NEW YORK – Haim Gozali is an MMA anomaly. Not only does he hail from Israel – a country not known as an MMA hotbed – he’s age 46. Friday night, Gozali (11-6 MMA, 3-3 BMMA) became the oldest fighter in Bellator MMA history to pick up a submission victory. On the preliminary portion of the evening’s event, Gozali pulled off a first-round submission victory over Brazilian Gustavo Wurlitzer .
