UCW 8: "UNDISPUTED" Main Event Announcement - Camp VS. Smith - 145lb Title Fight


The Main Event for UnCivil War 8 "UNDISPUTED" has been officially announced as of July 31st, 2012. The 8th installment of Mixed Martial Arts (or "Cagefighting" as some call it) provided by the Springfield based UCW on August 25th, 2012 at the Howard Johnson Convention Center will feature two of the top 145 pound amateur MMA fighters in the SouthWest Missouri Region.


"The Prince" Christian Camp will defend his UCW LightWeight Championship Title Belt for a second time against the up and coming undefeated Sam "The Assassin" Smith. 


Camp first earned the title at UnCivil War 4 earlier this year on February 25th. Camp's fight against the more seasoned and experienced Hembree was a battle of will's to win. Camp emerged victorious with a submission finish late in the fight via rear naked choke.


To date Camp has only two losses on his record. One of those losses came early in the first round of a bout against Ty Curbow. Camp received a cut over his eye that caused the doctor to stop the fight. Camp wanted the fight to continue and had the fight been a professional bout the fight would likely have continued resulting in a win according to  Camp.


The other blemish on Camp's otherwise pristine record was a loss to one of the top ranked Welterweight fighters in the state, Jeff Escobar, also earlier this year in February.
Camp fought Escobar all the way to a decision in a 5 round war. Ultimately the judges decided in Escobar's favor.


To date, Camp has never been knocked out. He has never been submitted. He has never been finished. Sam "The Assassin" Smith who is undefeated in both Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts says that he has known Camp for years and knows that he can put a stop to Camp's rise to the top.


Smith has come up fast and hard in the UCW making his Amateur MMA Debut in March of this year. In less than six months Sam has secured four victories in the cage and one in the boxing ring. Smith utilizes a street and boxing hybrid fighting style that is hard to predict. Smith predicts that he will be able to take Camp out early in the fight.


There is a lot riding on this fight. Both of these fighters have plans to make the crossover to professional fighting in the near future. One of these fighters will be one step closer to realizing that goal while the other may have to take a step back and work a little harder for the opportunity to become a professional fighter.
