Axe-Wound of the Day: Kampmann Out of UFC 111 With Monster Gash; Ellenberger to Replace



The poor bastard you see in the picture above is UFC welterweight contender Martin Kampmann, who had to pull out of his UFC 111 fight against Ben Saunders on Tuesday due to a stomach-turning gash over his right eye, which he suffered in training. (Damn, those Xtreme Couture guys need to take it easy with the broken-glass kickboxing matches.) Kampmann hopes to return to the cage in May. Saunders, who's coming off his first-round knockout of Marcus Davis at UFC 106, will now take on Jake Ellenberger, who's fresh off his TKO victory over Mike Pyle. In other UFC matchup news...

— According to a report on MMA Weekly, TUF 7 winner/Master Tweeter Amir Sadollah will compete next against undefeated Judo specialist Dong Hyun Kim at UFC 114 (May 29th, Las Vegas). Sadollah is riding back-to-back unanimous decision wins against Phil Baroni and Brad Blackburn; due to injury, Kim hasn't competed since his decision win over TJ Grant at UFC 100 last July.
