He was almost UFC level but not quite. He can definitely hold his head up high though. He had some impressive wins over Cody Law & Pat Sabatini.Certainly UFC level
You know I don't think any but the top UFC fighters make enough money to make it worth while. I always feel sorry when I see poor third world Contender Series fighters tell their life story & think that they made it once they get a Contender Series contract. They must not realize that they could make more money working at Home Depot or a construction job. Hell, working at McDonalds pays more than first year UFC fighters. They are only making 10 +10 & will only fight once or twice a year. So that's between 10 & 40 thousand plus Venom bonus but minus training expenses. Like I said. They could make more money working a regular full time job & get health insurance minus brain damage. Ask Spencer Fisher & Gary Goodridge if it was worth it.Solid fighter, probably wasn't making enough money to really make it worthwhile. Good luck to him in whatever he chooses to do next.

Gonzalez would be a great test for someone like Magomedsharipov. Im surprised Bellator didnt want to keep him around.He's also somehow also scheduled to fight the same month at LFA 155:
