got to admit, i didn't think too much of gozali as they were hyping/pushing him up as a homegrown face initially, but he continues to look legit and i was totally wrong in my observations on him over his growth..

What a ******* dumb move by Felton. Why would you stay in Gozali's guard of all the people? It's like playing with a fire.

Aviv Gozali is a Submission Specialist and he nearly just left the Cage with Sean Felton's lower leg... Fantastic 1st Round Submission Finish and entertaining as always πŸ€”πŸ’―πŸ₯ŠπŸ‘ŠπŸ€‘πŸ‘

it makes even funnier how Gozali waved Felton off yesterday at the weigh ins after Felton cut throated him. Gozali knew.

Josh's idea for Piccolotti vs. Gozali next is actually quite a solid one... I'd be into it. Was trying to think of who he should get next and drawing blanks.

Sumika Inaba is a bad ass... Her striking is accurate and spiteful... I am expecting Inaba to secure a Stoppage in this contest after watching that 1st Round... 10 - 8 Inaba πŸ€”πŸ’―πŸ₯ŠπŸ‘ŠπŸ‘
