LAS VEGAS – William Gomis’s determination to leave victorious in his return to the octagon was high, to say the least.
The UFC featherweight defeated Francis Marshall by split decision at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 222 preliminary card at the UFC Apex. That result was put in jeopardy in the final seconds of the fight, as Marshall (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) attempted two chokes on Gomis (12-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) that appeared very tight.
Gomis was able to escape from both, but he says they came close to putting him out.
