The
Ultimate Fighting Championship‘s latest offering features an
intriguing lightweight matchup between two rising contenders.
Both Rafael
Fiziev and Mateusz
Gamrot hit their marks for the five-round main event. Both men
came in at 156 pounds on the dot. The rest of the 11-fight card
also made weight, which made it a drama-free affair at the official
weigh-ins.
Fiziev (12-2) is coming off a majority decision defeat to Justin
Gaethje. Prior to the setback, “Ataman” had put together six
straight wins over the likes of Rafael dos
Anjos and Brad
Riddell. Meanwhile, Gamrot (22-2, 1 NC) has won five of his
last six fights, with the only blemish coming to Beneil
Dariush. Wins over Jalin
Turner and Arman
Tsarukyan are highlights for “Gamer.”
UFC Fight Night 228 will air live on ESPN+ in its entirety on
Saturday. Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while the main card
starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
