UFC 103: Swick v. Kampmann All But A Certainty…

From MMAweekly.com:

A welterweight contest between Mike Swick and Martin Kampmann is likely for UFC 103, MMAWeekly.com has learned from sources close to the fight.

While bout agreements have not been signed, both parties have agreed to the match-up.

UFC 103 is expected to take place on Sept. 19 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, the promotion’s second trip to the Lone Star State. The event has yet to be announced by the UFC.

A while ago, we quoted a rumor that stated that Swick would likely fight Matt Hughes in his next bout. Apparently, that was pretty close to the truth, but it just didn’t work out.

“I want the Hughes fight, and we’re trying to work it out, but it doesn’t seem like it’s happening, so it might be Kampmann,” said Swick.

Hughes is in the process of working out a brand new deal, so there likely is some hardball being played on the part of Dana White and the UFC. Swick is 9-1 in the UFC and likely will get a title shot or at the very least a #1 contenders match if he wins.

Kampmann is 6-1 in the UFC and coming off a controversial split decision win over the last WEC welterweight champion, Carlos Condit. He also turned down a chance to fight against T.J. Grant at The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale.

Add this to a card that will already feature Josh Koscheck v. Frank Trigg, Tyson Griffin v. Hermes Franca, and TUF 8 Winner Efrain Escudero v. Cole Miller.
