Aviv Gozali says he suffered torn ACL, broken ankle in Bellator 274 upset loss

BAD MMA News — Sun, 20 Feb 2022 20:39:21 +0000

Aviv Gozali ’s undefeated streak to start his career came to a screeching halt at Bellator 274 , and it’s going to take some time to deal with the fallout. After going on a hot streak of six consecutive submission wins, Gozali (6-1 MMA, 6-1 BMMA) encountered adversity in Saturday’s lightweight bout with Bobby King (11-4 MMA, 2-1 BMMA). He started the fight strong, firing off a number of kicks. It was clear something went wrong either from the impact of a strike or a misstep, though, when he began moving gingerly around the cage. As time came off the clock, things started to go south for Gozali.
