8 Bouts Official for UFC Live 3
Mike Whitman Jan 14, 2011
UFC Live 3 “Sanchez vs. Kampmann” has moved one step closer to
becoming reality, as eight fights are now official for the event.
The promotion on Friday confirmed a previously reported
middleweight contest between Rob Kimmons
(Pictured) and Dongi
Yang.
The event, which will go down March 3 from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky., will be headlined by a welterweight showdown between dangerous Dane Martin Kampmann and the resurgent Diego Sanchez. The show’s main card will air live on the Versus network.
Kimmons has lost two of his last three bouts and holds a 3-3 record
inside the Octagon. “The Rosedale Reaper” looked sharp in his debut
at “The Ultimate Fighter 7” Finale, as he choked out Rob Yundt with
a first-round guillotine. Kimmons was not as impressive in his
sophomore effort, as he was submitted less than 90 seconds into his
fight with former International Fight League middleweight champion
Dan
Miller at UFC Fight Night 15. Since then, Kimmons has earned
wins over Joe Vedepo
and Steve
Steinbeiss, while falling to hard-punching Jorge
Rivera. Most recently, Kimmons was submitted by Aussie Kyle Noke in
the second round of their UFC 122 affair.
A member of Korean Top Team, Yang is a veteran of Deep and Sengoku Raiden Championship. The 26-year-old fought his way to an undefeated record before he made his UFC debut in October, suffering his first career loss in a split decision to Chris Camozzi at UFC 121. “The Ox” holds eight of his nine career victories by knockout and has never been finished.
Also scheduled for the event is a pair of middleweight bouts, as C.B. Dollaway takes on Mark Munoz and Alessio Sakara squares off against Maiquel Jose Falcao Goncalves. Additionally, former WEC bantamweight champion Brian Bowles will lock horns with the Greg Jackson-trained Damacio Page.
