The future of the lightweight division delivered in the UFC Fight Night main event, as Mateusz Gamrot made a late surge to outpoint Arman Tsarukyan via five-round unanimous decision in a fight fought at a high-pace for 25 minutes. In the end, though, key takedowns for Poland’s Gamrot proved to be the deciding factor in the clash of 155-pound contenders. In the co-main event, unbeaten Shavkat Rakhmonov made a major statement with his submission of longtime welterweight contender Neil Magny.
