The 20-year-old had already taken the Los Angeles-based company by storm when he broke a Bellator record for fastest submission recorded in its history, with an 11-second heel hook in 2019.
The up-and-coming lightweight has fought every pro fight of his career with Bellator, but is yet to be taken the distance in a bout. He's finished everyone he's ever faced.
On Friday at a behind-closed-doors event at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut, Gozali did to Sean Felton what he's done to everyone he's competed against, and made him tap in the very first round.
Felton lasted little longer than a minute before succumbing to the same technique that Gozali broke the Bellator record with - the heel hook.
