Team Bison fighter Sammy Morgan started the fight quickly with several low kicks to the legs of Brazilian Fabricio Camoes. Before he could get anything else going Camoes (9-4) had Morgan to the ground and mounted. Morgan quickly turned to his back and it took Camoes little time to secure the rear naked choke and the submission victory just 47 seconds into the first round.
Morgan (19-11) has lost three straight fights, but all have been to top fighters (Cung Le, Paul Daley and Camoes).
A winner of five straight fights, Camoes (9-4) called on EliteXC to give him a title shot.
“Where’s the big boys?” said Camoes. “I want a belt. I know there are a lot of tough guys in my weight class, but I came here to challenge.”

Morgan to fight on ShoXC
Minneapolis welterweight Sammy Morgan will make his second appearance for EliteXC on Friday when he faces Brazilian Fabricio Camoes (8-4) at ShoXC 7 live on Showtime. Morgan (19-10) lost his debut for the ProElite promotion at the January 25 ShoXC 4 card against top contender Paul Daley.
Camoes won his debut for EliteXC at ShoXC 6 on April 25, defeating current King Of The Cage Jr. Welterweight (160 lbs.) champion Joe Camacho.
The 27-year old Morgan, who trains with Team Bison, is looking to snap a 2-fight losing streak. Morgan lost to current Strikeforce Middleweight champion Cung Le on November 16, 2007. He has fought other well known fighters such as Forrest Petz, Shannon Ritch, Josh Burkman, Duane Ludwig, Manny Gamburyan, and Aaron Riley.
Be sure to tune into Showtime on Friday night at 10 PM.
