Haim Gozali believes Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has a bright future in Israel ahead of his final fight at Bellator 234 in Tel Aviv today.

Approaching his 47th birthday, Gozali, a former military police soldier in the IDF, will hang up his gloves after his fight against Artur Pronin to become a Bellator producer.

Pronin goes into the fight with a record of 16 victories and three defeats, but Gozali confidently predicted a fourth loss for his opponent. “It’s going to end on the ground as we’re both ground fighters,” he said. “I don’t do any research on my opponents. My coach will tell me what to do.

Competing in the welterweight section, Gozali will fight on the same bill as his son, Aviv, for the second time.
