Just moments after Aleksa Camur finished his opponent on the Contender Series this past summer, his teammate and heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic immediately called UFC president Dana White telling him to sign the 24-year-old prospect from Ohio.
In reality, Miocic’s plea probably wasn’t even necessary considering Camur strutted into the fight with a perfect 4-0 record with four knockouts and he capped that off with a fifth straight KO — this time with a flying knee and a barrage of punches on the ground.
This weekend at UFC 246, Camur makes his official Octagon debut as the featured fight on the early prelims where he faces Justin Ledet with another chance to shine under the spotlight.
