Mateusz Gamrot: “I Am the Greatest Lightweight Wrestler” In The Whole….

Gamrot will face seasoned competitor Dan Hooker on Saturday at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia. Gamrot feels that defeating Hooker would position him for a rematch with the interim lightweight champion Makhachev, who is currently out with a hand injury, and ultimately a title unifier.

Despite acknowledging Makhachev’s superior grappling abilities, “Gamer” believes he is the finest lightweight wrestler. Gamrot cites Makhachev’s most recent championship bout versus Poirier, whom he assisted in training, as evidence of that. This past June, at UFC 302, Makhachev was put to the test by Poirier, who ultimately lost via fifth-round submission. Gamrot had it 2-2 heading into the last frame when cornering Poirier for the fight, but the judges had a different opinion. Gamrot is pleased with Poirier’s performance against Makhachev and thinks it illustrates how similar his own possible matchup with the Dagestani may be.

“As well as Dustin Poirier’s performance and position. He repeatedly made strong defenses, you’re right. Gamrot told Home of bout, “This was a great fight.” And after four rounds, it was about 2-2 when Dustin and I were in the corner. Naturally, the judges award points differently, but I thought it was a close fight, and Dustin’s decision to give it that way makes me very proud of him. I think I’m the best lightweight wrestler in the sport. Naturally, Islam is really skilled, and he consistently demonstrates his skill. However, if we fight in a cage, I believe I can defeat him, but I will, and it will lead to an amazing scramble match. And I really hope that he doesn’t
