Mateusz Gamrot claims Poland is cleaner and safer than United States

UFC lightweight Mateusz Gamrot shared extensive commentary comparing Poland favorably to the United States across multiple dimensions including cleanliness, safety, hospitality, and modernity. Gamrot cited examples of Poland being ahead of America in everyday conveniences like portable payment terminals in restaurants, which he says were common in Poland a decade before becoming standard in the US. He criticized American hospitality as superficial, recounting experiences where he had to bring his own food to barbecues and describing conversations as shallow formalities. Gamrot noted that while the US offers career advantages for athletes, quality of life is not necessarily better, citing an instance where his children preferred returning to their grandmother in Poland despite being at a Florida beach. He emphasized that navigating daily life is easier in Poland where he knows shortcuts and systems, whereas in America he feels like an outsider constantly at the back of every queue.
