**UFC Vegas 106: Is Matheus Camilo The Next Big Thing?**
LAS VEGAS – The UFC returns to Las Vegas this Saturday, May 17, 2025, for UFC Vegas 106, headlined by a compelling Welterweight clash between veteran Gilbert Burns and rising star Michael Morales. However, fight fans should keep their eyes peeled on a promising Lightweight making his highly anticipated UFC debut: Matheus “Jaguar” Camilo.
The 24-year-old Brazilian, boasting a 9-2 record and a six-fight win streak, earned his UFC contract after a dominant victory over previously undefeated Dorobshokh Nabotov. Camilo’s striking power and elite grappling skills have drawn comparisons to his former training partner, UFC legend Jose Aldo.
Camilo faces a tough test in his first Octagon appearance against Gabe Green. Green, a veteran of the sport, is making his return to the Lightweight division after a KO loss to Bryan Battle. Despite holding a 2-3 record in the UFC, Green has faced a gauntlet of high-level fighters.
While Green’s experience is sure to challenge the young Brazilian, Camilo’s talent and hunger to finish fights makes him a must-watch prospect.
