It was close, but not enough.
Shimon Smotritzky lost the opportunity to win a ticket to the UFC tonight (between Tuesday and Wednesday), after he raised his hands in a fight against the American Billy Goff, who himself won the coveted contract, in a fight held as part of "The Contender", of the organization's president, Dana White.

The Israeli actually started strong and provided quite a few reasons for optimism, after he sent a tremendous kick, which took his opponent to the ground after 15 seconds of the start of the fight, but the American Billy Goff recovered and in fact, managed to finish the fight with an impressive series of blows, 4 minutes from the start of the fight.
WHAT.

As you may remember, last October, Smotritzky also fought for an entrance ticket to the organization, but then he lost to his Canadian opponent Mike Shalot, who managed to decide the fight after only 39 seconds.
