Aviv Gozali added another highlight-reel finish to his Bellator MMA career at the fight firm's show in Tel-Aviv on Friday, November 15.

Famed for his 11-second heel hook earlier in the year, a move which broke the Bellator record for fastest submission in company history, Gozali returned to action this weekend and extended his MMA record to four wins unbeaten.

Competing at Bellator 234, the same show as his jiu jitsu black belt father Haim Gozali, Aviv Gozali beat Zaka Fatullazade in the very first round, this time with an anaconda choke.
