Dana White’s Contender Collection Week 2 is the proper stage for Billy Goff to shine.
DWCS Week 1 left UFC head honcho Dana White upset as a result of an absence of battle motion leading to just one UFC contract being awarded. Contenders are anticipated to ramp up the end charge in Week 2. One knockout artist to control is Billy Goff.
Combating out of Groton, Connecticut, 24-year-old Goff (7-2) is a 2-division (welterweight and middleweight) CES champion, in addition to the previous welterweight champ of Cage Titans FC. He has completed 5 of his seven wins by KO/TKO, with two wins coming by determination.
In Week 2 of DWCS, Goff will battle as a welterweight in opposition to Israeli fighter Shimon “Murderer” Smotritsky (8-1). Smotritsky isn’t any stranger to the DWCS limelight, having beforehand appeared on DWCS in Octo. 2021, which resulted in a submission loss to opponent Mike “Correct” Malott. He has fought simply as soon as since then, for the Russian Cagefighting Championship on 18 December 2021, the place he gained through TKO.

Goff has fought and gained in each of his two Bellator bouts, as nicely. His first Bellator battle was on Feb. 15, 2019, in opposition to Ryan Hardy Evans, whom he defeated by unanimous determination. His second was on Dec. 10, 2020, in opposition to Robson Gracie, Jr. whom he defeated by TKO through punches and elbows.
Using a five-fight win streak—with two KO/TKO finishes in 2022 alone—Goff is in a great place to placed on an ideal present for White, and earn himself a UFC contract on the Contender Collection.
