Profile
Overview
Seven UFC fights, and only one of them ended before the final bell. William Gomis, a French featherweight known as "Jaguar," is 5-2 in the UFC, and the judges have decided six of his seven fights.
That is the whole profile in one line. Gomis goes the distance, and the scorecards have mostly gone his way. His longest UFC win streak is four, and he carries a loss into his next fight.
UFC Career
Gomis debuted on September 2, 2022 at UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Tuivasa, taking a majority decision over Jarno Errens. Next came a split decision over Francis Marshall in April 2023. In September 2023 he stopped Yanis Ghemmouri at 2:20 of round three, his only UFC finish.
His fourth win, in September 2024, was a split decision over Joanderson Brito, an opponent our model rates as strong. That made four in a row.
Hyder Amil, also rated strong, ended the streak with a split decision in March 2025. Gomis answered with a unanimous decision over Robert Ruchala that September. A unanimous decision loss to Pat Sabatini, another strong opponent, followed at UFC 328 in May 2026.
Both losses came on the scorecards against strong opposition. He has not won a fight against anyone our model rates elite.
Fighting Style
Gomis is a striker who lands at about the UFC average and rarely takes much in return. He is hard to hit and hard to take down, and those two traits define how he fights.
He almost never shoots for takedowns and doesn't hunt for submissions. His game is built on staying on his feet and staying out of trouble.
The results match. Four of his five UFC wins came by decision, and his one stoppage was a third-round TKO. He wins by outpointing opponents, not by hunting the finish.
