Mateusz Gamrot, the UFC's No. 5-ranked lightweight, recently announced his re-signing with the promotion via social media. He is set to compete at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia, where he will face No. 11-ranked Dan Hooker. This fight holds significant importance for Gamrot as he aims to maintain his position in the Top 5 of the UFC lightweight division and make a strong impression following his contract renewal.
The 33-year-old fighter from Poland, who trains at American Top Team in Coconut Creek, FL, boasts a professional MMA record of 24-2. Gamrot's only defeats came against Beneil Dariush in October 2022 at UFC 280 (unanimous decision) and Guram Kutateladze in October 2020 (split decision). Currently on a three-fight win streak, Gamrot has secured victories over Jalin Turner, Rafael Fiziev, and Rafael Dos Anjos. A win against Hooker could potentially lead to a matchup with a Top 4 lightweight contender, while a loss might see Gamrot drop in the rankings.
