It’s a testament to Oliveira’s greatness that he remains a Top 5-seeded contender in one of the sport’s deepest divisions even as he’s starting to fall off a bit. “Do Bronx” is looking a little less dangerous in his last few appearances, and yet he was still able to take Arman Tsarukyan to his absolute limit. It remains to be seen, however, how the recent knockout loss to Ilia Topuria affects him.

As for Gamrot, he’s always trying to jump on any short-notice opportunity that puts him in the cage with a top-ranked contender. The Polish wrestler is clearly very good, but he struggles to really put the stamp on fights when in the cage with truly elite Lightweights. As such, the 34-year-old has struggled to build momentum, but UFC Rio could be a huge moment for his career. ”Do Bronx” is an all-time great offensive fighter. Combining potent Muay Thai with some of the most aggressive jiu-jitsu in UFC history, Oliveira is a verifiable wood chipper that can finish his opponents in an instant.

Gamrot is one of Lightweight’s best technical wrestlers. He chains together his shots beautifully and has a lot of variety to his finishes. Once in top position, Gamrot is an excellent jiu-jitsu player as well, though he sometimes struggles to hold down his most athletic opposition. On the feet, Gamrot is a mobile kickboxer with a sharp 1-2 from either stance, though he struggles if forced to box for an extended period of time. Gamrot can strike with Oliveira, who has never been hard to hit even at the best of times. If, like Makhachev, Gamrot keeps his feet moving on the outside, he won’t have a hard time baiting Oliveira into swinging at him. Gamrot has managed to crack quite a few quality opponents on the counter, and it’s imperative he earns Oliveira’s respect standing here.

Strangely, I feel Gamrot must badly hurt or outright finish Oliveira on the feet to win this fight. Given Oliveira’s lengthy career and recent knockout loss, that’s certainly not impossible. Gamrot is fast and throws a crisp 1-2, and that combination could be enough for a quick victory. The problem is I’m not sure Gamrot has it in him to commit to a striking match, particularly on short-notice. In the face of Oliveira’s aggression, he’s likely to fall back to his comfort strategy and wrestle hard. He may find some early success, but committing to the wrestling will eventually backfire for “Gamer.” Tune is below for complete Match Card and event detail for UFC Fight Night Oliveira vs. Gamrot October 11th, 2025.
