KAI KAMAKA III

The American fighter Kai Kamaka III represents Xtreme Couture, utilizing a foundation built during his collegiate wrestling tenure at Midland University. He has navigated various organizations throughout his professional career, including stints in Bellator MMA and the PFL, where he advanced to the featherweight tournament semifinals in 2024. Competitively, he has tested himself across both the featherweight and lightweight weight classes. His previous tenure with the UFC earned him a Fight of the Night bonus before he eventually secured a new contract with the promotion in 2026.

Holding an overall professional record of 18-8-1, Kamaka enters this upcoming bout following a mixed sequence of results. His most recent appearance ended in a TKO loss against Luke Riley this past July. Prior to that setback, he achieved consecutive victories, winning a split decision over Dakota Hope and knocking out Michel da Cruz Lima. His form in late 2025 included a narrow split decision defeat to Diego Brandão following a unanimous decision win against Sitik Muduev in June of that same year.
