UFC Fight Night 256 video: Gabe Green spoils Matheus Camilo's debut with slam, choke
UFC Fight Night 256 video: Gabe Green spoils Matheus Camilo's debut with slam, choke Matheus Camilo entered his UFC debut with a lot of buzz, but Gabe Green wasn't fazed. At UFC Fight Night 256 on Saturday, Green (12-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC) submitted Camilo (9-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with a rear-naked choke at 3:43 of Round 2. The lightweight bout was the featured prelim at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Camilo had a successful first round and appeared to be on his way to finishing the fight when he locked in a triangle choke off his back. The lock appeared to be tight. As Green strained, he elevated Camilo and slammed him down. The impact resulted in Camilo's release of the submission attempt. Camilo rolled and gave up his back. Green gladly took it and landed some punches from that position. Eventually, Green locked in the rear-naked choke and got the tap. Green, 32, had not competed in two years and was coming off back-to-back losses. The fight was his divisional debut after five UFC appearances at welterweight. His UFC losses have come against Daniel Rodriguez, Ian Machado Garry, and Bryan Battle. Camilo, 24, was signed on a recent episode of "Dana White: Lookin' for a Fight." The defeat snapped a six-fight winning streak for the Xtreme Couture product. Up-to-the-minute UFC Fight Night 256 results

Matheus Camilo recounts moment Dana White offered him UFC contract
Matheus Camilo recounts moment Dana White offered him UFC contract Show Caption Hide Caption UFC's Matheus Camilo recalls emotional family moment after signing UFC lightweight Matheus Camilo speaks to MMA Junkie Radio before his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 256 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Matheus Camilo always felt it would happen, but now he can officially call himself a UFC fighter. In December, he earned himself a UFC deal at ZFN 2 in Goyang, South Korea – an event promoted by "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung for "Dana White: Lookin' for a Fight." He fought Dorobshokh Nabotov, a fighter who infamously asked Dana White for a shot at a press conference. Camilo (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) won by unanimous decision. "I know God wrote my story already," Camilo recently told MMA Junkie Radio. "When they offered me this fight, I just said yes. I went to Korea and I knew all the media and all the guys went for this guy, for (Dorobshokh) Nabotov. I don't take this pressure for me. I know this fight is for me and already made for me. We fought and I won and I impressed Dana White. I was so happy for that he liked because I fought against a wrestler. The guy was very tough. I defended his takedowns. I stood up with him. I struck with him. I did my best inside the cage that night. I believe that God already wrote my story. He's already made it." Camilo was initially disappointed that the performance was a bit wrestle-heavy due to his opponent's approach. But the self-criticism quickly evaporated when "Korean Zombie" told him the UFC CEO wanted to have a video call with him after the fight. "I got so happy, but I didn't know what was going on, if he's just going to say, 'Oh, you did a great fight. But you're young.' I didn't know what was going on," Camilo said. "In the end, I went to the little room. Dana White was there on the FaceTime. I was so happy just to see him and talk with him. He told me about the UFC contract and I didn't believe it. I was in shock. A lot of emotions, a lot of feelings." There were a lot of emotions flowing through Camilo, particularly considering his backstory and relationship with his family. When his father died during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Camilo decided to quit his MMA journey – but his mother would not let that happen. He went full-fledged into MMA and moved to the United States to train at Xtreme Couture, not seeing his family for years at a time. Getting to tell his mother it was finally worth it was a moment Camilo will cherish forever. "I wanted to do that surprise for her and she got so emotional, so emotional," Camilo said. "To answer your question, after my fight in Korea and everything and I knew I was already in the UFC, I called my mom inside the event. She was crying a lot. Five years ago when my father passed, I wanted to give up. I didn't want to fight any more. I wanted to work. I wanted to do another thing to change our lives because my father was the provider for our house. When he died, everything changed. It was going to be a hard life for us. I told my mom I wanted to give up. I wanted to work. I wanted to study. "She told me, she came to me and said, 'No, you're going to keep following your dreams, go back to Rio de Janeiro, follow your dreams. Because that's your dream and your father's dream.' That day in the event, I called her and she was crying. I told her, 'Mom, this is for you, and thank you because you never let me give up. This is for you. She got so emotional – so emotional." Saturday, Camilo (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC makes his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 256 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't on Cloud 9. "The feeling is so grateful," Camilo said. "That feeling right now and always, I'm feeling so grateful to be a UFC fighter. It's very different. You feel good. You feel at home."

Here's UFC Vegas 106's Must-Watch Prospect This Weekend
Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC Keep your eyes on this Lightweight ... Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to 'Sin City' this weekend (Sat., May 17, 2025) for UFC Vegas 106. In the main event, former UFC Welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns tries to slow the oncoming young force, Michael Morales, in the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Advertisement Check out the entire UFC Vegas 106 card here. There are several up-and-coming fighters featured throughout the card this weekend, but let's give you one to really keep your eyes on. Without further ado ... UFC Fighter Portraits Almost two years to the day, I kicked off Prospect Watch, and the first regional stud I hyped was Brazil's Matheus Camilo. Now, he's stepping into the UFC Octagon for the first time this weekend. Camilo (9-2) snagged a UFC contract late last year by smashing Tajikistan's then-unbeaten Dorobshokh Nabotov. Nabotov tried stealing the show with a bold plea to UFC CEO Dana White at UFC 308's presser, but Camilo's win crushed that 'feel-good story.' Advertisement He cut his teeth at Brazil's legendary Nova Uniao under Andre Pederneiras, training beside former UFC Featherweight champ Jose Aldo—pretty solid company, and a legit comparison in some ways. Now, he's set up shop in Vegas at Xtreme Couture. At just 24 years old, Camilo is really good and talented everywhere. He has nasty power even as a relatively new Lightweight and has elite grappling. What makes him so fun to watch is that he is always looking to finish his fights but smart enough not to force it if it isn't there—which again, at just 24, is good to see. 'Jaguar' has a tendency to ease into fights, but he cranks it up as things unfold, blasting opponents with nasty calf kicks that leave them limping before taking over. Rocking a six-fight win streak with four finishes, Camilo has a ton of momentum. But the UFC matchmakers aren't going easy, throwing him a real test to see what this kid's got. Advertisement Camilo is up against Gabe Green, who's been on the shelf since Bryan Battle smoked him in 14 seconds (watch highlights). Green is returning to Lightweight, a weight he's fought at pre-UFC. He's 2-3 in the Octagon, but those losses were to studs like Battle, Ian Garry, and Daniel Rodriguez (on short notice). He's got wins over Phil Rowe and Yohan Lainesse, plus pre-UFC scraps with Chris Padilla, Jalin Turner, and Javier Garcia. So, it is very safe to say Green is battle-tested. While it may be too much, too soon for the 24-year-old Brazilian to get past Green this weekend, he has all of the skills to do it violently. will deliver LIVE round-by-round, blow-by-blow coverage of the entire UFC Vegas 106 fight card RIGHT HERE, starting with the ESPN+ 'Prelims' undercard bouts at 4 p.m. ET, followed by the remaining main card balance (also streaming on ESPN+) at 7 p.m. ET.
