Uno-Camoes Set for UFC 106
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
by Tony Loiseleur (tloiseleur@sherdog.com)

TOKYO -- Caol Uno is set to face Fabricio “Morango” Camoes at UFC 106 on Nov. 21 in Las Vegas, the Japanese lightweight announced Tuesday during a news conference for the UFC’s “Undisputed” video game release.

Uno, who vied for the UFC’s lightweight championship in 2001 and 2003, returned to the promotion at UFC 99 on June 6 in Cologne, Germany, where he dropped a unanimous decision to Spencer Fisher.

Prior to that, the Shooto legend had a respectable stint in K-1 Hero’s, going 7-4 for the promotion. A victory against Mitsuhiro Ishida propelled Uno into Dream’s lightweight grand prix in 2008, where he was eliminated by recently minted champion Shinya Aoki.

Camoes, a veteran of the now defunct Meca promotion, fought two times on Showtime under the ShoXC banner, earning victories over Sam Morgan and Joe Camacho. Camoes submitted Torrance Taylor at Strikeforce Challengers 1 on May 15 in Fresno, Calif.

A jiu-jitsu black belt under Royler Gracie, Camoes teaches in San Diego, Calif.
