Polish UFC lightweight contender Mateusz Gamrot isn’t pulling any punches — not in the Octagon and definitely not on the mic. In a recent interview, Gamrot made it crystal clear: he wants a fight with Benoît Saint Denis, and he’s not exactly impressed by what he’s seen from the French rising star.

“He’s the god of the comfort zone,” Gamrot said. “But I’m going to bring him somewhere he’s never been.”

 Calling Out a Rising Force

Benoît Saint Denis has made a name for himself with a string of dominant performances, finishing opponents with brutal striking and relentless pressure. But Gamrot — known for his world-class grappling and gas tank — isn’t convinced.

“He looks great when he controls the fight,” Gamrot added. “But what happens when you take him out of that? What happens when he’s drowning in deep waters?”

With both fighters climbing the lightweight ladder and hungry for a title shot, Gamrot sees Saint Denis as the perfect test — and the perfect target.

 Gamrot’s Game Plan: Pressure & Pace

Mateusz Gamrot, a former KSW champion, has already tangled with elite names like Arman Tsarukyan, Rafael Fiziev, and Jalin Turner. His fights are often grueling, pace-heavy wars where he drags opponents into uncomfortable territory — and that’s exactly what he plans to do if he faces Saint Denis.

“He hasn’t faced someone like me,” Gamrot said. “Someone who mixes wrestling, striking, and control. Someone who won’t fade.”

 The Mind Games Begin

By calling Saint Denis “the god of the comfort zone,” Gamrot is already playing a psychological game — suggesting that Benoît looks elite only when things go his way, and implying he’s unproven under true adversity.

It’s a smart play: challenge the ego, bait the pride, and lure a fighter into a war of styles.

 What’s Next?

The UFC lightweight division is stacked, and matchups like Gamrot vs. Saint Denis are exactly what fans love: a clash of styles, national pride, and surging contenders with everything to gain — and everything to lose.

If the UFC books this fight, expect fireworks. Gamrot will look to smother and break. Saint Denis will look to pressure and finish. And fans? They’ll be watching two of Europe’s toughest warriors fight for a shot at the top.
