Mateusz Gamrot has learned who his next opponent will be. The Polish fighter will headline the UFC event!

Mateusz Gamrot is returning to the Octagon. Details have been revealed about the former two-time KSW champion’s next fight, as he faces another major challenge in the lightweight division this August. Importantly, the Polish fighter will once again headline a UFC event as the main event.

“Gamer” has dominated two weight classes in KSW for years, winning championship belts in the lightweight and featherweight divisions. He has been competing in the UFC since 2020 and has already established himself among the elite in one of the most competitive divisions in the world. The next step on his path to his dream title fight will be a bout against an extremely dangerous Australian.

Quillan Salkilld is the Pole’s next opponent. He’s a true knockout specialist.

As officially announced, Mateusz Gamrot will face Quillan Salkilld at UFC Vegas 120, which will take place on August 8 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. At stake is not only a spot at the top of the lightweight rankings, but also the immense prestige associated with headlining the event.

The 26-year-old Australian has quickly risen to become one of the division’s biggest stars. He remains undefeated in the UFC, having defeated, among others, Anshul Jubli, Yanal Ashmouz, Nasrat Haqparast, and the experienced Beneil Dariush, whom he knocked out in his last fight. He has secured four of his five wins in the organization in the first round, which is why he is rightly considered one of the most spectacular fighters in the lightweight division.

For Mateusz Gamrot, this will be another opportunity to prove that he still belongs among the world’s very best. An additional advantage for the Polish fighter is the fact that the bout has been scheduled for five rounds. It is over the longer distance that “Gamer” has repeatedly demonstrated his superiority, leveraging his exceptional stamina, pace, and wrestling skills—which, over time, allow him to break down even the most dangerous opponents. On August 8, we’ll find out whether the former KSW champion’s experience will prove to be a more effective weapon than the dynamism and knockout power of one of the hottest talents in the entire UFC.
