The owner of a notorious surname, John Gotti III is trying to carve out his own notoriety in MMA.
The grandson of the infamous gangster with the same name, Gotti (4-0) puts his undefeated record on the line when he takes on Marcos Lloreda (6-5) at CES 59.
CES 59 takes place Oct. 25 at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I. The main card streams on UFC Fight Pass.
The 26-year-old welterweight fighter has run through all four of his opponents to date with relative ease. Training under UFC veteran Ryan LaFlare at Long Island MMA, Gotti has passed each test via TKO or knockout.
In his most recent outing at CES 56 in May, Gotti defeated opponent David Espino in 96 seconds. The New Yorker has never seen a second round, with his longest bout lasting only 3:50.
His opponent, American Top Team’s Lloreda, has picked up three victories in his four most recent contest. In June, Lloreda defeated Smith Amisal by second-round TKO at Burt Watson’s MMA Live. Out of his six professional victories, Lloreda has earned five finishes and one decision.
CES 59 is headlined by recent UFC development deal recipient William Knight, as he competes in his first bout since his victory on “Dana White’s Contender Series”.
