This appearance marks Campbell's second fight within the promotion following his debut in March, where he suffered a TKO loss to Danny Silva. The 24-year-old fighter, who rose through the amateur ranks in Liverpool and won a contract on Dana White's Contender Series last September, began training in Muay Thai at age seven to address bullying. He now aims to rebound from his first defeat in over seven years. Campbell intends to continue his career progression as he seeks to build his professional legacy in the UFC.
