Caol Uno vs. Fabricio Camoes prelim bout completes UFC 106 fight card

  • Print

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.

The full "UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin II" lineup now includes:

  • Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz

    I'm curious to see how Baroni performs at his advanced (for MMA) age. This is a pretty solid card top to bottom; I'd like to see the UFC air the whole thing for $50 though.

    Agreed, this card has potential to be pretty cool, but not cool enough for $50. Zuffa should really make it either a freebie on Spike, or discount the price to like $25, and DEFINITELY refund some money for the poor fans that paid a couple GRAND per ticket to see Lesnar fight, and now they get this because "card subject to change." I didn't buy a ticket (thank god!), but I feel for those people that did. I had a ticket to Affliction: Trilogy, and when it went down they refunded my money within days.

    This might set the record for lowest amount of PPV buys.

    Gotta say I'm kinda interested in the Dustin vs. Karo
    Match that should be some awesome grappling.
