You don't have to be very in to mma, to know about the danish UFC fighter Martin Kampmann, but there are many other very good danish fighters.
Denmark does not have a long history of MMA and martial arts are not as common as in USA, Japan or Brazil, so many of the pros are still fighting their way up on the international scene.
There is also quite a lot of talent on the amateur level, but this is only a list of pro danish MMA fighters. I have only included the ones who still fights actively, has a record of more than 1 pro fight and has made an impression. If you have any additions(yourself maybe?) or comments please email me.
Here it goes:
Martin Kampmann (23 - 4 - 0)
Although he took quite a beating from Paul Daley at UFC 103, and went ranking as 5th welterweight in the world to 9th(according to www.sherdog.com/), he considered a very dangerous striker with a solid ground game. After he won decisively over Jacob Volkmann at UFC 108 he is now back in the top of the division and is going to fight Paulo Thiago at UFC 115.
Kenneth Rosfort (13 - 2 - 0)
A lightweight that with his awesome victory over former TUF cast member Jeff Lawson, brought him right up the European MMA top. He has since fought Franco De Leonardis, who is one of Europes best grapplers, who had so much trouble fighting him that he gave up in between rounds.
Kenneth was supposed to fight one of UK top lightweight at Fightergalla 13, but the fight was cancelled due to a volcanic ash cancelling all planes.
