Neither fighter is currently ranked at middleweight on the USA Today/BE Consensus Rankings. It would take a nice run of wins before either would even be considered for the list, to be honest. This middleweight UFC 137 fight will be on the preliminary card, which will be streamed live on Facebook. The Facebook stream begins at approximately 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
How do these two stack up?
Camozzi: 24 years old | 6'3" | 75.5" reach
Carmont: 30 years old | 6'3" | Unknown reach
What have these two done recently?
Camozzi: W - Joey Villasenor (SD) | L - Kyle Noke (SUB) | W - Dongi Yang (SD)
Carmont: W - Jason Day (TKO) | W - Kelly Anundson (SUB) | W - Simon Carlsen (TKO)
How did these two get here?
Chris "Kamikaze" Camozzi had 15 pro fights, including a stint in the MFC, before he was selected for season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter. He won his prelim fight, but had his jaw broken in the process and that saw him leave the show early. He picked up a win at the TUF 11 Finale, then defeated Dongi Yang by super-close split decision at UFC 121. He was then submitted quickly by Kyle Noke at UFC 127, and inexplicably released from the promotion. He earned his way back in with a split-decision win over Joey Villasenor at Shark Fights 15 that was initially ruled a draw, but the scores were read wrong. He'll look to stay with the promotion for a longer stint this time by defeating Carmont.
Francis "Limitless" Carmont is a native of France that made his name in Europe as a talented-but-inconsistent light-heavyweight. He trains at Tri-Star Gym and is a teammate of UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre. He is currently on a five-fight winning streak, and finished all five of those opponents. In fact, he's finished 14 of his 16 victories. This will be his middleweight debut.
Why should you care?
Both of these guys are surprisingly well-rounded, but I expect a slugfest on the feet here. Both are very tough to finish with strikes, so it could be quite the battle.
