“I definitely wanted to get back earlier,” he said. “I believe shortly after the Universal trip, I started getting back into training and everything was good. I got an injury that put me out for a few months, which was upsetting, but we worked it back – I had to rehab it pretty good and I got in contact with some good people that are good with recovery stuff and I was able to get back into training and now we got this one. I gotta be grateful for what I have now, and I’m trying to keep the past behind me with injuries and what not and live in the present.”
In this new present (and future), Camur’s goals are clear: fight, fight and fight some more.

“I would love to be super active,” he said. “In a perfect world, I’m sure everybody would. I see myself as a Cowboy (Cerrone) type of fighter. I’d like to get to the point where I’m fighting multiple times a year. When I turned pro on the local circuit, I think I had a total of four fights in a year. It was a lot but I’d like to have that, especially in the UFC. I want to get as much cage experience as possible and I see myself as one of those fighters that want to be constantly rotating into the fight cards and constantly getting fights, getting cage time, and entertaining the people.”
That would be Cerrone-esque. More importantly, as he learns on the job at the highest level of the game, the more he fights, the better he’ll get, and that’s the point. That is a double-edged sword, though, because if he gets in four fights in the next 12 months in a wide open light heavyweight division and wins all of them, he could be in the top ten and talking about a title bout by this time next year. That’s a heady proposition for anyone.
