Martin Kampmann has called on Diego Sanchez to give the fans what they want by committing to a rematch.

The pair put on one of the best fights of the year to date at UFC Live on Versus, with Sanchez taking home a controversial points decision. The American was rewarded for showing greater aggression over the final two rounds, but Kampmann undoubtedly suffered far less punishment and showed better technique throughout.

The Dane is still bitter about the loss, despite being given a $160,000 bonus by the UFC, and he wants Sanchez to honour a rematch. At the end of March Kampmann claimed a "five-year-old" could have seen that he won the fight, and still he is not letting the matter drop.

Sanchez recently wrote on his personal Twitter account: "Should I start retweeting all the fans that tweet me that they thought I won the fight the way Martin Kampmann does his? Nah my hand was raised."

Kampmann's response stated: "If you don't want to fight me again I'm sure your face doesn't blame you, but lots of fans want to see round 4, 5 and 6."
