Carlos Condit got his revenge from their first fight, finishing Martin Kampmann in the main event rematch at UFC Fight Night 27 in Indianapolis, Indiana, on Wednesday night.

Condit recovered from early takedowns by his opponent to get the technical knockout at the 0:54 mark of the fourth round of their featured bout.

“I’m excited, man. I’m really happy,” Condit said following the win. “Martin’s a really well-rounded fighter. He can take the fight wherever he wants. We saw that he was going to come out and try to take me down and make it a grappling match. We tried to avoid that and I ended up being able to pick him apart with the strikes.”

Kampmann almost immediately went in for a clinch, working his way to a takedown in the early stages of the first round. Condit briefly got back to the feet, but was put back down by his opponent soon after. Condit secured a reversal, gaining top position and returned to the feet where Kampman continued to utilize the clinch. After bringing the fight back down to the ground , Kampman worked from his opponent’s guard to advance, but found no success and they returned to a standing fight again. A fourth takedown by Kampmann took place just before the end of the opening round.

Kampmann began landing more strikes in the second round, combining that with more body clinches. Condit, however, was able to defend the takedown much better than the previous round, and later landed more significant blows to his opponent while on the feet. High and low striking combinations gave Condit the advantage in the second frame.

After some brief striking exchanges, Kampmann scored his first takedown since the first round, holding Condit down for nearly half a minute before the two returned to the feet. Condit then landed a strike that cut his opponent open on the face, and pressured Kampmann with a number of striking combinations. The fight nearly finished with Condit bringing it to the ground and attempting a rear-naked choke, but Kampann escaped and the round ended soon after.

Shortly after the fourth round began, Condit landed a one-two combination and swarmed on his opponent. He then clinched, landed two knees to the head, forcing Kampmann to fall to the canvas and referee Herb Dean to stop the fight.

Condit said his drive to title contention includes match-ups that he finds interesting, including ones against the two top welterweights in the division.

“There’s a lot of intriguing matches out there in the division,” he said. “Of course I would like to get that title shot back, possibly Johnny Hendricks or Georges St-Pierre, whichever one wins.”

With the win, Condit stops a two fight losing streak and improves his record to 29-7. Kampmann drops to 20-7 and has lost two consecutive fights.

Rafael dos Anjos will fight Donald Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 27, and judging by the video above, it was some of the toughest training he’s done.
