Polish UFC lightweight Mateusz Gamrot stated in a podcast interview that Poland is cleaner, safer, more hospitable, and in many ways more modern than the United States. Gamrot shared anecdotes about cultural differences, noting that portable payment terminals arrived in Polish restaurants a decade before similar technology appeared in American establishments he visited. He criticized Americans as superficial in their interactions and unhospitable compared to Polish culture, recounting experiences where he was expected to bring his own food to barbecues. Gamrot acknowledged the U.S. has advantages for sports careers but emphasized that quality of life is not necessarily better there. He appeared on the podcast "WojewódzkiKędzierski" to share these observations from his experiences living and training in America.
