His career highlights include notable wins in Bellator and the Professional Fighters League.

Prior to UFC 300 on April 13, 2024, Kamaka amassed a 12-5-1 record. He has won four of his last five fights, starting with a decision over John de Jesus before dropping a split decision to Justin Gonzales.
