“Jaguar” was the faster, sharper of the two in the striking department, as he used long range weapons to attack the body, mixing in knees to the midsection whenever they clinched. Just when it seemed like Gomis was cruising to victory, Ruchala wobbled him with a high kick in the third, shifting the momentum in his favor before the French favorite worked to clinch and grind out the final minute.
Tasked with determining a victor for the first time all evening, the judges scored the fight in favor of Gomis, who advanced to 5-1 in the UFC with the victory. It’s seldom easy for the 28-year-old, but it’s a very good win over a European standout and gets things moving in the right direction again after a split decision loss last time out.
