UFC books Mateusz Gamrot to fight surging unranked opponent

Mateusz Gamrot was itching for a fight, so much so that he said he'd take on an unranked opponent. Now, he has exactly that.

At UFC on ESPN 68, Gamrot (24-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) will battle Ludovit Klein (23-4-1 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in a three-round lightweight bout. The event takes place May 31 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

The UFC announced the news Thursday on social media.

Gamrot, 34, has not competed since August when he had a three-fight winning streak snapped in a split decision defeat to Dan Hooker.
