Mateusz Gamrot and Arman Tsarukyan had to sweat it out on the scorecards on Saturday night and only one fighter was left with any sense of relief.
After 25 competitive minutes of action in the UFC Vegas 57 lightweight main event, it was Gamrot who earned a unanimous decision over Tsarukyan with 48-47 scores across the board.

All three judges — Sal D’Amato, Chris Lee, and Ron McCarthy — had the same scorecard breakdown, giving the first two rounds to Tsarukyan and the last three to Gamrot.
The bout was closely contested throughout as the younger Tsarukyan appeared to get the better of the striking throughout, particularly in Rounds 1 and 2, but found himself increasingly stifled by Gamrot’s grappling as the fight progressed. The judges ruled that Gamrot’s offensive output, former KSW two-division champion was the superior one.
Tsarukyan’s five-fight winning streak is broken by
Gamrot, who wins his fourth consecutive UFC fight.
