This is the UFC Vegas 57 live blog for Arman Tsarukyan vs. Mateusz Gamrot, the lightweight main event on Saturday at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

Tsarukyan (18-2) — currently tied with Gamrot for the No. 11 spot at lightweight in MMA Fighting’s Global Rankings — has won five straight fights and is coming off of back-to-back TKO victories over Joel Alvarez and Christos Giagos. The 25-year-old blue-chip prospect has won 17 of his past 18 fights.

Gamrot (20-1, 1 NC) is a former two-division KSW champion who has also hit his stride in the UFC. After dropping a narrow split decision to Guram Kutateladze in his promotional debut, the Polish standout has scored consecutive finishes over Diego Ferreira, Jeremy Stephens, and Scott Holtzman.
