I had known that Martin “The Hitman” Kampmann was going to make his debut at welterweight at UFC 93, in Dublin, but I did not know his opponent. There were many rumors. It was recently reported that he was nearly signed to fight UFC vet Dennis Hallman, which leads us to believe Hallman will make a return to the UFC. Instead it appears that Kampmann will face UFC newcomer Alexandre Barros. Barros has a career 13-5 mark and is on an eight fight winning streak. Barros has notable losses in his career to UFC fighters Aaron Riley and Matt Hughes. However, he looks to be back on track and should make for an interesting bout. Should be a good test for Kampmann at 170.
