After just four fights and no shortage of controversial scorecards, Kai Kamaka is on to another path, as his UFC tenure is no more.

Featherweight prospect Kamaka (8-4-1 MMA, 1-2-1 UFC) last fought on July 31, 2021, in a short-notice bout with Danny Chavez. The fight was scored a majority draw, and would have been a win for The Fighting Hawaiian were it not for a second-round point deduction. This was his third straight winless result under the UFC banner. Previously, he lost an unfortunate split decision on May 1 and lost by knockout on November 28, 2020.

He made his promotional debut on August 15, 2020. The news of his departure from the promotion became public on August 12, 2021, just under a year later. The UFC debut fight came less than three weeks after Kamaka won a decision in the Legacy Fighting Alliance. Upon achieving victory in his UFC debut, Kamaka pushed his winning streak to six straight fights.

In addition to the UFC and the LFA, Kamaka fought for Bellator MMA from 2018 to 2019. He was 2-0 there before moving to the LFA.
