William Gomis
The Jaguar
France
Falls as favorite
Gomis lost to Hyder Amil via split decision (28-29, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Vegas 103 on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The first two rounds saw a mere difference of four combined significant strikes between the two men, hence the split-decision result. Gomis likely took Round 1, while Round 2 was up for grabs, but Amil was the one who finished stronger to secure the decision. It was a tough break for Gomis as a 2-to-1 favorite, but by no means is this a debilitating loss. He still landed over 100 significant strikes in the 15-minute affair, and it's his first loss in four trips to the UFC Octagon. He'll be back, especially after fights like this.

Handed questionable decision
Gomis defeated Joanderson Brito via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
A Paris native, Gomis got some home cooking from the judges in a fight in which he was very fortunate to emerge victorious. The first round could have gone either way, although a Brito takedown seemed to be arguably the most notable moment of the frame. Brito was much better in Round 2, while Gomis rebounded some in Round 3. Neither man could have felt comfortable when the decision was announced, but most people that watched this fight will likely tell you Gomis got a break. A technical striker with questionable secondary skills, William is a perfect 4-0 with the UFC, with two split decisions, a majority decision, and a knockout win on his resume.
