Mateusz Gamrot says Poland is cleaner and safer than United States

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 Gamrot cited examples such as outdated payment technology in American restaurants and superficial social interactions as evidence. He also criticized American hospitality, recalling barbecue invitations where he would have gone hungry without bringing his own food, contrasting this with Polish culture. While acknowledging advantages for sports careers in the U.S., Gamrot suggested that quality of life is not necessarily better there. He noted that even his children preferred returning to their grandmother in Poland despite being on a Florida beach, and that navigating everyday matters is simpler at home where he knows the shortcuts.
