Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Camozzi fought former Ultimate Fighter competitor Jesse Taylor for the King of Champions Middleweight title.[2] After three rounds, the judges declared Taylor the winner, giving him the title.

The Ultimate Fighter

Camozzi then signed to take part in the eleventh season of the Ultimate Fighter. Camozzi's preliminary fight to get into the house was against Victor O'Donnell. After three hard-fought rounds between the two of them, Camozzi was declared the winner. However, the damage to both competitors was noticeable, with O'Donnell walking away with a severely fractured orbital bone and Camozzi entering the house with a broken jaw.

This damage to Camozzi proved to be the end of his run on the show, as during the third episode of the season, Dana White informed Camozzi that he had to withdraw due to his injury. Seth Baczynski stepped in as Camozzi's replacement.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Though Camozzi was removed from the show, he fought at the The Ultimate Fighter: Team Liddell vs. Team Ortiz Finale against James Hammortree.[3] Camozzi won by unanimous decision (29–28, 30–27, 30–27).

Camozzi's next fight was at UFC 121 against UFC newcomer Dong Yi Yang. Yang began the fight with a successful takedown, followed by ground-and-pound. After standing up, Camozzi was able to keep Yang at bay with kicks, before engaging in the clinch. However, Yang's thick neck and shoulders prevented effective attacks. Later, Camozzi was able to effectively time the advance of Yang. In the third, Yang began to swing wildly, to no avail. Camozzi was declared the winner via split decision (29–28, 28–29, 29–28).[4]

Camozzi faced off against Kyle Noke on February 27, 2011 at UFC 127, losing via rear naked choke in the first round and was subsequently released from the promotion.[5]

Shark Fights

Following his release from the UFC, Camozzi faced Joey Villaseñor at Shark Fights 15. The fight was initially ruled a draw, but was subsequently overturned and counted as a split decision win for Camozzi by the New Mexico Athletic Commission when it was revealed one of the judges scores was added incorrectly.[6]

Return to the UFC

It was announced on Monday, 12 September that Camozzi had re-signed with the UFC.[7] He faced UFC newcomer Francis Carmont at UFC 137, After a back and forth fight, Camozzi lost via unanimous decision.
