Mateusz Gamrot vs. Dan Hooker Targeted for UFC 305 in Perth

A lightweight showdown pitting Mateusz Gamrot against Dan Hooker is in the works for UFC 305.

Multiple outlets recently confirmed that the bout has been verbally agreed to after Hooker initially announced the booking on social media. UFC 305 takes place at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, and is headlined by a middleweight championship clash between Dricus Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya.

A former KSW champion, Gamrot has been victorious in seven of his nine Octagon appearances. The 33-year-old Pole is currently in the midst of a three-bout UFC winning streak that includes triumphs over Rafael dos Anjos, Rafael Fiziev and Jalin Turner. “Gamer” also owns a victory over current lightweight No. 1 contender Arman Tsarukyan.

After losing four of five promotional outings from June 2020 to March 2022, Hooker has rebounded to post consecutive triumphs against Claudio Puelles and Jalin Turner. The 34-year-old City Kickboxing representative hasn’t competed since a split verdict over Turner at UFC 290 in July 2023.
