Gamrot’s Wrestling Halted Klein’s Unbeaten Run in Las Vegas
Mateusz Gamrot defeated Ludovít Klein by unanimous decision at UFC APEX in Las Vegas on May 31, 2025. All three judges returned 30–27 scorecards after the lightweight contest, which became the evening’s final fight following the scheduled main-event cancellation.
Ground control shaped the opening rounds
Gamrot used his wrestling to keep Klein under pressure during the first ten minutes. The Polish lightweight repeatedly established control on the mat, limiting the room available for Klein to develop his striking.
The third round included more standing exchanges before Gamrot timed another level change. He finished working with punches from top position, maintaining the pattern that had carried the earlier rounds.
The victory followed a narrow previous defeat
Gamrot had lost a split decision to Dan Hooker at UFC 305 in August 2024. Before that setback, he had defeated former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos by unanimous decision that March.
His earlier run also included a split-decision victory over Jalin Turner and an injury stoppage against Rafael Fiziev during 2023. The Klein result returned him to winning form against another established lightweight.
Klein’s momentum met a difficult stylistic test
Klein entered with seven consecutive appearances without defeat, including a September 2024 decision over Roosevelt Roberts. Gamrot ended that unbeaten sequence by winning every round on every judge’s card.
The outcome showed how sustained takedowns and top offense could interrupt Klein’s preferred boxing exchanges. Gamrot needed the full scheduled distance, but the final verdict left no disagreement about the winner.
