William Gomis - News & Rumors - UFC | FOX Sports

Left frustrated in New Jersey Gomis lost to Pat Sabatini via unanimous decision (27-30, 29-28, 27-30) at UFC 328 on Saturday in Newark.

Impact Gomis had nothing to do with all his kickboxing prowess on Saturday, as Sabatini stuck him against the cage for the better part of 15 minutes. In the moments when he was able to break away, Gomis landed consequential shots, but the striking numbers were so close that Sabatini's control time won the day. The French fighter can look good when given the space to work his kicking game, but he needs to be aware that strong wrestlers will always try to deny him his range. Gomis fell to 15-4-0 in professional MMA due to the loss.

Gomis will now have to put his takedown defense to the test against a wrestling-heavy opponent in Sabatini who has won three fights in a row. The featherweight division is deep, but if Gomis can find stopping power against this caliber of opponent, a spot in the rankings would at least be a conversation worth having.
