Goiti Yamauchi made waves in Bellator MMA and embodies the spirit of a modern-day gladiator, having fostered comprehensive skills in muay thai, boxing and wrestling in his martial arts pursuits.
Holding the record for most submission wins (nine) in Bellator history, Yamauchi now faces the formidable challenge of squaring off against grappling phenom Neiman Gracie in his Professional Fighters League debut at PFL 3 this Friday in Chicago. It serves as a rematch between the grappling savants, as they met previously at Bellator 284, where Yamauchi punched out Gracie in the second round of their August 2022 encounter.
