Swick/Kampmann then GSP?

[JayC]

How do you guys see this going down?? I've been a Swick fan for awhile but even more recently. I think the guy truely gets better and faster w/each fight! On paper, I would think Kampmann edges him out but I'm going for Swick on this one. ...but sadly, neither really have the wrestling it would take to dominate GSP Doesn't mean they can't win since both have size, great striking, kampmann has a good ground game, and Swick has some pretty sick submissions.
Thoughts on their fight and vs GSP??

I got Swick over Kampman and GSP over Swick. I could see Swick knocking out GSP but that's the only way he could win. I see GSP dominating him if he plays it right and takes him down and GnP, but he might want to stand and Swick is the fastest 170 there is. That dude throws LASERS! If GSP wanted to protect his legacy and win all of his remaining fights he could by taking guys down and just pummling them to death but It seems he really likes to strike and is an overall good striker but Swick is SO fast, he could get clipped.

i've only seen a few kampmann fights, but i've been watching Swick for a while. they don't call him "quick swick" for shits and giggles, the dude can get inside, throw a combo and get out in a blink. I think he'll pick Kampmann apart.

Swick / GSP? tough call, I still say GSP. I think he'll stand with him for a while then take him down and sub Swick out.

Ya, you guys are seeing alot like I am.. Swick is friggin' fast!!!!...lol "..he throws LASERS!" ..lol I like that Dirk I respect Kampmann and his skills but after watching him get TORE UP by McFedries when standing, Dominated on his feet by Nate, and pretty much lost the stand up battle in his fight w/Condit, I think Swicks stand up/footwork is way better!! He may not do it in a minute or two but I can see Swick doing to Kampmann what Nate did to him.

I saw Rich Franklin is on that card also... Sweet, he's fighting Vitor Belfort. That should be a sick fight. I really like Franklin, but I dont know man, I think Vitor might get this one.
What do you guys think?

Also,
Frank Trigg and Koschek
Tyson Griffin and Franca, and the Mirko Cro Cop fights should cool.

I'm glad they brought back Trigg. That guy always puts on a good show.

 

[amvdub]

FUCK..... I heard Swick is out due to an injury and Kampmann is fighting a newb named Paul Daley. who do u guys think will fight GSP? I wanna see him and Matt Hughes go at it again.

 

[dirkdiggler9969]

Why would anyone wanna see Hughes and GSP 4? GSP dominated Hughes the 2nd and 3rd time and got caught in a spinning armbar reversal with 1 second left in the round in thier first fight. A forth fight between them will never happen. No one but you wants to see it.

And Paul Daley can scrap a little. He's no Swick but that should be a descent fight. I don't know who will fight GSP now. I can't think of anyone that he won't run through at WW. They need to bump him up like Silva. I can think of alot of great match-ups at a heavier weight.

 

[amvdub]

^^^ yeah, maybe. I like the guy and am looking forward to seeing him in upcoming events. I heard that he signed a new contract with the UFC. Good stuff!

GSP is an animal and will be hard to beat; his timing for takedowns is amazing.
