Background
Born in Bosnia to a Serb family, his family moved to the U.S. when he was 2.[2] After hearing off the success a local gym had in producing talented fighters like Stipe Miocic and Jessica Eye, at the age of 16, Camur decided to go to Strong Style MMA to take some classes. He went on to win three Golden Gloves titles in Ohio.[3][4][5]
