Mateusz Gamrot has called out Michael Chandler, following ‘Iron’ Mike’s recent fight-of-the-year contender clash with Dustin Poirier at UFC 281.

Both Gamrot and Chandler are currently coming off competitive losses to top-level opposition. Gamrot came up short against Beneil Dariush at UFC 280, with all three judges scoring the fight for Dariush, whilst Chandler was submitted by Poirier last weekend at UFC 281.

Both are still ranked in the top 10, and will likely be serving medical suspensions until 2023. Considering this, a fight between the two men would make plenty of sense. This is clearly what Mateusz Gamrot believes, as the Pole took to Twitter to call out Chandler, stating:

“Hey [Michael Chandler] if you still wanna be counted as a title contender, let’s make a war at spring and see who’s the better wrestler,” wrote Gamrot. “Winner is going up! Enjoy your well deserved rest for now.”

This is not the first time Gamrot has called ‘Iron’ Mike out. After his second-round TKO win over Carlos Diego Ferreira at UFC Vegas 45, ‘Gamer’ took to the mic for his post-fight interview, stating:

“Everybody wants a fight with Conor McGregor. But who is Conor? Conor was five years ago and now he’s a businessman, not a real fighter. Hey, Michael Chandler, you want to say you want a fight with Conor? You have a record in the Octagon [of] 1-2. Come on with me. You probably want to wrestle, so let’s go. Fight with me. I wish you all the best, quick recovery and fight next year with me. Let’s go!” (H/T Bloody Elbow)

Chandler is yet to respond, though a fight with Gamrot is certainly one that fans of the UFC would sit down to watch.

Top 10 lightweight contenders clashed as Beneil Dariush and Mateusz Gamrot met in an entertaining affair at UFC 280 filled with high-level grappling and mutual respect for one another.

In the opening round, both fighters showed off their elite-level grappling with Gamrot being the aggressor, looking for multiple takedowns throughout. Neither fighter was able to secure a significant advantage in their exchanges. Gamrot caught a low kick and drove into Dariush, scoring a takedown, but quickly found himself defending a heel hook.

Round two saw both fighters standing for the most-post with Dariush putting on the pressure. Falling behind in the round, Gamrot began shooting for takedowns, though unsuccessfully. With 10 seconds left in the round, Gamrot threw a flying knee that partially connected. He immediately shot in for a takedown but was unable to finish before the second round came to a close.

Going into the final round with the fight likely 1-1, Gamrot began putting on pressure with Dariush content to defend takedowns and counterstrike. 90 seconds to go in the round, Dariush landed a massive left that dropped Gamrot. Recovering quickly, Gamrot got back to his feet uncontested and was able to briefly wrestle Dariush to the canvas before the two fighters returned to their feet as the final horn sounded.

Official Result: Beneil Dariush defeats Mateusz Gamrot via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)
