Ahavat Hashem Gordon celebrated the victory: "God protected me"

The first fight night of the Gordon family, GFN, concluded with a perfect day for the family of fighters. Ahavat Hashem Gordon, a central and promising fighter in Israel, won by judges' decision against the veteran Brazilian John Lineker, who has a rich background in the UFC, Muay Thai, and kickboxing.

"Thanks to the Father in Heaven, without Him I am nothing. Thank you for the strength He gave me and for this privilege. Every blow of his, I saw black, he hit so hard. In every round, I said I have to do this. I also hit hard back, I listened to the corner, and it was a crazy challenge."

"Every moment and second in the fight, I had to be focused. I thank God who protected me and brought me this victory. I need to watch the fight again. I was at 50/50, but I will watch the fight and know exactly what happened.

"I dedicate the fight to the people of Israel. There are guys here from all walks of society. You all came here together to cheer and say 'Am Yisrael Chai' (The people of Israel live). Remember that unity will bring us to redemption, and with God's help, we will all spread love together, hug everyone, and love everyone. Thank you very much for this crazy privilege."

Lineker, who greeted Ahavat Hashem with a big hug after the judges' decision, said at the end: "I want to thank you for the opportunity to come to the Holy Land. Coming here was a dream of mine for a very long time. I thank the Gordon family, thanks to whom I came to fight here. It was a good and tough fight. I want to continue and thank everyone who came."
