Round 1:
Kampmann shoots immediately for a single-leg, then wraps up Condit’s body and trips him down along the fence. Condit twists underneath and tries to walk off the fence, but he winds up back where he started, with Kampmann in his guard. Kampmann stands and throws punches which Condit is able to deflect. Kampmann tries to take Condit’s back but only manages to sink in one hook before Condit slips free and takes top position. Kampmann works his way back up after absorbing an elbow and puts Condit back on the fence. The welterweights jockey for position, Condit landing body shots and a knee inside. Kampmann hits another takedown with 1:45 left in what has been an up-and-down opening round. Condit slaps at the side of Kampmann’s head as the “Hitman” works to advance. Condit scrambles up and Kampmann is gesturing to his eye soon after, but ref Herb Dean lets them fight on. Kampmann hits a single inside the last 20 seconds to close out the round on top.
Round 2:
Kampmann grabs for another single-leg and gets turned away. A straight left from Kampmann turns Condit’s head, and another left hand follows close behind. Kampmann goes underneath a two-punch combo from Condit to try a double, but he gets shoved off. The next takedown attempt from Kampmann is stuffed, too, and Condit lands his cleanest offense yet with a one-two up top. Kampmann goes after another takedown, can’t get it, and Condit scores with another combo. Kampmann charges forward and runs into a pair of right hooks which redden his face. Condit is stringing it together now, mixing up punching combinations with leg kicks and jabs. Kampmann wants a takedown and puts Condit on the fence again, but Condit slips out and almost takes Kampmann’s back in the process. Instead, they go back to striking, and Condit closes out the round with a slapping head kick and another stuffed takedown.
Round 3:
Kampmann tries to grab hold of Condit on the fence, and again Condit slips right out. The next try is more successful, as Kampmann elevates and plants Condit on the ground near the fence. Condit posts up and stands, then turns Kampmann around and separates. A leaping right hook connects for Condit, followed by a leg kick inside and a left high kick. A pair of long, straight punches from Condit rocks Kampmann’s head and opens up another cut between the Dane’s eyes. More straight punches land on Kampmann’s face, which is now streaked with blood. Kampmann tries to clinch up, so Condit sends hooks around the outside. Left hook, right straight, and another right straight from Condit sends Kampmann stumbling backward into the cage. Kampmann is still bouncing on his toes as he circles the outside, but Condit is just lighting him up in the exchanges now. Kampmann pushes Condit against the cage, so Condit tries a standing power guillotine. Kampmann slips out of this and falls to the ground, so Condit gives chase and tries a rear-naked choke. This won’t stick either, and Kampmann scrambles up to finish the round on his feet.
Round 4:
Kampmann clips Condit with a right hand and shoves him to the ground, but the “Natural Born Killer” recovers quickly and regains his footing. A left hook to the body stuns Kampmann, and Condit tries to capitalize with a barrage of straight punches to the head along the fence. A pair of knees finally sends Kampmann to the ground; he’s not knocked out, but it doesn’t look like he’s in a rush to get back up, and ref Herb Dean steps in to call an end to the fight as Kampmann remains seated, shaking his head.
Condit wins by TKO in Round 4 at 54 seconds.
