Mateusz Gamrot shared his perspective comparing life in Poland to the United States during a podcast appearance. The UFC lightweight stated that Poland is cleaner, safer, more hospitable, and in many ways more modern than America, despite political challenges. Gamrot noted technological differences, citing an example of restaurants in the US only recently adopting portable payment terminals that Poland had implemented a decade earlier. He criticized American hospitality, recounting experiences where he was invited to barbecues but would have gone hungry without bringing his own food, contrasting this with Polish culture. Gamrot also described American social interactions as superficial, exemplified by the standard "How are you? Fine, bye bye" exchanges. While acknowledging the US offers career advantages for athletes, he emphasized that quality of life is not necessarily better, noting even his children prefer visiting their grandmother in Poland to Florida vacations.
