UFC lightweight contenders Arman Tsarukyan and Mateusz Gamrot will battle to see who will take the next step in the division.
Tsarukyan is hoping to get a big-name opponent with a win over Gamrot. He has called out Tony Ferguson and Dan Hooker in the past but never got to fight them.
Tsarukyan is also on a five-fight win streak, and his only loss in the UFC was against Islam Makhachev at UFC St. Peterburg on Apr. 20, 2019. Ranked 11th in the lightweight division, it will be tough to deny Tsarukyan a big fight if he defeats Gamrot.
Gamrot is looking to continue his rise in the lightweight rankings with a win on Saturday. The “Gamer” came into the UFC with hype and undefeated with 17 wins. However, he lost his debut against Guram Kutateladze by split decision at UFC on ESPN+ 38 on Oct. 17, 2020.
Gamrot rebounded from his loss by winning his last three fights. An impressive win over Tsarukyan could put Gamrot in the division’s top ten.
