LAS VEGAS – The main event between Mateusz Gamrot and Arman Tsarukyan was an incredible five rounds of action, proving exactly why this matchup deserved top billing of UFC on ESPN 38.
Both lightweight competitors entered the first main event of their UFC careers, with both men looking to make a statement on the big stage. When the dust settled after 25 minutes of high-paced action, the judges were unanimous in their decision, giving Gamrot (21-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) the nod over Tsarukyan (18-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC).
Both fighters looked to establish their game early in the fight. Gamrot tried to get a takedown after grabbing a single leg and lifting it high, but Tsarukyan somehow managed to stay on his feet. A few moments later, Tsarukyan completed a beautiful takedown, and a few wild scrambles for position soon followed.
