Chosen to replace Raphael Fiziev at UFC Rio, Mateusz gamrot not only celebrated a great opportunity to face Charles of the Bronx, but also expressed confidence in overcoming his rival in his specialty: grappling. A slight favorite with bookmakers on the eve of the fight, the Polish fighter promised to silence the Marvelous City's audience with a dominant performance.

After issuing a poetic apology on social media, the athlete now sent a message to his tormentor, promising to return to Brazil to pursue greater knowledge in MMA.
