Though injury may have cost him a chance at an undefeated year in 2014 as he went 2-1, overall Bellator lightweight Derek Campos feels like he made positive strides in his career.
“Looking at last year I’ve grown to being in a different place mentally, physically, and emotionally,” Campos told MMAWeekly.com. “I’m looking at my career in the long run. In the time I think I have left, it’s do or die, because I want to be a champion and leave a legacy as a champion.”
Campos’ urgency comes from the fact that winning a major promotional championship is his top goal and at the level he is at now, the opportunity is as close as it has ever been.
