Camoes will find little respite on the feet, as his striking lacks the sheen displayed by Uno, who has managed to develop into a capable striker over the course of his lengthy career. All in all, hardly the matchup for which Camoes must have hoped when he received the call from the UFC.
The X-Factor: After he spent the last decade competing against elite competition, one has to wonder just how much Uno has left in the tank. At 34 in a young man’s sport, he has to prove he can do more than just survive every time he steps into the cage, and Camoes will be chomping at the bit for the chance to make him look like an old man.

The Bottom Line: The day will come when Uno can no longer keep up with the next generation of talent, but that day remains off in the distance. He will prove it here by completely outclassing Camoes from bell to bell. Expect Uno’s wrestling and stout grappling to frustrate Camoes at every turn, as the Japanese legend takes home a lopsided decision win.
