Caol Uno vs. Fabricio Camoes prelim bout completes UFC 106 fight card
A bout between veteran Caol Uno (25-12-4 MMA, 3-4-1 UFC) and Brazilian lightweight Fabricio Camoes (10-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is now official and completes the fight card for UFC 106.
The matchup is part of the event's un-aired preliminary card.
UFC 106 takes place Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, and the night's main card, including the main event of Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz, airs on pay-per-view.
The UFC recently unveiled all of the night's matchups except for the Uno vs. Camoes bout.
A 13-year professional veteran, Uno looks to rebound from back-to-back losses for the first time in his career. Uno dropped a unanimous decision to Spencer Fisher at UFC 99 in June, and prior, a unanimous decision to Shinya Aoki in a July 2008 DREAM event. The 34-year-old Uno, who was once one of the UFC's top lightweight contenders, seeks his first win in the octagon since a UFC 39 decision victory over Din Thomas in September 2002.
After opening his career just 3-4, Camoes has reeled off seven consecutive wins, six of which have come via submission. Camoes fought once under the Strikeforce banner and earned a submission win over Torrance Taylor at May's "Strikeforce Challengers" event, and he also competed in EliteXC's "ShoXC" series, where he went 2-0. He now makes his debut with the UFC.
