Mateusz Gamrot Forces Submission From Diego Ferreira After Landing Knee Strike – UFC Vegas 45 Highlights
Former two-weight KSW champion, Mateusz Gamrot has scored his third UFC victory and third finish to boot, forcing a second round verbal submission from the #12 ranked lightweight, Diego Ferreira, after landing a seemingly debilitating knee during a grappling scramble.
The Poznan native attempted to utilise his notable wrestling and offensive grappling ability against Fortis MMA staple, Ferreira throughout the two round affair, and appeared to land an ultimately fight altering knee to the body during a second round grappling scamble.
Taking Ferreira’s back at the Octagon fence, Gamrot shot forward with a knee to the side of Ferreira, which immediately drew a reaction from the Brazilian who signalled to referee, Jason Herzog that he was no longer able to continue.
Following the victory, Gamrot, who added Ferreira to a winning run which includes a pair of stoppage wins over both Scott Holtzman, and the veteran, Jeremy Stephens, called for a showdown with one-time undisputed lightweight title challenger, Michael Chandler next year.
