Bermudez was intended to battle for the vacated 135 lb. title at Cage Titans 37 before signing with the UFC. Unfortunately, due to a fight week withdrawal from his opponent, Bermudez did not challenge for the title and instead fought Seth Basler on short notice. Campbell retained the belt due to the circumstance.
