2021 PFL Light Heavyweight Chris Camozzi: New Beginnings
It’s never too late for a fresh start.
UFC veteran Chris Camozzi spent a chunk of 2020 outside of a formal training environment. It was a step or step back, to be more accurate that he needed in order to get going in the right direction.
Camozzi’s storied career now spans a decade and a half. He made his pro debut when he was 19 years old and went 12-3 through his first 15 outings. He eventually made it onto
The Ultimate Fighter in the show’s 11th season. He was only 23 years old at the time, and while he won his fight to get into the house, an injury prevented any further advancement. Camozzi didn’t get to go through the TUF season, but a win on the show’s finale event was enough to secure a UFC roster spot.
Ninjas were legendary warriors whose stories have grown taller and taller as time marches on. They were traditionally known as
shinobi. The
shinobi officially appeared in the 15th century, but their predecessors could’ve existed as early as the 12th century. They were spies, mercenaries and assassins.
Assassins, also known as
hashshashin, and formally known as Nizaris, predate the ninjas by at least 1,000 years. It’s quite possible that the stories of the Persian warriors and assassinations migrated to Japan. Either way, the assassin and ninja ways are similar: get in and get out, hopefully while taking no damage.
They liked to make their kills in public, swift and lethal, to send a message to their enemies that no one was safe, no matter where they were or how many soldiers guarded them. They became adept at studying their prey, assimilating, and striking without warning. While it was a violent end, it was also a way to wage war with the barest minimum of bloodshed.
