Mateusz Gamrot Takes On Ludovit Klein at UFC on ESPN 68 in May

Top-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship Mateusz Gamrot is taking a bit of a stroll outside of the top 15 for a time.

Per the promotion on Thursday, Gamrot (24-3, 1 NC) will be taking on Ludovit Klein (23-4-1) in a major lightweight tilt at UFC on ESPN 68, also known as UFC Vegas 107. They will serve on the main card but not as the main attraction, with that spot going to the flyweight title eliminator between Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber. The fighters will all throw down inside of the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on May 31.

In the Octagon thus far, former two-division KSW king Gamrot has yet to amass a win streak greater than four. He debuted in 2020, lost a decision to Guram Kutateladze and went on to rattle off fought straight wins. A top contender match against Beneil Dariush did not go his way in 2022, so he settled for winning three more to climb the leaderboard again. Once more, the Polish combatant came up short when it mattered most, dropping a split verdict to Dan Hooker. “Gamer” has never lost consecutive bouts.

Rising Slovakian talent Klein is getting a crack at a top-tier opponent after bouncing around the division for a couple years. While he is currently riding a seven-fight unbeaten streak, his best win likely still remains a decision over Ignacio Bahamondes a couple years ago. The five decision victories on his current run are one shy of the overall total he holds on his record.

UFC on ESPN 68, also known as UFC Vegas 107, will play out at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on May 31. The headliner comes at 125 pounds as Blanchfield collides with Barber. Other main card tilts include a bantamweight battle pitting Ketlen Vieira against Macy Chiasson, and a pair of light heavyweights toeing the line as Dustin Jacoby faces Bruno Lopes.
