Background
Originally from Aarhus, Denmark, Kampmann began training in wrestling at the age of eight and trained for two years moving to karate at the age of 14 before transitioning into Muay Thai and boxing, competing in both as an amateur. In 2000, Kampmann began training in submission wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, before turning to mixed martial arts.{{Cite web |url=http://martinkampmann.com/bio/ |title=BIO - Martin Kampmanns Official Website |access-date=2014-05-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161026233859/http://martinkampmann.com/bio/ |archive-date=2016-10-26 |url-status=dead }}
Mixed martial arts career
=Early career=
Kampmann compiled an amateur mixed martial arts record of 8–1 before turning professional in 2003 while attending college as an engineering student. Kampmann then compiled a professional record of 9–1, capturing the Cage Warriors Middleweight Championship in the process, before being signed by the UFC.
=Ultimate Fighting Championship=
Kampmann competed for many years in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He initially fought as a middleweight, where he made his debut at UFC Fight Night 6 as a late replacement for Kalib Starnes.{{cite web |url=http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=3011 |title=UFC® : Ultimate Fighting Championship® |access-date=2007-08-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071219000829/http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=3011 |archive-date=2007-12-19 }} In his debut fight with the UFC, Kampmann defeated Crafton Wallace by first-round submission. His next victory came by way of unanimous decision over future top contender Thales Leites in The Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale on November 11, 2006. At UFC 68, after being wobbled and knocked down numerous times, Kampmann showed his toughness and resilience by defeating Drew McFedries via arm-triangle choke late in the first round.
His next UFC fight was scheduled for UFC 72 against former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin, but he was forced to withdraw due to a knee injury. Kampmann returned from his injury at UFC 85, where he defeated the heavy-handed Jorge Rivera by guillotine choke at 2:44 in the first round.
After a first-round TKO defeat to Nate Marquardt at UFC 88, Kampmann announced that he would drop down to the Welterweight division. He made his debut in the division at UFC 93 defeating newcomer Alexandre Barros by TKO in the second round. Kampmann then defeated the last reigning WEC Welterweight Champion Carlos Condit in a closely contested fight via split decision in the main event of UFC Fight Night 18.
Kampmann was to fight Mike Swick on September 19, 2009, at UFC 103. The winner was to receive a title shot against Georges St-Pierre.{{cite web |url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/15356/martin-kampmann-vs-mike-swick-set-for-no-1-contender-bout-at-ufc-103-in-september.mma |title=Martin Kampmann vs. Mike Swick signed for UFC 103 bout in September | MMAjunkie.com |access-date=2009-06-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090702033520/http://mmajunkie.com/news/15356/martin-kampmann-vs-mike-swick-set-for-no-1-contender-bout-at-ufc-103-in-september.mma |archive-date=2009-07-02 }} On September 4, it was announced that Swick had suffered an injury while training for their upcoming bout. Paul Daley replaced Swick for the fight. With Swick pulling out, the fight was not for the number-one contender spot anymore, as Daley was making his UFC debut. In an upset, Kampmann fell to the British fighter by TKO due to punches just 2:31 into the bout.
