John Gotti III
Record: 5-0
Age: 27
Height: 5’11”
Birthplace: New York
Although he only has five pro fights to his name, [autotag]John Gotti III[/autotag] is already well-known on the national MMA scene. A grandson of the infamous New York gangster with the same name, Gotti is undefeated inside the cage. After bullying his first four opponents en route to first-round victories, Gotti showed he could successfully go the distance at CES 60 in January. Against Marcos Lloreda, Gotti displayed heart, durability, and the ability to overcome. With that, he also opened himself up to displaying some holes in his game for the first time publicly. That said, it will likely serve as a good learning experience. Now, he has something to work on. After his fight, Gotti told MMA Junkie he’d prefer to get a few more fights before entering the UFC. However, Gotti seems like the perfect candidate for DWCS. If the UFC comes knocking, it’s unlikely he’ll say no.
