Mateusz Gamrot has turned to social media to call out fellow lightweight Paddy Pimblett, making bold first-round finish predictions in a public post on X that has yet to receive any official response from the UFC.
Gamrot, who fights out of American Top Team, holds a 26-4-0 record and sits at number ten in the UFC lightweight rankings. The 35-year-old Pole stands five-foot-ten with a 70-inch reach and is one of the division's most relentless wrestlers, averaging an impressive 5.15 takedowns per 15 minutes. He also lands 3.29 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy, making him a genuine two-way threat on the feet and on the mat.
Pimblett, ranked fourth ahead of Gamrot at number six in the division, carries a 23-4-0 record and has built a massive following on both sides of the Atlantic. The 31-year-old from Liverpool stands the same height as Gamrot but holds a three-inch reach advantage at 73 inches. Known for his offensive grappling, "The Baddy" averages 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes and produces a high output of 5.49 significant strikes per minute at 52 percent accuracy.
In his post, Gamrot reportedly used AI-generated content to frame the callout, declaring he would shave Pimblett bald and force a first-round tapout, describing the potential matchup as easy work.
Why it matters
- A win over the higher-ranked Pimblett would push Gamrot significantly closer to lightweight title contention.
- Pimblett's submission game against Gamrot's elite wrestling sets up a compelling grappling-centered style clash.
- The fight has not been confirmed by the UFC, leaving the callout at the social media stage for now.
