Mateusz Rebecki

Overview

Mateusz Rebecki's three-fight win streak is the story of his first year in the UFC, and the four fights since are why his record sits at 5-4 instead of something flashier. He is a southpaw lightweight from Gryfice, Poland, who trains with American Top Team and carries a 21-5-0 professional record across all promotions, 5-4 of it in the UFC.

The wins came fast. Of his five UFC victories, three were finishes, and two of those ended in the first round. His other two wins went to the scorecards.

Nine UFC fights, a lot of volume, and a record that still hasn't settled.

UFC Career

Rebecki's road to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series, where he submitted Rodrigo Lidio in the first round, at 3:05. That fight sits outside his UFC record. His UFC debut came on January 13, 2023, a three-round unanimous decision over Nick Fiore.

The next two fights were the fast ones. He stopped Loik Radzhabov in the second round at 2:36, then submitted Roosevelt Roberts in the first at 3:08. That made three straight wins, still his longest streak.

Then came the first loss. Diego Ferreira knocked him out in the third round at 4:51, a finish that arrived with nine seconds left in the fight. Rebecki answered with a split decision over Myktybek Orolbai at UFC 308, but the sample after that turned against him. Back-to-back decision losses followed, unanimous to Chris Duncan and majority to Ludovít Klein, and then a third-round submission loss to Grant Dawson at UFC 328. Our model rates Dawson as an elite opponent, the toughest name on Rebecki's UFC ledger.

He closed that stretch with a first-round TKO of Kyle Prepolec at 4:41, and he carries that one-fight win streak into his next bout.

Three of his four UFC losses came after round two began, and none inside the first. His own finishes arrive early, not late.

Fighting Style

Rebecki is a busy striker who also takes the fight to the mat. He lands more strikes per minute than most UFC fighters and shoots for takedowns far more often than most. He doesn't hunt for submissions, though, so his wrestling reads as a way to control a fight rather than a route to a choke.

His defensive numbers are unremarkable. Strikes absorbed, accuracy, striking defense and takedown defense all sit around the UFC average. That fits his losses, which came by knockout, submission and decision, with no single hole to point at.

His finishes tend to come early. Two of his three UFC finishes came in the first round, and the other came in the second. He has won by knockout, by submission and on the scorecards. Anyone calling him a one-note grappler should check the two stoppages by strikes.
