William Gomis, great hope of French MMA, won his fight against American Francis Marshall on Saturday in the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 222, in Las Vegas.
“The Jaguar”, which fights in the featherweight category of the UFC, won by split decision, two judges having given him the victory (29-28), a judge having chosen Marshall (29-28). The 25-year-old fighter dominated the first two rounds, with smart footwork and precise kicking.
He then showed incredible resistance at the end of the third round, where he found himself strangled from behind by Marshall, a floor specialist, who was just looking to subdue Gomis, and who was until then undefeated. after seven fights (including four victories by submission). But Gomis managed to get away with it, in a scenario similar to that of his first fight in the prestigious organization of MMA.
It was last September in Paris, during the premiere of the UFC on French soil. That evening, when he had dominated the first two rounds, Gomis found his head caught in a triangle in the last moments of the fight, but had impressed all Bercy by extricating himself from the legs of his opponent Jarno Errens at the term of 45 endless seconds. Gomis, who aims neither more nor less than the UFC belt in the long term, thus continues his consecutive series of victories, which he brings to ten (with a balance sheet of 12 victories for 2 defeats).
