Purple Tribe

MMA Fighter

Used to fighting for what he wants, MMA fighter Cameron says he’s here to win the biggest battle of them all.

“I'm coming to this beach, and I'm playing Survivor to prove a lot to myself that I can overcome any obstacle, any challenge that comes my way. I'll be ready, I'll be present, and I'll overcome it.”

Born in North London, Cameron immigrated to Australia at the age of 11 with his mum, moving into a large house with his extended family which included five cousins.

A risk taker by nature, and described by friends as funny, loyal, cheeky and fearless he admits his number one strength in the game will be his social ability.

“I will be able to talk with anybody, make anyone feel comfortable and really make people trust me.”

Alongside his passion for mixed martial arts, Cameron, 26, is also a youth worker, working hard to build trust with students exploring their emotional and mental wellbeing.

“I’ve made it my mission to see young people for their value and for their worth, rather than the stories that they tell themselves.”

Used to putting his body on the line, Cameron is seeking redemption after his losses as a fighter.

“I'm redeeming myself by winning the ultimate fight, the hardest fight there is, the biggest fight there is.”
