The 23-year-old took on Edson Gomez in a welterweight matchup at DWCS Season 4: Week 8 following a seven-week break for the series. After an impressive first round where he picked Gomez apart, Bahamondes began to open things up a little bit more. Gomez proved his grit and toughness for as long as he could, but a front kick to the face from Bahamondes ended his night immediately.

Ahead of his opportunity to compete in front of Dana White and the UFC matchmakers, Bahamondes had competed for promotions such as LFA, Titan FC and Island Fights. @JaulaBahamondes delivers with absolute style!
