Franklin via TKO. Kampmann had trouble with McFedries mainly because of his style. Kampmann said he had little experience fighting against south paws. Franklin is not a south paw so I think Kampmann will do fairly well on his feet. Franklin has more power but Kampmann has better speed and accuracy. He prolly won't KO or TKO Franklin but Kampmann is a lot stronger than he looks. If you will remember from the McFedries fight how he threw the much larger framed McFedries down to the ground like he was nothing. If Kampmann wants to win he will have to get top position on the ground and prolly look for a sub. I don't know if he can TKO Franklin, but it's not impossible I guess. I wouldn't say McDonald had a better chance, that's kind of ridiculous. Kampmann has showed he knows submissions as well as standup with an equal amount of submission wins and tko/ko wins. Kampmann definately has a better chance and the kid can take one hell of a shot. This is gonna be one hell of a fight and not an easy one for Franklin at all. I think you guys are gonna be pleasantly surprised at Kampann's showing. He is NOT going to get dominated. I want Kampmann to win but I just have a feeling Franklin will get the W this time. But it will be a fun fight.

Here guys, watch the McFedries fight again. Kampmann was losing the standup but he didn't do all that bad and actually landed quite a few good solid shots. Then watch how easily he controls him on the ground. McFedries is a bit inexperienced, yea, but he's not THAT inexperienced. You can't take the credit away from Kampmann by saying he simply "exposed" him. McFedries trains with Hughes and others, he is not THAT inexperienced. Kampmann worked a beautiful arm triangle that should get praise from you guys not "meh"s.
