I am conflicted about him he has that grinding style and i didn't care for all the ankle picking he was doing last night but in my drunken state i thought he edged out Hooker. He has 10 UFC fights and half of them got 'of the night' bonuses 2 potn's and 3 fotn's Plus 4 finishes if you include Fiziev's leg injury. Maybe i am wrong about this guy and he just had an off night. That said he still turned Hookers face into ground beef. What do you think? who should be next?
 
Gamrot biggest weakness is his chin. Said it months ago and say it now. Guy gets flash knockdowns every fight and because of it he makes fights be way closer then it should be. It's almost impossible to win rounds if you get dropped.

He is one of 3 fighters in UFC i can name with weak chin - Cody Garbrandt, Johnny Walker, Mateusz Gamrot

he has 26 fights never been KO'd/TKO'd the same cant be said for the other two you compared him to.
 
His main problem is he has no finishing tools. No reliable stopping power and no submissions. So the only thing left to work with is grinding. He should work in a randy couture approach of getting better at dirty boxing or ground and pound
 
I liked it yesterday he should have a wim a close fight
 
strange guy. only 2 loses but losing to beniel so decisively should have screamed something was off.

the dude worked his way up to top 5 by beating 20-10 ranked guys while the remaining top fighters beat each other of type 5 ranking.

he in'st a guy you want wearing the championship. perfect guy to be a gatekeeper for the top 6 , since the rest of the guys fight each other.
 
I mean he legit mutilated Dan Hooker's face. Dan didn't slip on a banana peel, he was getting tagged.
Yea I don’t get this, people are acting like he exclusively looked to wrestle. I honestly thought he won the fight and got the better of most of the striking exchanges. I don’t know if people are just happy that Dan got the win or what but that was a very close fight that could’ve gone either way IMO.

I thought he won too. Close, but won.
 
I followed him from the beginning. He's a good fighter. He's at least top 10 in the world and will give everyone a tough fight.

But he IS a boring fighter. His records of FOTN is deceiving. He doesn't hit hard, but he throws hard at times. So when he connects, it can hurt someone like it did against Holtzman. I don't think he looked that great before that either.

He is a good grappler, so he can sub guys like Stephens, but he's not necessarily a huge submission specialist either.

He has good cardio, he's from a good camp, has power and athletic, and he's a grinder, so if things doesn't go his way and can't impose his will like against Hooker and Arman and Guram, it can lead to an entertaining fight. And I thought he lost against Arman and lost against Hooker as the decision went. Really, he should've gone 0-3 when that happened.

He may have 5 fight of the night bonuses, his skillset, and what he tries to do in his fights, makes him a boring fighter, in my opinion. I think those bonuses are incredibly deceiving.

He's an elite fighter. But he is a boring fighter, if that makes sense. However, if you put him up against someone like Islam, Chandler, Arman, Oliveira, or even like Edgar back in the day, Guida, Maynard, Dawson, etc, you will have an exciting one, if that makes sense.
 
Boring like Anklelaev. Should be kicked out of the UFC like Mokaev
Agreed.

They should just replace the gloves with boxing gloves, change the round format to 3 3 minute rounds, remove grappling completely and change the promotion’s name from UFC to GLORY, amirite?

Yes!
 
I'm not a fan.

His grappling is boring. He just lays there and throws nothing but rabbit punches 90% of the time and doesn't try anything.

The only time his fights are exciting is when it's because his opponent has made it exciting. Dan made this exciting. His fights against Benny and Arman were fun, but they were fun because he had opponents who could make it a fight. If Gamrot could have had his way, he would have just laid on top of them for 3 rounds.
 
The haters r mostly low iq fans lol



Same people who cry boring when fighters don't just stand infront of each other throwing strikes with zero head movement...

Hes a great fighter...he does make technical or strategic mistakes atleast once every fight
...but that just shows hes trying and taking risks..

I would like to see him work on getting finishes...sometimes it really looks like hes levels above guys but he doesnt believe in himself enough or something to get the finish .. hes okay with just being ahead...which is better then losing but at the top of division you cant give guys a chance to stay in the fight if your that much better then them...you leave the door open for the other guy to steal it...
