Mateusz Gamrot

Former two-weight KSW champion, Mateusz Gamrot has scored his third UFC victory and third finish to boot, forcing a second round verbal submission from the #12 ranked lightweight, Diego Ferreira, after landing a seemingly debilitating knee during a grappling scramble.

The Poznan native attempted to utilise his notable wrestling and offensive grappling ability against Fortis MMA staple, Ferreira throughout the two round affair, and appeared to land an ultimately fight altering knee to the body during a second round grappling scamble.

Taking Ferreira’s back at the Octagon fence, Gamrot shot forward with a knee to the side of Ferreira, which immediately drew a reaction from the Brazilian who signalled to referee, Jason Herzog that he was no longer able to continue.

Following the victory, Gamrot, who added Ferreira to a winning run which includes a pair of stoppage wins over both Scott Holtzman, and the veteran, Jeremy Stephens, called for a showdown with one-time undisputed lightweight title challenger, Michael Chandler next year.

Below, catch the highlights from Mateusz Gamrot’s stoppage win over Diego Ferreira.

Former two-weight KSW champion, Mateusz ‘Gamer’ Gamrot is off the mark in the UFC — via an impressive second round knockout win over division mainstay, Scott ‘Hot Sauce’ Holtzman on the preliminary section of UFC Vegas 23.

Dropping his first professional loss last year on ‘Fight Island’ — the Pole suffered a competitive decision loss to Georgian standout, Guram Kutateladze.

Utisling his forward pressure and even scoring a breif takedown in the opening round via a transition from single-leg to a double variant, Gamrot got the attention of Holtzman, clipping him just above the ear despite some verbal disagreements from the latter.

Setting up the finish in the opening minute of the second, Gamrot, now under the tutelage of Mike Brown at American Top Team for the last three months, dropped Holtzman with a one-two combination before swarming with ground strikes. Timely and correct stoppage from Jason Herzog.

Below, catch the highlights from Gamrot’s first promotional win against Holtzman.

KSW 54 went down today (Sat., Aug 29) with one of the promotion’s most prominent stars Mateusz Gamrot defending his lightweight title in the main event.

It was a quick turn around for the 29-year-old, who also fought on the main event of KSW 53. Gamrot has been angling for a move to the UFC, and today’s fight was the last on his KSW contract.

Facing off against compatriot Marian Ziolkowski, after his initial opponent Shamil Musaev withdrew from the bout following an injury, Gamrot was just too good for his game but outmatched opponent. Ziolkowski did his best to make a fight out of the contest and did manage to last the distance. However, when the final scores were read out, it was a comfortable unanimous decision victory for the reigning champ. Two judges had it 50-45, with the third scoring it 49-46.

In the co-main event former heavyweight boxer, Izu Ugonoh made a solid start to his MMA career with a first-round TKO victory over France’s Quentin Domingos. However, the heavy-hitting Pole had little chance to show his true range after Domingos sustained a leg injury and wanted no more part of Ugonoh. The 33-year-old Ugonoh, who is also a former kickboxer, did demonstrate that his hands are still as deadly as ever and that he can still land chopping kicks when the occasion calls for it. He will be a fun addition to the KSW roster, and it will be interesting to see how he develops as a mixed martial artist.

The promotion also dropped a trailer for KSW 55, which take place on Saturday, Oct 10. Headlining the event will be a heavyweight clash between Szymon Ko?ecki and ?ukasz Jurkowski.
