Mateusz Gamrot stated in a podcast interview that Poland is cleaner, safer, more welcoming, and in many ways more modern than the United States. The UFC lightweight contender shared experiences highlighting everyday technological conveniences that Poland adopted years before America, such as portable payment terminals in restaurants. Gamrot criticized American hospitality culture, describing social interactions as superficial and recounting instances where he was expected to bring his own food to barbecues. He noted that while the US offers career advantages for professional sports, quality of life is not necessarily better, and his children expressed preference for returning to their grandmother in Poland despite being in Florida surrounded by beaches and palm trees. Gamrot emphasized that familiarity with local systems makes problem-solving easier at home.
