According to UFC.com Martin Kampmann has pulled out of his scheduled fight with Rich Franklin at UFC 72 scheduled for June 16.
According to his manager, Ken Pavia of Pavia, Ciscone, & Associates, Kampmann injured his knee while wrestling in training last week at UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture’s gym in Las Vegas, Nev.
“Martin’s out,†said Pavia. And it is likely that he may stay that way for the next few months. Pavia stated that they have gone through initial examinations that are indicative of a severe enough injury to keep Kampmann out of the June 16 bout with Franklin, but didn’t want to get into the specifics of the injury until they go through a second examination to accurately verify the extent of the damage.

LOL KAMPMANN SUCKS ANYWAY… ID RATHER SEE OKAMI AND FRANKLIN
as if this card didnt suck enough!! man, this is the worst ufc card in a while! i dunno if ill even watch this one live.. not even one of the fights interests me even a little..
OKAMI IS AS BIG IF NOT A BIGGER 185 THAN FRANKLIN
BV
UR TOTALLY RIGHT
HEY SILVA!
Why not sign up the best in the world……….Matt Linland?
LOL, I had put this in the wrong place earlier.
Yeah, I am sorry but this card is lackluster.. they need some bigger names that promise knockout power or submissions….. heck I would rather watch reruns of TUF 1 2 3.. lol
but i heard its gonna be for free and Kampman was getting handled by MAcfedries so he probably would have lost to franklin
