Just a few months after his last appearance, Mateusz Gamrot already has his next challenge. The UFC has announced that the Polish fighter will step back into the Octagon to face Quillan Salkilld in the main event of UFC Vegas 120, scheduled for Aug. 8 in Enterprise, NV. Last April, "Gamer" faced Esteban Ribovics at UFC 327 and submitted the Argentine in the second round.

The bout marks Gamrot's return to the main-event spotlight. The last time the Polish fighter headlined a UFC event was against Charles Oliveira in October 2025, when the Brazilian defeated him via second-round submission.

Now, the Polish fighter will be tested against one of the division's biggest prospects.
