August 26th, 2023

Billy Goff ate some punches early, but a big body shot is all he needed to finish Yusaku Kinoshita at UFC Fight Night 225.

Goff (9-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was getting crisply countered early by Kinoshita (6-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC), who made him pay for every naked leg kick he threw. But as the round went on, Goff was able to land his shots until he dropped Kinoshita with a blow to his solar plexus. Goff rained down some punches and got the stoppage win at the 3:49 mark of Round 1 on Saturday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore.
