Poland

Gets right back in win column
LightweightUFC
October 26, 2024
Rebecki defeated Myktybek Orolbai via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC 308 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
It's a massive rebound performance from Rebecki on the heels of his third-round knockout loss to Carlos Diego Ferreira in May as a -400 favorite. He found himself as a +250 underdog against Orolbai and honestly looked more comfortable in the role. He limited Orolbai's space in taking Round 1. Myktybek came back to even the fight in Round 2, at which point Rebecki landed the biggest blow of the bout, a massive right hand which floored his opponent in Round 3. Mateusz gassed out hard the remainder of the frame and may have been in huge trouble if there was even another minute on the clock, but as is, two of the three judges felt he did enough to win. Rebecki improves to 4-1 in the UFC, in addition to scoring a win on Dana White's Contender Series. He also takes home an additional $50,000 for his efforts here, as this matchup was rightfully awarded Fight of the Night honors.

Rebecki is scheduled to compete against fellow lightweight Myktybek Orolbai at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi on Oct. 26, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS

Falls as biggest favorite on card
LightweightUFC
May 11, 2024
Rebecki lost to Carlos Diego Ferreira via TKO (punches) at 4:51 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in St. Louis.
ANALYSIS
What a disaster. Entering as upwards of a -400 favorite, by far the largest on the entire card, Rebecki put forth quite an effort, and not in a positive way. He started out on fire, putting forth a quick pace and knocking Ferreira down in Round 1, but Rebecki was unable to get the stoppage, and his gas tank completed evaporated early in Round 2. That allowed Diego to batter him the rest of the way, with referee Gary Copeland finally calling for a mercy stoppage with less than ten seconds remaining. Rebecki entered having won 16 fights in a row, including each of his first three with the UFC. It's back to the drawing board for the 31-year-old in the ultra-competitive lightweight division.

Rebecki is scheduled to compete against Carlos Diego Ferreira in a lightweight fight at UFC St. Louis on May 11, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS

Loses opponent

Rebecki will no longer face off against Joel Alvarez at UFC Vegas 91 on April 27, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
With Joel Alvarez (undisclosed) out of the bout, Rebecki has been left without an opponent at UFC Vegas 91. The 31-year-old Polish fighter, who is currently 3-0 during his UFC career, will likely look for a late replacement for the fight.
Easily handles late-notice opponent
LightweightUFC
November 11, 2023
Rebecki defeated Roosevelt Roberts via submission (armbar) at 3:08 of Round 1 at UFC 295 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
Not only did Rebecki agree to face Roberts on a few days' notice following the withdrawal of Nurullo Aliev (leg), he agreed to fight Roberts despite the fact the latter missed weight by two pounds Friday morning. It didn't matter in the least. Rebecki picked up a portion of his opponent's purse and still went out and dominated, highlighted by a pair of takedowns and a quick submission win. Mateusz, who is excellent and looking at a significant bump up in competition his next time out, improves to 3-0 in the UFC, in addition to a stoppage win on Dana White's Contender Series. It has all come in the past 14-plus months.
