Frank Camacho vs. Manuel Roberto Torres
BETTING PREVIEW | SCOUTING REPORT | ODDS: Torres (-130), Camacho (+110)

Round 1
Camacho and Torres waste no time in slinging punches as referee Herb Dean gets out of their way. Camacho briefly looks for a takedown, but otherwise there’s nothing but fists flying for a solid minute. Camacho lands a stinging jab but eats a right-hand counter from the Mexican. Camacho runs Torres into the fence and drives a knee up the middle. They disengage and meet in the center of the Octagon. Torres lands a big rear hand uppercut that rocks Camacho. Sensing he has his man hurt, Torres pursues with punches. Camacho appears to be recovering, throwing back, when Torres slips a punch and lands a blistering left-right combo that drops Camacho to his seat in a daze. Referee Dean rushes in for the stop, and Manuel Torres has made his UFC debut in scintillating fashion.

The Official Result
Manuel Roberto Torres def. Frank Camacho R1 3:27 via TKO (Punches)
Expert Picks (2)
CO
Cody Saftic Expert Hesitant picked May 11, 2022 (3 days before fight)
Frank Camacho

Cody picks Camacho but with very low confidence. He notes Camacho has more experience, a BJJ black belt, and looks in great shape on social media after a year off. However, he acknowledges Camacho's recent loss to Justin James and fight pullouts. He says there's not a shred of confidence in the selection.

"for the purpose of the show i'll say frank camacho but there's like basically not a shred of confidence in that selection"
PA
Paul Shaughnessy Expert picked May 11, 2022 (3 days before fight)
No clear pick

Paul is undecided, calling it a 50-50 stay-away fight. He notes there's not enough footage on Torres and Camacho's last performance was poor. He mentions the line is close and he doesn't have enough confidence to pick either side.

"this is kind of one of these 50 50 stay away type fights as far as i'm concerned"

Big Brady Expert Hesitant picked Jun 17, 2020 (3 days before fight)
Frank Camacho

The MMA Guru Expert Confident picked Jun 14, 2020 (6 days before fight)
No clear pick

Frevola is a better fighter than Camacho, who has been through wars and found his limit. Frevola's grinding style will be favored by the smaller cage. He will win by decision.

Frank Camacho vs. Beneil Dariush

Round 1
Two fighters who rarely take a back step are coming head-to-head next, as Kings MMA standout Dariush (16-4-1, 10-4-1 UFC) comes up against the always-exciting Camacho (22-7, 2-3 UFC). The referee for this lightweight contest is Kevin Sataki. There is a touch of gloves, and Dariush is the first to strike, as he throws up a head kick that Camacho blocks. Dariush steps in with a knee, and then backs away to land several kicks to the leg and body. The American leaps in the air with a superman punch and tags Camacho right on the chin, but the ever-durable Camacho walks through it. Dariush starts to work the body heavily, mixing in several body kicks with punches. Just as Camacho is prepared to counter, Dariush takes Camacho down. "The Crank" pops back to his feet, but Dariush gets him down again and takes his back.
From there, Dariush locks in a rear-naked choke, and the squeeze is incredibly tight. Although Camacho tries to hang tough, he has no choice but to tap out or get put to sleep.
Making short work of Camacho, it is the first time that Dariush has strung together consecutive submission victories in his career.
