What Is Mateusz Gamrot’s Walk Around Weight? How Much Does the UFC Lightweight Cut Before His Fights?

The no.6 UFC lightweight contender, Mateusz Gamrot will take on the former UFC lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 299 in Miami. Both fighters have officially made weight for the event and look to put on an exciting fight for the fans.

Mateusz Gamrot successfully weighed in at the division’s weight limit but looked considerably drained. This is quite normal for most fighters as they blow up quite a lot come fight night once they start hydrating and stop cutting weight. Given how much bigger Gamrot looks during his fights, what is his actual walk-around weight?

What is Gamer’s walk-around weight?

Despite not being the tallest fighter in the division, we can clearly see that Gamrot has mass when he fights, making him look considerably bigger against his opponents. This makes us wonder how much is the UFC lightweight’s actual walk-around weight. It is quite impossible to figure out how the exact weight of a person just by looking at them unless they tell you. However, in the Polish fighter’s case, there are a few guesses that can be made.

Mateusz Gamrot had previously mentioned that he preferred fighting in the lightweight division while he was about to join the UFC as a 13-0 lightweight prospect. He also revealed that he had a hard time cutting weight to the featherweight limit. As he said, “I think the lightweight category is better for me. Because I can’t cut too much weight but if I have big offers for featherweight, I will be ready.”

This alone can give us a good guess that the UFC lightweight walks around 180 lbs mark. Mateusz Gamrot had cut weight to the featherweight division in the past. And as you would guess, considering “Gamer” is a big lightweight, his move to featherweight was to become a two-divisional champion back in KSW.
