Charles Oliveira vs. Mateusz Gamrot: Stellar Duel in Rio de Janeiro
The former UFC lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira, will face Mateusz Gamrot in a highly anticipated event next month. This fight promises to be a spectacle for mixed martial arts fans.
Oliveira (35-11) and Gamrot (25-3) will star in the main event of UFC Fight Night on October 11 in Rio de Janeiro. This event will mark Oliveira’s return to Brazil since March 2020.
Originally, Oliveira was scheduled to face Rafael Fiziev, but the latter withdrew due to an injury last week.
The UFC considered several opponents to replace Fiziev. Gamrot, for his part, publicly requested the opportunity to fight Oliveira on short notice.
Gamrot has a 4-1 record in his last five appearances, with his only loss against Dan Hooker in August 2024. He has achieved notable victories over Rafael dos Anjos, Fiziev, and Arman Tsarukyan.
Oliveira will seek to recover from his knockout loss to Ilia Topuria in July.
UFC ranks Oliveira and Gamrot as numbers 4 and 8, respectively, in the organization’s lightweight rankings. The UFC Fight Night event will be held at the Farmasi Arena.
