Aviv Gozali happy to test his grappling against Dillon Danis: ‘I’m going to (expletive) you up’

UNCASVILLE, Conn. – No one has had an answer on the ground for Aviv Gozali.

The undefeated welterweight has shown a diverse jiu-jitsu skill set and has tapped out every opponent he’s faced with first-round submissions, each with a different technique.

After Gozali (5-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) submitted Logan Neal with a Kimura at Bellator 249 on Thursday, he was asked how he would match up with jiu-jitsu ace Dillon Danis. Gozali said he’s more than up for the challenge.

“Dillon Danis, come on, let’s do it,” Gozali said at the Bellator 249 post-fight show. “I’m going to (expletive) you up. It was another first-round (finish for me). I have five first-round (finishes). I want to keep it that way.”

“I’m 19 years old, so I want to take my time to improve myself,” Gozali said. “I’m still a kid. I think I’m the youngest fighter in Bellator, so I’m going to take some time to improve myself.”
