I can't deny that. But keep in mind that Sakara took numerous McFedries shots before Drew was ablt to put him away, it wasn't some three punch and out fight. Cote has a crazy chin and he showed it against Leben, so when people say that Cote better be careful or he'll get ko'ed....I say the same thing for Drew. Otherwise its sweet dreams.

He is a great technical striker (not on andersons level of course) but lacks ko power, no disrespect to him but i think he should focus on a muay thai career

The reason people have pegged Kampmann as someone with no power is because Rogan decided that was the case and kept repeating it during the fight with Leites. That decision was his first in a long time. Kampmann is a finisher and half his finishes come by way of KO/TKO. If you're putting people away with your strikes I really don't see what the problem is.

Also, if his striking is good enough for A-class MT, it sure as hell is good enough for MMA. By the way, Martin is a 'real' MMA fighter who has invested a lot of time in his MMA career. He has a dangerous ground game, excellent TD defence and he has been winning. If he comes back healthy from his injury, he is not going anywhere except to the top of the rankings.
