“The only thing you know how to do is kill unarmed children” - Jake Shields’ Twitter feud with Israeli MMA fighter Haim Gozali reaches boiling point
The social media feud between former UFC fighter Jake Shields and Israeli MMA star Haim Gozali has escalated to a boiling point.
Gozali, known for his controversial online posts, recently targeted Shields by posting an image of an Israeli missile bearing the American's name. This move follows Gozali's earlier controversial posts, including one featuring the names of Muslim MMA fighters on a missile. Shields responded to the provocation, labeling Gozali a "cowardly Israeli fighter."
In a recent video response, Gozali addressed those who sent him threatening messages, asserting that he isn't afraid and won't be intimidated. He defended his earlier posts and stated:
"You people send me messages, cursing me, threatening me. You think I give a sh*t? You think I'm afraid of you? Come on, you can send me as much as messages you want. I'm going to tell you one thing to all the website that said that I put the name of a Muslim fighter on the missile. No, I put four names of people that spreading lies, spreading fake news, spreading hate to my country, Israel... Send me message. You're going to kill me? You're going to die. You're going to do that? Come on, guys, I'm an Israeli. You think I'm afraid of you? You think I'm afraid of all this bullsh**t?
Gozali further expressed his willingness to fight Muslim fighters such as Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, Khamzat Chimaev, and Belal Muhammad in a bare-knuckle event.
