UFC Fight Night: Jeremy Stephens vs Mateusz Gamrot

Stephens is in dire need of a win on Saturday night as he’s 0-4-1 in his last five fights. After a steady decline at featherweight, he finally decided to move up to lightweight earlier in 2021. However, his fight against Drakkar Klose was canceled at the eleventh hour as Klose was injured due to Stephens’ shove at the weigh-ins.

‘Lil Heathen’ has an opportunity to finally make things right and get his lightweight run off to the right start. He’s got a firefighting style that relies on getting in close. His power at featherweight was astounding and fans would expect his explosiveness to carry forward. He’ll have to be wary of Gamrot’s counters which have folded previous opponents like lawn chairs.

Mateusz Gamrot is on 1-1 in the UFC and is coming off a KO win over Scott Holtzman in his last fight. He lost a controversial split decision to Guram Kutateladze in his debut which was also his first career loss. At 18-1 currently, he’s looked at as a dangerous prospect with future title aspirations.

‘Gamer’ Gamrot is well-rounded no matter where the fight goes and it’s his ability to adapt that sets him apart. Not to mention, he can trade with anyone including Stephens, although that could potentially be a costly mistake.
