Frank “The Crank” Camacho (22-8 MMA, 2-4 UFC)

Lightweight (155lbs): 2-1 (UFC), Missed weight one time

Welterweight (170lbs): 0-3 (UFC), Competitor on The Ultimate Fighter Season 16

Frank Camacho’s first action in the UFC was technically on The Ultimate Fighter Season 16 where he competed in one exhibition match against Neil Magny. Unfortunately, Frank would lose this bout and would go on to fight in smaller promotions outside the UFC for the next few years. When Frank finally made his UFC debut in 2017, he again fought at welterweight and again, was defeated. In Frank’s sophomore UFC fight he made his debut at lightweight but weighed in at 160lbs. Though Camacho’s fight against Damien Brown was a barn burner and won the fight of the night honors, Camacho did miss weight and ultimately missed out on half of his bonus due to the missed weight the day prior. Frank stands at 5’10” tall and has a 73″ reach.

Frank would continue to bounce back and forth between lightweight and welterweight but he still has yet to win a welterweight bout in the UFC. Camacho’s last time in the octagon was last October, against Beneil Dariush and it was actually his first loss at lightweight in the UFC. This time out at UFC on ESPN 11, it’s lightweight again.
