Podcasts about former bellator

On this week's episode, I had the pleasure to chat with The OG Israeli pro MMA fighter and 5th degree BJJ black belt, Haim Gozali. Haim used to fight in Bellator, and his son Aviv is currently fighting in Bellator and has the fastest win in Bellator history with a leglock 11 seconds into the first round. Haim and I discussed his time as a fighter, his thoughts on the growth of Israeli martial arts, upcoming Israeli fighters and some Israeli politics. Haim is a very proud Jew and Israeli and has been one of the major faces of Israeli strength and pride for many years. Now at 50 years old, Haim is no longer fighting professionally but helps train new prospects and hopes to lead the next generation all the way to the big leagues. SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, AND SHARE!
