09/18/2009 - KAMPMANN PREPARED FOR DALEY AT UFC 103
by SHAWN OF THE DEAD
Martin "The Hitman" Kampmann was originally scheduled to face Mike "Quick" Swick at UFC 103 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. An injury forced Swick out of the bout and hard hitting British fighter Paul Daley stepped in to replace the American Kickboxing Academy fighter. "I was preparing for Swick. I was looking forward to fighting Swick, but now Paul Daley steps up. He was supposed to fight too on the same night. I was happy they could switch it up and get me an opponent to fight," Kampmann told MMAWeekly.com. Swick and Daley both like to strike, but have distinctively different striking styles. Kampmann, however, believes he'll be ready for whatever Daley brings to the Octagon on Saturday night. "I think he (Daley) probably swings more, throws more bombs, and maybe goes more for the knockout. They're both good strikers. Maybe Swick relies more on speed and flurries and Daley maybe more on one punch bombs, combinations, too," commented Kampmann. "They're both good but of course different body types. One guy's short and one guy's tall, but (expletive) it. It's still a fight." "I've been training hard. I should be prepared for whatever he brings. Of course you can never guarantee anything, but I'm coming in there to win and I'm coming to beat Paul Daley for sure."
