UFC 175: 10 Things To Watch Out For

10. Chris Camozzi Possibly Fighting For His Job

Felipe Dana/AP/Press Association ImagesFelipe Dana/AP/Press Association ImagesChris Camozzi is widely respected in the sport. I'll never forget hearing about him going into "The Ultimate Fighter" season 11 with a broken jaw. That's how badly he wanted the opportunity. Eventually the news leaked and Dana White had to pull him off the show. Camozzi worked his way back to fighting in the UFC and had a 6-2 record at one point. He displayed solid kick-boxing, while being constantly relentless. As his fights went on, his pace picked up and knew how to utilize his reach efficiently. His reach is at 75.5 inches, which benefits him as a smaller middleweight. Unfortunately for him, he fought two enormous middleweights. He took a great opportunity to fight Jacare Souza in Brazil with nothing to lose. He was submitted in a matter of three and half minutes. Then he had to face another freakish middleweight in Lorenz Larkin, who possess powerful body kicks and unbelievable athleticism. It was another fight that he couldn't handle the pressure against a more muscular opponent. Once you hit three losses in a row, you are on the borderline of being cut if you aren't a prominent name. Camozzi needs to come out and impose his will against Bruno Santos to secure his place in the UFC.
