UFC 111: Cut forces Kampmann off card
by Jason Lee on February 11, 2010

Martin Kampmann suffered a cut above his right eye over the weekend, forcing the welterweight off of the UFC 111 fight card against Ben Saunders. Jake Ellenberger will be stepping in for the injured Kampmann.

A photo of the Kampmann cut was posted on Combat Clothing's twitter page. Needless to say, it's a pretty nasty cut. Kampmann is not expected to be out for long, and is anticipating a possible May return.

Ellenberger, his replacement, has a 1-1 record in the UFC. The welterweight lost a close split decision in his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 19 against Carlos Condit, but redeeming himself at UFC 108 with a TKO victory over Mike Pyle.

UFC 111 is scheduled to take place on March 27 in Newark, New Jersey.

 |  (20) Comments Mtx: Wow thats a nasty cut. Wonder how it happened arlovskiviako: Looks like someone kneed the shit out of him. The Hitman: someone obviously tried to knife him. thats worse that diegos. he is going to have some NASTY scar tissue Giada Esposito: That's a nasty cut. It's too bad it happened in practice and not at an event. At least he would have gotten his paycheck that way. JujitsWho: I guess this was a training accident huh? Or was it something else. If it was during training they are fucking stupid for going all out like that without gear on. On the up side, I like Ellenberger/Saunders as a replacement fight. Jake is badass and Saunders was very impressive last time out as well....should be good shawnb: this is bullshit! :mad: when i post vagina pictures I get in trouble! D_V: that cut is fairly typical of eye cuts. there's just nothing to hold the skin together when it's sliced. it's loose there. it was probably the side of a glove, in sparring. those fucking things can be sharp as all hell. I have a little scar on my head from one. Just a little guy but it was a grazer. those things cut. mma3dge: jason nice photo. i always hear of people pulling out b/c of a cut and wonder really how bad it is. don't blame him at all for pulling, that shit is nassssttttyyy. mma3dge: this begs the question... who is responsible for this and how pissed off do guys get when training shit like this happens? i mean wouldn't you feel like a piece of shit if you were the guy that did this leading up to his fight? LexTalionis: that cut reminds me of Vitali Kitschko's against Lennox Lewis, i think his was caused by Lewis twisting the glove upon impact though
