Alves looked like he was back to his old form in his last fight.

I'm still bitter about Kampmann losing that decision to Sanchez last year. One of the worse decisions of 2011 IMO.
