Mateusz Gamrot entered UFC 327 on April 11, 2026, looking to bounce back from a loss to Charles Oliveira in October 2025. The fight took place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, where Gamrot faced Esteban Ribovics in a highly anticipated matchup.
Gamrot secured a decisive victory, defeating Ribovics via submission with an arm-triangle choke in Round 2, specifically at the 4:19 mark. This win improved Gamrot’s professional record to 26 wins and 4 losses, while Ribovics fell to 15 wins and 2 losses.
After the fight, Gamrot expressed his desire for a higher-profile matchup, calling out Diego Lopes, who he noted was considering a move to the lightweight division. “Give me someone at the f*cking top. Diego Lopes, I heard he wants to move to lightweight. Let’s go,” Gamrot stated.
This victory marked Gamrot’s second finish in his nine UFC victories, further solidifying his position in the lightweight rankings, where he is currently placed at #8. Gamrot, a former KSW champion, trains at American Top Team, which has contributed to his success in the octagon.
Gamrot reflected on his performance, saying, “Second time I took on a guy out of the rankings, second time I showed I should be in the rankings.” His determination to climb the ranks is evident as he seeks to face tougher competition moving forward.
As observers look ahead, the potential matchup with Lopes could be a significant step for Gamrot, providing an opportunity to further establish himself in the lightweight division. The MMA community is keen to see how this call-out will unfold and whether Lopes will accept the challenge.
