Mateusz Gamrot has an impressive MMA record of 24 wins and just 2 losses in his professional mixed martial arts career. Among the 24 wins that Gamrot has, 8 are by KO/TKO, and 5 are via submission. However, he has fallen short against two fighters in the past.
Gamrot made his return inside the UFC octagon in October 2020, where he faced Guram Kutateladze. His debut for the promotion didn’t start with success as he would face his first career loss against the Georgian. The fight was close to call as Gamrot had a lot of success but a knockdown by Kutaletladze was enough to win over two of the three judges.
His second career loss came in the hands of one of the top lightweights in the division against Beniel Dariush back in October of 2022. Mateusz Gamrot was on a 4-fight win streak going in against Beniel Dariush at UFC 208, but the more seasoned fighter managed to upset the Polish after a dominating performance. Dariush indeed won via a unanimous decision.

Has “Gamer” lost outside the UFC?
Mateusz Gamrot came into the UFC with an undefeated record of 13-0. He had an impressive 46% finish rate while joining the UFC which made quite a lot of people expect quite a lot from the Polish wrestler. The only fight where he came close to one was his fight against Norman Parke in KSW 39 back in 2017 after an accidental eye poke, which meant that the fight was ruled as a no-contest. But that doesn’t mean the Polish mixed martial artist was defeated by Parke. The two faced each other for the third time at KSW 53 – Reborn, where Gamrot claimed a victory over Parke via TKO by doctor’s stoppage.
Despite no losses in MMA outside of the UFC Mateusz Gamrot didn’t have much success in grappling competitions as he had competed twice in professional grappling but didn’t find success either time. His first ended in a draw against Borys Mańkowski in 2017, and his second against an MMA superstar from ONE Championship, Garry Tonon in 2019 at the ADCC World Championships.
