For Camozzi, winning is absolutely vital. The 27-year-old has dropped three straight pairings under the Zuffa banner since May of 2013. Prior to the losing streak, Camozzi had rallied off four wins in a row, earning him a fight against “Jacare” Souza at UFC on FX “Belfort vs. Rockhold.” He lost via submission, starting on his current slide.
Natal is in the midst of a losing streak of his own, dropping a decision his last time out against Ed Herman at UFC Fight Night “Brown vs. Silva.” Prior to that, “Sapo” was viciously finished by Tim Kennedy at UFC Fight Night “Fight for the Troops 3.”
The Renzo Gracie team member has a (5-4-1) mark in the UFC.
