Pros react after Charles Oliveira submits Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Rio
Tonight’s UFC Rio event was headlined by a highly anticipated lightweight contest between Charles Oliveira and Mateusz Gamrot.
Oliveira (36-11 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since suffering a brutal knockout loss to Ilia Topuria back at June’s UFC 317 event. Prior to that setback, ‘Do Bronx’ had earned a dominant decision victory over Michael Chandler at UFC 309 in November of 2024.
Meanwhile, Mateusz Gamrot (25-4 MMA) was returning to the Octagon for the first time since May’s UFC Vegas 107 event, where he scored a unanimous decision win over L’udovit Klein. That victory was of course preceded by split decision loss to fellow lightweight contender Dan Hooker, in a fight that earned ‘FOTN’ honors.
Tonight’s UFC Rio main event resulted in another memorable performance from the former lightweight kingpin in Charles Oliveira. ‘Do Bronx’ was able to get the better of ‘Gamer’ both on the feet and on the ground before ultimately securing a fight ending choke midway through the second round. It was a sensational performance from Oliveira, and after the win he called out current BMF title holder Max Holloway!
