Injuries and visa issues have delayed Cameron Else from getting his first UFC win, but the former paratrooper will finally get that opportunity this weekend.
Else made his UFC debut on seven days notice in 2020 against top prospect Kyler Philips, but lost the fight by stoppage. After an injury prevented him from fighting last year, Else fights Aoriqileng on the preliminary card of UFC Vegas 52 on Saturday night.
It's been a turbulent journey for the Margate-based Else since he was medically discharged from the army over a decade ago. 'Camchida' told Mirror Fighting about his days as a paratrooper and how MMA saved him from a troubled lifestyle.
