Kurtis Campbell ready for a hard day's fight at UFC Paris
Kurtis Campbell really wants a stoppage after a knockout loss in his UFC debut, but he'll go the distance if he has to.
Liverpool native Kurtis Campbell is poised to face Trevor Peek in a featherweight bout at UFC Paris this week. The 24-year-old Campbell, who boasts an 8-1 MMA record, believes the first impression he made during his UFC debut is no longer reflective of his current abilities. His initial UFC appearance saw him defeated by Danny Silva after just 31 seconds of the second round.
However, Campbell is eager to move past that loss and channel his energy towards his upcoming fight. He expressed excitement about returning to the Octagon and making waves in the sport, stating, "I've got a lot to look forward to." Campbell is currently the heavy favorite in the fight, but experts predict a stoppage victory for him.
Despite Peek's recent struggles with back-to-back losses, Campbell remains confident, saying, "If I need 15 minutes, it'll be there." He reiterated his readiness to "show them improvements" as he prepares for the September 5 fight in Paris.
