This late addition to the card should be an engaging scrap between
two rising prospects. France’s Gomis is the hometown favorite, and
he looks to have the higher upside of these two newcomers thanks to
his speed and reach. “Jaguar” puts those tools to good use, even if
he can be messy at times. Gomis is content to flit around at range
and snipe at his opponents, occasionally crashing into them with a
decent wrestling game. There is a lot for Gomis to clean up, but at
25 years old and with some good ideas, he should be able to find a
foothold in the UFC as he develops some more consistency. For his
first challenge in the UFC, Gomis draws Holland’s Errens. A
kickboxer with some knockout power, Errens has looked solid when
given the opportunity to work, though takedown defense does appear
to be a concern as the Dutchman works his way up the UFC ladder.
Gomis could make some progress there, but at worst, he figures to
be too fast for Errens to catch cleanly and consistently with his
movement-heavy striking. The pick is Gomis via third-round
stoppage.
