CALGARY \u2013 Ramil Kamilov only has three professional bouts on his record, but he\u2019s been fighting his whole life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to fight a lot, and martial arts was a tool to help me fight,\u201d says Kamilov, who practiced wrestling and taekwondo as a youngster in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also used to run street fight tournaments before MMA was a big thing, and I\u2019d fight all the older kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Kamilov moved to Canada as a teen, he struggled to fit in, and even found himself on the streets battling homelessness.<\/p>\n

But at the age of 15, he found the Champions Creed MMA academy in Calgary \u2013 and the rest is history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really fell in love with the freedom of MMA. It was very fresh to me, and I really liked it,\u201d Kamilov says. \u201cIt was also very different to be praised for my fighting, whereas before when I fought in Canada, I had the police called on me and I got a $500 ticket for fighting in public.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very different.\u201d<\/p>\n

MMA has since gone from a hobby to a career for Kamilov, whose fourth professional fight is set for Dec. 2 at Unified 47 in Calgary. He\u2019ll try to improve to 4-0 against fellow unbeaten Calgary lightweight Sean Michael (3-0) at the Genesis Centre, LIVE on UFC Fight Pass.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to win convincingly,\u201d Kamilov says when asked about his upcoming fight, adding, \u201cI know I can crush this guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
