“Perhaps politics played a role” – MMA fighter Grebnev about refereeing the fight Tsarukyan – Gemrot
The political component could have influenced the refereeing in the fight between Russian Armen Tsarukyan and Pole Mateusz Gamrot at the UFC Vegas 57 tournament, says AMC Fight Nights fighter Alexander Grebnev.
Tsarukyan lost to Gamrot in a five-round fight via unanimous decision. After the fight, the Russian fighter’s manager Sayat Abdrakhmanov stated that he thought “Tsarukyan took three rounds for sure.”
– The decision in the duel between Arman Tsarukyan and Mateusz Gamrot turned out to be extremely controversial. Personally, I did not understand how it was possible to give preference to the Pole. The Russian interrupted him in the standing position, and also fought better and dealt damage on the ground. His opponent had transfers and control. Yes, he hung on his back, but did no damage. Why give victory? Perhaps politics played a role. But I do not want to believe that such aspects influence the opinion of the judges in the UFC.
The only thing I did not expect such a fight from Hamrot. Look how cool he was in one leg and immediately broke behind his back. I have never seen this done by him before. Previously, Mateusz fought with Diego Ferreira, but there were no such transfers and control, ”Grebnev said in an interview with RT.
For the 25-year-old Tsarukyan, the defeat from Gamrot was the third in his career, he also has 18 wins.

“You know my next opponent. Usyk challenged me to a fight. He said he wanted to meet me in the ring. I accepted the challenge. “I push horses” and “I feel it, I feel it hard.”
What’s my plan? Be smart, be faster, use my agility, be tough, get in the ring and knock him out. I am known for my strength, I need to show it. “I’ve been through a tough journey in my life, but I’m back and ready to beat Usyk,” Wilder said.
The American had 49 fights in the professional ring and won 44 victories (43 of them ahead of schedule). In June, Wilder knocked out his compatriot Tyrell Herndon, ending his two defeats in 2023 and 2024.
Usyk last appeared in the ring in July, when he stopped Briton Daniel Dubois. The Ukrainian became the absolute world champion but lost a title by refusing to defend his WBO belt in October.

Japanese boxer after fight in Riyadh Naoya Inoue He shared his impressions of his victory over Mexican David Picasso (119–109, 120–108, 117–111):
“Honestly, I’m tired. The point wasn’t that I had four fights a year, it was that I had to prepare very hard for each of those four fights. When you’re in this process, you tolerate it because you only think about the fight, but now that it’s over, I see that I definitely gave it everything I had.”
“I don’t want to disrespect Picasso, but I wanted to show the difference between us a little more clearly and knock him out. I couldn’t meet the expectations and I couldn’t box the way I wanted. Nothing has been decided yet, but I would be happy to organize a fight that will excite the whole of Japan.”
