Media Mateusz Gamrot went through madness for his short notice fight with Turner to happen

[TCE]

Manager told him to pull out of the fight, manager said: "you're crazy man"



M. Gamrot tells how short-notice fight came to be at UFC285. Shocking circumstances. 16-17 days until fight - accept the fight and flight to US (ATT, Florida) 14 - problem with P-1 visa 7 - flight to Canada (meeting at consulate to get visa) 5 - flight from Canada to Las Vegas

So you wanna be a Gamer?

is that why he held onto turner for dear life that whole fight?

Gamrot has a lot of heart even if his style doesn't show it. Dude always goes for it.

 

[IneedSometop]

Gamrot is a beast. I wonder if he can still make FW fell like his grappling heavy game would work even better down there

 

[EYEKICKFACES]

Why the hell did he have to go to Canada to get a visa to fight in Vegas? Seems strange to me.......but I've never had to get a visa to work in Vegas so who knows?

Huh? The guy's one of the grittiest fighters in the UFC.

Poland is a cool as country btw. Last country i went to. The social level was off the charts. They will talk your head off.

Def realized my introvert spirit during this trip

He fought on short notice against a dude that's been demolishing people.

I don't care how he wins, if he beats Turner on short notice while defending his own ranking, he gets maximum respect.

There's more than one style in MMA, and Gamrot's wrestling is fucking legit.

I guess the glass is always half empty with you.

Is it just me or Polish is spoken fast AF?

Could be. But I think if you don't know the language, it always comes across as too fast, especially if you want to learn the language.

I don't think going to Canada was for the visa it's just a shorter flight to Vegas then Poland while the visa was arranged.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

That win is was even more impressive cause it was so short notice, and Turner has been looking insanely good to boot.

I think both these guys are future contenders.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Dude spent as much time on a plane as training...

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Been saying it for a while. Turner is a glorified .500 fighter and has had very sus performances.

He doesn't go for the finish but he certainly fights his ass off sir.

He has 2 lost in the UFC when he was 22-23 vs Luque and Frevola. All win since then and he's only 27.

He seems legit to me

I prefer when he speaks in English.

Haha well that makes much more sense, I misunderstood.
