As for Gamrot, the former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of European outfit, KSW, looks to improve on his number seven rank in the division in just his second headliner under the UFC banner, last time outlasting Jalin Turner en route to a short-notice split decision win at UFC 285 back in March.
