UFC’s Matheus Camilo recalls emotional family moment after signing
UFC lightweight Matheus Camilo speaks to MMA Junkie Radio before his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 256 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Matheus Camilo has officially achieved his dream of becoming a UFC fighter, a moment he always believed would come to fruition.
In December, Camilo secured a UFC contract at ZFN 2 in Goyang, South Korea, during an event promoted by “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung as part of “Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight.”
His victory over Dorobshokh Nabotov, who had famously called out Dana White at a press conference, came via unanimous decision.
Despite facing pressure and skepticism, Camilo trusted in his journey and put on an impressive performance that caught the attention of Dana White.
After the fight, Camilo received a surprise call from Dana White, who offered him a UFC contract, leaving Camilo in disbelief and overwhelmed with emotions.
Camilo’s journey to the UFC was not without challenges, including the tragic loss of his father during the pandemic, which initially led him to consider quitting MMA. However, his mother’s unwavering support and belief in his dreams pushed him to persevere and ultimately fulfill his goal of joining the UFC.
The moment Camilo shared the news of his UFC contract with his mother was a deeply emotional and fulfilling experience for both of them, symbolizing the culmination of years of hard work and dedication.
Now, Camilo is set to make his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 256 in Las Vegas, a moment he describes as feeling grateful and at home in the UFC.
