5 Things You Might Not Know About Mateusz Gamrot

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.
