William Campuzano (born May 27, 1986) is a Mexican-American professional mixed martial artist currently competing in the Bantamweight division. A professional competitor since 2008, Campuzano has also formerly competed for the UFC, WEC, Vale Tudo Japan, and Legacy FC.
Campuzano found his way into the world of mixed martial arts while attending college. "I used to fight a lot, like out on the street. When I was in college ... I took a Tae Kwon Do course where I met Tom Seabourne. He introduced me to Marcus Lanier who was a professional MMA fighter. He was looking for an assistant that could speak Spanish. He had just opened up his own school in Mount Pleasant. And that got me into MMA."
Campuzano won the first six fights of his mixed martial arts career, all by stoppage.
He made his WEC debut as a short-notice replacement against Damacio Page at WEC 43, filling in for an injured Akitoshi Tamura. Page submitted Campuzano in the first round.
In his next fight, Campuzano defeated Coty Wheeler on January 10, 2010 at WEC 46 via unanimous decision. The bout earned the Fight of the Night award.
Campuzano was expected to face Rafael Rebello on June 20, 2010 at WEC 49, but instead faced former WEC Bantamweight Champion Eddie Wineland. He lost the fight via TKO in the second round.
In October 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC. Campuzano faced Nick Pace on December 4, 2010 at The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck Finale. The fight was supposed to be the first bantamweight bout in UFC history, but Pace missed weight and the fight was changed to a catchweight bout. Campuzano lost the fight due to a pillory choke at 4:32 of round 3.
