Mateusz Gamrot showcased his dominance in the co-main event of UFC on ESPN 68 on May 31, 2025, defeating Ludovit Klein via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) in Las Vegas. The 34-year-old Polish lightweight controlled the fight with relentless wrestling, securing takedowns and maintaining top position while landing effective ground-and-pound. Despite Klein’s late resistance, Gamrot’s pressure and grappling prowess secured his 25th career win, improving his UFC record to 8–3 and solidifying his #7 ranking in the lightweight division.

With this victory, Gamrot continues to build momentum after wins over Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev, positioning himself as a top contender in a stacked lightweight division. His grappling-heavy style and durability make him a tough matchup for anyone at 155 pounds.

Next up for Mateusz Gamrot should be a lightweight bout against Benoit Saint Denis. Saint Denis, ranked #13, is coming off a submission win over Kyle Prepolec at UFC 315 on May 10, 2025, rebounding from back-to-back losses to Renato Moicano and Dustin Poirier. Known for his aggressive striking and submission skills, Saint Denis offers a high-octane challenge that tests Gamrot’s well-rounded game. This matchup, rumored to be in discussion for a Paris event, would pit Gamrot’s wrestling against Saint Denis’ finishing ability, making it a fan-friendly fight with title implications. A win could position Gamrot for a title eliminator or a shot at the lightweight belt, especially with the division’s landscape shifting after Islam Makhachev’s move to welterweight and the upcoming Ilia Topuria vs. Charles Oliveira title fight at UFC 317.
