Motta, who was previously linked to a battle with Jim Miller, went from potentially facing the most experienced fighter on the roster to a fellow newcomer in VanCamp. The man nicknamed “Iron Motta” had racked up three wins since a knockout defeat to Robert Hale in 2018, with a one-punch demolition of Cesar Balmaceda catapulting him into Cage Fury Fighting Championships title contention. After winning the belt against Juan Gonzalez, Motta was picked for the 2020 season of Dana White's Contender Series, and a victory against Joseph Lowry led to his signing.
VanCamp, a submission artist by trade, did not rise up through DWCS or a standard feeder league to get his call up to the major stage. Instead, four regional wins including three consecutive submissions earned him a short-notice opportunity against Motta. In his career that started in 2014, the Indiana native sometimes known as “The Invader” posts a finish rate of 87 percent, with nine of his last 10 victories coming inside the distance.
UFC Fight Night 192 will trudge on with 14 fights, going down inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Sept. 18. The headliner comes at light heavyweight between ex-title challenger Anthony Smith and rising star Ryan Spann. The co-main event also is a 205-pound battle, when Ion Cutelaba comes to blows with Devin Clark.
