To welcome Manuel Torres to Octagon
Camacho will return to the Octagon to face Manual Torres in a lightweight matchup at the UFC event scheduled for May 14, CC Legaspi of ESPN Deportes reports.
ANALYSIS
Camacho hasn't fought since June of 2020 due to injuries sustained in a car accident, but he's now set for his eighth official walk to the Octagon, where he'll welcome a Contender Series product in Torres. Camacho was known as a pure brawler prior to his long layoff, as he averaged 6.67 significant strikes landed per minute, but also at a ridiculously high 7.31 significant strikes per minute. That led to just a 2-5 record with the company, although it's worth noting he faced a murderer's row of lightweights that included Beneil Dariush, Geoff Neal and Drew Dober. Still, it could be last call for Camacho if he suffers a third consecutive defeat.

Pulls out of UFC 263 matchup
Camacho is reportedly out of his UFC 263 matchup against Matt Frevola due to undisclosed reasons, Marcel Dorff of MMADNA reports.
ANALYSIS
Camcho and Frevola were initially set to take the Octagon last June, but the fight was ultimately scrapped after one of Frevola's cornermen tested positive for COVID-19. Camacho then got a replacement opponent in Justin Jaynes, but missed weight by two pounds and proceeded to get finished in the first round. He then was forced to pull out of a scheduled matchup against Brok Weaver in September. Details on the situation are sparse, but it's unclear how much more patience the UFC will have with the lightweight fighter.

Taking on Frevola in June
Camacho will take on Matt Frevola in a lightweight bout at UFC 263 on June 12, Marcel Dorff of MMADNA reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be Camacho's first fight since last June when he lost to Justin Jaynes. He's lost four of his past five bouts, so he'll look to turn things around against Matt Frevola, who is coming off a loss of his own to Arman Tsarukyan in Janury.
