Mateusz Rębecki bio
Personal background
Mateusz Rębecki, nicknamed "Chińczyk," is a Polish lightweight fighter in the UFC, born on October 3, 1992. He emerged from the Szczecin fight scene in northwestern Poland and built his foundation on the mat, earning a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and competing at a high level in grappling before fully committing to mixed martial arts. He fights out of American Top Team, the Florida-based super-camp, where he has rounded a once grappling-heavy game into a complete striking-and-wrestling package. At 5'7" with a 66-inch reach, the compact, pressure-heavy Rębecki is one of the more physically imposing competitors in his weight class for his frame.
Path to the UFC
Rębecki debuted as a professional in 2014 and developed almost entirely on the European circuit, becoming a fixture of Poland's Fight Exclusive Night (FEN) promotion. He captured the FEN lightweight title in March 2018 with a fourth-round knockout of Marian Ziółkowski via a body shot, then continued to clear out the regional ranks, finishing the likes of Kaik Brito with elbows from the crucifix in 2019. A 2022 stoppage on Dana White's Contender Series finally earned him his UFC contract after years as one of Europe's most avoided 155-pounders.
UFC run
Rębecki entered the UFC with a head of steam and kept winning. He outpointed the unbeaten Nick Fiore on debut in early 2023, then stopped Loik Radzhabov with strikes at UFC on ABC 5 and submitted Roosevelt Roberts with a first-round armbar at UFC 295, running his Octagon record to a perfect 3–0. The first real adversity came in 2024, when veteran Diego Ferreira stopped him late in a back-and-forth war. Rębecki rebounded immediately with a hard-fought split-decision win over Myktybek Orolbai at UFC 308. Since then the results have tightened against the division's stiffer competition: he dropped a unanimous decision to Chris Duncan, a majority decision to Ľudovít Klein at UFC 321, and was submitted by Grant Dawson in 2026.
Fighting style
Rębecki is an aggressive, all-action lightweight who blends a black-belt grappling base with genuinely heavy hands. His finish breakdown tells the story of a well-rounded threat: of his 20 wins, nine have come by knockout and seven by submission, an 80% finish rate. He pressures forward, mixes level changes with power punching, and is dangerous in scrambles where his crucifix control and armbar entries shine. The honest weaknesses are reach and rounds-management at the elite level; his recent decision losses have come when longer or more disciplined strikers kept him at distance and forced him into the championship rounds.
Career highlights
- FEN lightweight champion — won Poland's top regional title in 2018 with a fourth-round body-shot knockout and reigned as one of Europe's premier 155-pounders.
- Perfect UFC start — opened his Octagon tenure 3–0 with finishes of Loik Radzhabov and Roosevelt Roberts.
- 80% finish rate — nine knockouts and seven submissions across 20 wins, reflecting a rare two-way finishing threat.
