Middleweight contenders Nate Marquardt and Martin Kampmann will meet on 9/6/08 on the UFC 88 fight card. A win by Kampmann could result in a title shot against the winner of the Patrick Cote vs. Anderson Silva matchup at UFC 90. Marquardt will need a win against Kampmann, and a Cote victory to have a chance at a title shot, given his recent loss to Silva. Both fighters are good strikers with good ground skills as well. Marquardt is coming off of a split decision loss to Thales Leites, a fight in which he lost 2 points to fouls, costing him a victory. Kampmann is coming off a submission win over Jorge Rivera, and has won three of his four UFC fights by way of submission. Marquardt will most likely take the fight to the ground where he may have the edge with his wrestling skills, however he will need to avoid the submissions of Kampmann. Another good matchup scheduled for the main event on the UFC 88 fight card.

Joachim Hansen stepped in for the injured Eddie Alvarez, and stopped Jujitsu master Shinya Aoki in the first round of their championship bout. Hansen, who lost to Alvarez at Dream4, defeated Kulthar Gill earlier in the night to earn the opportunity to step in if any of the fighters were injured and unable to continue. Aoki scored a lopsided decision win over Caol Uno to advance to the finals unscathed. Alvarez won a slugfest with Tatsuya Kawijiri, KO’ing the stout Japanese Lightweight, but Alvarez suffered a nasty cut in and around his right eye and was not cleared to fight by the doctors. In stepped Hansen who aggressively pursued Aoki and landed a big left hand down to the face of Aoki who was all but finished, a few more punches led to the referee stoppage.
