Fernando Gonzalez has been on a tear for nearly four years.
He has won seven of his past eight fights, all under the Bellator banner. The only setback came in November 2016 against Michael Page – by split decision.
On Friday, he’ll try to make it three straight since that setback when he headlines a Bellator card for the first time. Gonzalez (27-14 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) will take on Lorenz Larkin (18-7 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) in a 180-pound catchweight bout in the Bellator 193 main event.
Bellator 193 takes place at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, Calif. The main card airs on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.
Really the only thing that may be holding Gonzalez back is his issues hitting the welterweight limit. He was heavy for a win over Brandon Girtz last year, and even came in heavy for a catchweight fight against Brennan Ward at Bellator 182, which he won by third-round guillotine choke. (Hence, Friday’s fight at a catchweight.)
But ahead of the headliner, check out some of Gonzalez’s best Bellator highlights in the video above.
