Ethan Goss just keeps winning.
The Gorilla House Gym product rattled off his fifth straight win and second straight title defense for 247 Fighting Championships at Brawl in the Burgh 16 –– and it took him less than a round to do it.
Goss, now 31 years old and in his fighting prime, believes that win over Calvin Harbaugh means something greater.
It means he's ready for the next step.
<<< Watch BitB16 Full Replay >>>
And from our perspective? Yeah, it's hard to disagree.
Goss sits atop the featherweight mountain regionally, and the pickings for him inside the 247 FC cage get slimmer by the day. It might be time for that Octagon to come calling.
We dig into that and so much more on this episode of the Pittsburgh Combat Sports Podcast.

Saturday, April 15, Brawl in the Burgh took over the Hollywood Casino at the Meadows Event Center, bringing a sold-out crowd to Washington, PA, for 16 hot-fire MMA fights.
We saw crazy submissions. We saw wild knockouts. We saw an early Fight of the Year contender.
And everything in between...

While that's awesome, it also made Strip District Meats' job extremely difficult. How can you choose just one fighter to receive the gift card after such an incredible night of action?
That was the task inside the 247 Studio, as Strip District Meats GM Brad Bengele joined the 247 Fighting Championships crew to break down the action and hand out some meat bucks.
Oh, and you already know there's a twist. We gotta keep it fresh for yinz.
