Mateusz Gamrot Form
Mateusz Gamrot is the number eight ranked lightweight contender with a professional record of 26-4 (8 KOs, 6 Subs) and 1 No Contest.
Gamrot debuted in the UFC back in late 2020, but got off to a losing start as he lost a split decision to Guram Ktateladze.
He issued a strong response though, knocking out Scott Holzman in the second round for his first win in the UFC, and that proved to be the start of a four-game win streak.
The 35-year-old Polish fighter submitted Jeremy Stephens in the first round, before knocking out Carlos Diego Ferreira in the second and out-pointing Arman Tsarukyan.
Gamrot’s run was halted in October 2022 when he dropped a decision to Beneil Dariush, but he again responded well to a setback, sandwiching a TKO win over Rafael Fiziev with decision successes against Jalin Turner and Rafael dos Anjos.
However, he has not managed to string together wins since then, going 2-2 in his last four fights.
The Polish grappler bounced back from a split decision defeat to Dan Hooker with a points win over Ludovit Klein, and then answered a second-round submission loss to Charles Oliveira by tapping out Estaban Ribovics back in April.
Quillan Salkilld Form
Quillan Salkilld is the number 12 ranked lightweight contender with a professional record of 12-1 (5 KOs, 4 Subs).
Salkilld lost his pro debut back in February 2021, but bounced back from that early setback with a six-fight win streak on the Australian domestic scene to earn the attention of the UFC.
He made a successful appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2024, out-pointing Gauge Young over three rounds, and that was enough to earn him a deal with the promotion.
The 26-year-old Australian marked his UFC debut with a 19-second knockout of Anshul Jubli, and followed that up with a unanimous decision victory over Yanal Ashmouz.
Salkilld then produced a 150-second demolition of Nasrat Haqparats to complete a successful 2025 that propelled him up the 155lb ladder.
He has already fought twice this year too – backing up a first-round submission of Jamie Mullarkey with a first-round knockout of Beneil Dariush.
