Kampmann Could Be Closing In On Title Shot

5 Ounces Of Pain believes so:

Coming up at UFC 88, Martin Kampmann has a huge fight against Nathan Marquardt. With four straight victories (over Jorge Rivera, Drew McFedries, Thales Leites, and Crafton Wallace), Kampmann could see himself in the middle of the title picture with an impressive victory.
Looking at the current roster of UFC middleweights -- is there really a top contender out there? Of course, one of the main reasons there isn't a top contender is that Anderson Silva has convincingly beaten most of them.
Patrick Cote gets the next shot, but does anyone give him much of a chance? After that, there's Yushin Okami or possibly Paulo Filho and that's only if Filho would ever agree to fight his training partner and friend.
Therefore, Kampmann finds himself in a pretty good spot. With a big victory against Marquardt and possibly one more (maybe against Filho if the WEC and UFC middleweight divisions come together), Kampmann could get a match with the UFC's top fighter in Silva. Of course, those are two very difficult fights for Kampmann to win.

Kampmann is the best possible scenario of his MMA career right now. I agree that if he wins, then it may very well be "up in the air" as to who is a better contender for the title shot --- Okami, Bisping, or Kampmann. However, if he wins in a clear and dominating fashion (TKO or KO), then he just might skip right into a direct shot at Silva for the title. He better bring his A game, cuz this could either take him to the top, or drop him into that deep hole of several "decent" fighters in the MW class that seem to simply act as gatekeepers for the top 5 fighters.....A CLEAR win could really bring him some recognition and spark some excitement in the MW class that appears to be at a stalemate b/c Silva annhialates the living hell out of every contender that he faces.
