An unusual situation occurred during the Mateusz Gamroth fight at UFC 285. In Las Vegas, he faced Jalyn Tarner and won, although what the judges did caused a lot of controversy.
On the night of Saturday to Sunday (March 4 to 5), a very important fight took place in Las Vegas with the participation of Mateusz Gamrot. The Pole wanted to return to the victorious path at any cost after the defeat from Beneil Dariusz. He then went down a few minutes later, so he made it a point of honor to do better in his fight with Jalyn Tarner. Our compatriot achieved his goal, albeit under controversial circumstances.
Mateusz Gamroth faced Jalyn Tarner at UFC 285.
Interestingly, the athlete from Krynica-Zdroj agreed to speak at UFC 285 almost at the last moment - less than a month before the scheduled date of the fight. Initially, the opponent of the American was to be Dan Hooker. However, he withdrew due to an injury, so the Pole got the opportunity to enter the ring in Las Vegas.
The fight itself between Gamroth and the Tarantula was fairly even. From the very beginning, both fighters aimed to compete only on their own terms. That is: our compatriot tried to enter and use wrestling techniques, he tried to overturn the opponent, and he, in turn, wanted to maintain a stance in which he had more chances. One could not dominate the other, and both had the right to usurp their hopes of winning on points.

As it turned out, the judges were more supportive of the whites and reds. They awarded exactly 29-28, 28-29 and 30-27 to the competitor from Krynica-Zdrój. In itself, this did not cause controversy, but after the publication of the verdicts of the arbitrators, discussions began.
It’s all about the disagreement between Derek Cleary and David Lethaby. Both men judged each round very differently. In turn, Ron McCarthy decided all the rounds in favor of the Pole. These decisions have drawn criticism online. “They must have been drunk,” one commenter wrote. “I don’t know what they were watching,” wrote another. There are many such tweets.
