Mateusz Gamrot knows who he will fight next and roughly when, and he is keeping it to himself. The UFC has offered him a bout in the first quarter of 2027, and he says it came with a named opponent and a fixed date. The fight is not official, and the lightweight has not said who or when.
He described the offer on Artur Mazur's Klatka po Klatce. It reached him the day before the interview, and he called it the first time he has been offered a fight so far ahead. Days earlier he had spoken of returning around March or April, according to Lowking. MMA.pl reports he accepted almost at once: the message came at 2:34, he answered at 7:14 and wrote "Let's go!"
The offer follows his August first-round submission loss to Quillan Salkilld in a Las Vegas main event. MMA.pl adds that he recently turned down a fight with Brian Ortega, citing the Salkilld fight and his health. Gamrot, 35, says the new date gives him a target after that setback.
The health problem is the complication. He says a nose broken ahead of the Salkilld fight keeps reopening. It looked healed earlier in the week, he says, but a scrape in jiu-jitsu training put it back to its pre-fight state. He suspects the stitches inside the nose are not healing, which he stressed is his own impression rather than a diagnosis, and said he does not know what to do about it.
He plans to fly to American Top Team in Florida in January, as in recent years. With a fight due in the first three months of the year, the nose has little time to settle. Watch for the UFC's official announcement of the opponent and date, and for any update on whether the injury needs treatment.
