"Coming off his first-ever UFC loss -- and just the second defeat of his professional career -- UFC middleweight Martin Kampmann (13-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) could finally pull the trigger on a move down to welterweight. "

I kept reading about what a killer this guy was and Nate made him look like a rookie.

Yeah and Nate didn't even focus on his strong points... he beat Kampmann at his own game.

Kampmann is supposed to be this awesome kickboxer, yet he was getting schooled by McFedries.  He took the fight to the ground and did pull a sub.  But his standup isn't anything special!  He'll have loads of trouble at 170 too!

It did seem as if Nate weighed a bit more than Kampmann though

He is tall for a welterweight, which could work in his advantage, but I don't see him making a name for himself in any weight class right now.  He needs to learn to work the cage and use his strengths.

Nate is a really big 185. He is just one of those guys that packs a lot of muscle onto his frame and has really thin skin naturally, so he always looks like a beast.  It's his shoulders, mostly. But he really did dominate Martin.
