Mateusz Gamrot says Poland is cleaner, safer, and more modern than USA

UFC lightweight Mateusz Gamrot stated on the WojewódzkiKędzierski podcast that Poland is cleaner, safer, more hospitable, and in many ways more modern than the United States. He cited examples including Poland having portable payment terminals ten years before they became common in American restaurants. Gamrot criticized American hospitality, recalling being invited to barbecues where he had to bring his own food or go hungry, contrasting this with Polish generosity. He described American social interactions as superficial, noting that people expect standard responses to "how are you" rather than genuine conversation. While acknowledging the USA offers career advantages for sports, Gamrot emphasized that quality of life is not necessarily better there, noting even his children prefer Poland despite Florida's beaches.
