An Iranian fighter based in the United States, Beneil Dariush, is on an upward trend thanks to seven consecutive wins, which is the third-longest winning streak in the lightweight division today. The fighter has not lost a contest since 2018.
However, he will be returning to the octagon after more than a year’s absence from official competition. His last appearance was on May 15, 2015, when he defeated Tony Ferguson by unanimous decision of the jury. Dariush deservedly won the fight, managing to control Ferguson at all times. At 33 years of age, he knows that a win will position him to fight for the title.
Mateusz Gamrot
- Odds: -195
- Record: 21-1-0
- Age: 31
- Height: 1,78 m
- Weight: 70 kg
- Reach: 179 cm
Mateusz Gamrot is Polish and was a champion in the KSW franchise. Since his arrival at UFC in 2020, he lost his first fight and then strung together four straight wins, most recently during the month of June in Las Vegas against Arman Tsarukyan. He is undoubtedly the candidate to win in what will be a close fight.
Within his UFC stint, he lost only to Guram Kutateladze by split decision. That loss is the only one he has recorded since he has been a professional in mixed martial arts, where he has an impressive record of 21 wins, 1 loss and 1 no-decision fight. Gamrot has excelled in both the UFC and other UFC franchises.
JefeBet Prediction
It will be a very balanced and even fight, in which both will study each other’s weaknesses. Gamrot’s record and his continuity in the octagon will take precedence over the Iranian’s inactivity, although the final decision will be very close.
Prediction: Mateusz Gamrot wins by split decision.
