Man I feel sorry for Kampmann...

The final CompuStrike numbers: Kampmann more than doubled Sanchez's output overall (97-45) and had a clear edge in power strikes (50-39).
I just saw the fight and had it crystal clear 29-28 for Kampmann. Stuffing takedowns are also octagon controll, the more I think about it the more silly the decision seems to me. Well guess thats the nature of the game. Atleast they were better then the Australian judges this weekend.

Not only that, but did you see Diego's face? That should have told the whole story! Diego was clever in that he started swinging for the fences and looked like the agressor, but Kampmann was by far the winner IMO.
