Now nine bouts deep into his Ultimate Fighting Championship tenure, Mateusz Gamrot still finds himself on the periphery of title contention in the fiercely competitive lightweight division.
The 33-year-old Pole will try to maintain his current position at 155 pounds when he locks horns with City Kickboxing mainstay Dan Hooker in a featured UFC 305 attraction this Saturday at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. Gamrot owns a 7-2 record in the organization and enters the Octagon on the strength of a three-fight winning streak. He last suited up at UFC 299, where he executed 11 takedowns, piled up more than seven minutes of control time and took a unanimous decision from former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos in their three-round pairing on March 9.
