Guram Kutateladze played spoiler at UFC Fight Island 6 as he handed former KSW champion Mateusz Gamrot the first loss of his career in the featured prelim on Saturday night.
Over three rounds, Kutateladze fended off takedowns and battled his way off the ground to stifle a potent grappling attack from Gamrot while displaying a powerful striking game that ultimately helped him earn a split decision win.
Two judges scored the fight 29-28 for Kutateladze with the third official giving the fight to Gamrot by the same 29-28 score. Despite the win, Kutateladze was in no mood to celebrate after he was unable to perform up to his full abilities.
