Prediction, pick for William Gomis vs. Robert Ruchala

Prediction, pick for William Gomis vs. Robert Ruchala

By: Ryan Wohl

The opening bout of UFC Fight Night: Imavov vs. Borralho features a Featherweight contest between William Gomis vs. Robert Ruchala. Gomis comes from the MMA Factory in Paris, France, which is where former UFC Interim Champion Ciryl Gane trains with Head Coach Fernand Lopez.

I break down my best bet for William Gomis vs. Robert Ruchala right here.

William Gomis To Win By KO/TKO/DQ (+330)

After winning his first four bouts of his UFC career, Gomis lost to Hyder Amil in March. That was Gomis’ first defeat since 2016, as he had won 13 straight fights from 2016 to 2024. Gomis is a -265 favorite with Ruchala being a +215 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Ruchala, 27, is 11-1 in his MMA career and is a former two-time champion in KSW. This is Ruchala’s first fight since November 2024, and he has had a 10-month layoff.

Even though he is facing a former champion from one of the top organizations in Europe, Gomis has responded well to losses in the past. Only three of Gomis’ past six victories have come by knockout, but he has seven of them and needs an impressive win to provide another spark to his career. You can get Gomis at +330 to win via KO/TKO/DQ, which is good value considering his striking potential.
