UFC Fight Night: Condit vs. Kampmann 2—also referred to as UFC Fight Night 27, took place on August 28, 2013, at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The event was aired live on Fox Sports 1.
Background
The headline bout was a rematch involving Martin Kampmann and former Interim Welterweight Champion as well as ex-WEC Welterweight Champion Carlos Condit. Their initial meeting occurred at UFC Fight Night 18 in 2009, where Kampmann secured a victory via split decision.
A fight between UFC newcomers Nandor Guelmino and Derrick Lewis was originally scheduled but later canceled because of an injury sustained by Lewis; Guelmino was subsequently booked to compete at UFC 165.
Bobby Voelker had been slated to face James Head, but was reassigned to battle Robbie Lawler during UFC on Fox 8. Consequently, Jason High stepped in as Voelker’s replacement against Head.
Due to a knee injury, Paulo Thiago withdrew from his bout with Kelvin Gastelum, and Brian Melancon took his place.
Sarah Kaufman was set to compete against Sara McMann, who withdrew citing personal reasons; as a result, Kaufman was removed from the fight card.
Additionally, a flyweight matchup between UFC debutants Dustin Ortiz and Justin Scoggins was taken off the event lineup.
