Gamrot's Title Aspirations Diminished After Loss to Salkilld

Mateusz Gamrot's chances for a lightweight title shot diminished after he was submitted by Quillan Salkilld in the main event of UFC Vegas 120 on Saturday night.

Entering the fight ranked sixth in the lightweight division, Gamrot aimed to secure a victory that would elevate him into title contention following his recent win over Esteban Ribovics. However, Salkilld quickly took control, securing a rear-naked choke that extended his winning streak to thirteen fights and positioned him for a title eliminator.

At 35 years old, Gamrot's record now stands at 3-3 in his last six bouts, and he faces a more competitive lightweight division than before. A potential rematch with Rafael Fiziev, who previously defeated Gamrot, could be on the horizon, as both fighters seek to establish themselves in a crowded field. The outcome of Gamrot's next fight will be crucial in determining his future in the division.
