Martin Kampmann Injured

Martin Kampmann has been forced to withdraw from his June 16th bout with Rich Franklin due to a knee injury suffered while training.

A knee injury suffered during training has forced middleweight contender Martin Kampmann to withdraw from his June 16th bout with Rich Franklin in Belfast, Northern Ireland.  A new opponent for Franklin is currently being sought for the UFC 72 main event and will be announced shortly.

Kampmann (15-2) is undefeated in the UFC with victories over Crafton Wallace, Thales Leites, and Drew McFedries. The UFC is currently looking for a replacement and at this point it Yushin Okami seems like a logical choice.

Feel free to comment on who you’d like to see step in for Kampmann at UFC 72.
