Charles Oliveira was originally slated to take on No. 10 ranked Rafael Fiziev, but a knee injury forced Fiziev out of the fight. Gamrot, ranked No. 8 in the weight class, stepped in
on short notice. This is what the latter has to say about the fight:
"I have a lot of respect for him. He's a great person and great name, but right now it's changing guard as I want to take his place," Gamrot says.
Gamrot was on his way to Miami to begin his next training camp. He quickly contacted his manager about stepping in as a replacement though. The opportunity to maybe face
Oliveira was too big to pass up:
"I saw information that Fiziev pulled out, so I texted my manager 'I am ready to get the replacement.' Of course, this is short notice, only three weeks before the fight, but only a
name like Charles Oliveira or a title fight, you can't never turn down this" he says. "I was super happy to get this fight because all my life I've been waiting and training hard to get
this kind of opportunity and finally now we get this."
Stylistically, Gamrot looks forward to test his grappling against the man who holds the record for most submission wins in UFC history:
"I am ready to scramble with him! And I expect the best version of Charles Oliveira. I know this is going to be a hard fight for me... It doesn't matter how, but I just see my hand
being up. I'm like really ready for this fight physically and mentally. This is going to be a great show, for sure."
