Kurtis Campbell bought into the UFC with an 80-second knockout win on DWCS about 13 months in the past. However his UFC debut in entrance of his home-country followers in London in March went sideways. Danny Silva starched him with a proper hand and put him out 31 seconds into the second spherical.
However Campbell hopes he can fade the reminiscence of that loss for himself and everybody else when he returns this week at UFC Struggle Night time 287. The 24-year-old Campbell (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) takes on Trevor Peek (9-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) in a featherweight struggle on the primary card.
"I can't wait. It's going to be superb to get that first (UFC) win beneath the belt, and from there work towards persevering with that streak and make waves on this sport," Campbell advised the UFC this week. "I've bought quite a bit to sit up for. On the finish of day, that is my job and I thrive beneath that stress. I can't wait to do it.
"Kurtis Campbell isn't only one struggle. That is the subsequent struggle, and I'm going to indicate who I’m. Only one little hiccup within the street means nothing to me."
Campbell is a heavy 4-1 betting favourite within the struggle. Solely French headliner Salahdine Parnasse is an even bigger favourite on the window.
Peek has misplaced back-to-back fights and three of his previous 4, however all 4 of these fights have gone the space. Nonetheless, the specialists assume the probably method the struggle ends is with a Campbell stoppage.
"If I want quarter-hour, it'll be there. However when that end comes, I'll be taking it with each palms," Campbell stated.
