UFC Veterans Thiago Silva, Chris Camozzi to Meet in Main Event of ACB 88 in Brisbane

A pair of Ultimate Fighting Championship veterans will square off at Absolute Championship Berkut 88 when Thiago Silva locks horns with Chris Camozzi.

The promotion confirmed the bout, which will be contested at light heavyweight, following an initial report from MMAFighting.com. ACB 88 takes place in Brisbane, Australia on June 16 and also includes a 205-pound clash pitting Luke Barnatt against Karol Celinski.

Silva, 35, has gone 2-2 under the ACB banner since 2017. Most recently, the Brazilian dropped a split decision to Mikhail Kolobegov at ACB 82 on March 9. Silva owns a 20-7 career record with two no contests.

Camozzi, who competed at 185 pounds in the UFC, will make his ACB debut on the heels of a three-fight skid within the Las Vegas-based promotion. The Factory X representative compiled a 9-10 record over the course of three separate stints in the Octagon. Camozzi is 24-13 as a professional overall.
