The fight

The confrontation began with Ferreira making the first attack, with a low kick. Gamrot responded with a cross, which stopped in the Brazilian's guard. Halfway through the round, Carlos flew into his opponent's legs and attempted the first takedown. The Pole defended himself well, took a stance, and did not allow the attack. With just over two minutes remaining, it was Gamrot's turn to put the Tupiniquim down, but then allowed Diego to get up. In the final seconds, the Pole took down the Brazilian again, but, just like in the first moment, he let Diego get up. The round ended with the fighters exchanging blows in the center of the octagon.

In the second stage, Diego started attacking with combinations of kicks and punches. Mateusz did not leave the Brazilian's attacks unanswered and showed danger in the counterattack. After just over a minute, the Pole reversed a takedown by the Brazilian and the fighters began to show off their technique on the ground. Gamrot gave up his position and let the Tupiniquim stand. Halfway through the stage, Matuesz took down again, but Diego got up quickly. In another takedown, Gamrot managed to take him down, reached his back and, with the Brazilian kneeling, threw a knee to the Tupiniquim's ribs. Diego felt the blow and asked the referee to stop.
