Camur on the fight’s key moment
“(It) feels amazing to get my first win in the UFC. I knew he was going to be tough and that it would be a hard-fought battle, but I’m happy. I knew I had done enough to get the job done when they were reading the scorecards. I slowed down a bit, but made sure to finish strong and threw the takedown in at the end there just to be sure.”
Camur on getting experience on DWCS
“It definitely helped coming from (Dana White’s) Contender Series. It’s better than just being thrown straight into the UFC. There was a ton of focus on me there, so it helped ease me into this whole thing. I train with Stipe as much as I can. He’s a huge help for my career. He hits hard, so I know going into fights that these guys aren’t going to hit as hard as he does. He guides me inside and outside of the octagon – not only Stipe, but the whole team at Strong Style.”
Camur on what he wants next
“I knew starting this year off with a win was very important, especially mentally. I’m going to go right back to the gym and keep training and make sure that this is going to be a good year.”
