MIAMI, FLORIDA - APRIL 11: Mateusz Gamrot of Poland reacts after a submission victory against Esteban Ribovics of Argentina in a lightweight fight during the UFC 327 event at Kaseya Center on April 11, 2026 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by Ed Mulholland/Zuffa LLC)
Mateusz Gamrot made an example of Esteban Ribovics earlier tonight (Sat., April 11, 2026) at UFC 327 LIVE on CBS/Paramount+ from inside Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla., getting back in the UFC win column with a dominant second-round submission stoppage (arm-triangle choke).
This matchup had all the ingredients for a Gamrot showing and the lightweight veteran took full advantage. He was going to have to be careful because Ribovics is tough, durable, and able to crack with his punches, but it never really came to that. Gamrot was that good with his wrestling and controlling top game. Ribovics didn’t have much time to do anything that he wanted to.
Gamrot’s dominant wrestling trickled in the second round where he brought Ribovics to the ground again and eventually worked his way to an arm-triangle choke. Ribovics waved the referee off and tried to counter with some punches to the body, but a few seconds later he was forced to tap. It was as dominant as we’ve ever seen Gamrot.
Check out the video highlights below:
Gamrot, 35, was coming off a submission loss to Charles Oliveira last October so this was an important showing to start his 2026 campaign. The perennial lightweight contender took time during his post-fight speech to extend a callout to former UFC featherweight title challenger, Diego Lopes, who is wanting to move up to 155 pounds. We’ll see if UFC matchmakers bite on a matchup this summer.
