Fiziev (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) tore his ACL on a kick attempt in the second round of the lightweight headliner this past weekend at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Gamrot (23-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) was awarded the victory by TKO , but many in the MMA community refused to give him full credit because of how the result unfolded. Ultimately, Gamrot has the victory on his record, and has won six of his past seven inside the octagon. That should warrant a big name at 155 pounds, but there’s no clear direction for him to take going forward
