The effusive celebration of Mateusz gamrot for the victory won over Raphael Fiziev after an injury suffered by his rival in the main fight of the UFC Las Vegas 79, last Saturday (23), did not go down well in the eyes of the former light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg) Jamahal hill.

Through a post on social media shortly after the fight, the former owner of the UFC belt took a stand and disapproved of the attitude of the Polish lightweight (up to 70,3kg).

“Getting excited and dancing after an injury victory is f***ing ridiculous,” Hill wrote.

The injury of Raphael Fiziev happened in the second round of the duel, when the Azerbaijani representative landed a direct kick to the elbow of Mateusz gamrot and, upon returning, he was unable to put his foot on the ground and ended up defeated by technical knockout.

Despite being anticlimactic, the victory was widely celebrated by Mateusz gamrot inside the octagon. However, the Pole made it clear, in the post-fight interview, that he would like the result to be achieved in another way and not with his opponent injured.
