After his surprise signing with the UFC, a lot of questions were raised about Gokhan Saki’s return to MMA. Coming in with an 0-1 record and having only one MMA fight back in 2004, a lot of doubts surrounded the kickboxing star with concerns regarding his preparation.
But by the time UFC Fight Night 117 rolled around, a lot of those concerns evaporated. He smoked his opponent near the end of the first round, bouncing Luis Henrique da Silva out of the UFC. But still, many fans saw holes in his performance.
