Ricky Simon gets biggest opportunity of career at LFA 29 vs. UFC vet Chico Camus

The vacant bantamweight title is on the line tonight at LFA 29 in Minnesota, and both fighters hope a win means they’ll get a quick call from the UFC.

Former UFC flyweight Chico Camus (18-7) takes on fast-rising prospect Ricky Simon (10-1) in the LFA 29 main event at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minn. The main card airs on AXS TV.

Simon already has had just the smallest taste of the UFC when he picked up a split-decision win over Donovan Frelow at Dana White’s Contender Series 5 in August. But that victory wasn’t enough to get him the call from the UFC president to fight in the big show.

A win over an eight-fight UFC veteran like Camus, however, just might do it – especially if he has an LFA title around his waist.
