Yaniv Kaminski joins the Soothing Semantics Podcast to tell the incredible story behind Gordon Fight Nights (GFN), Israel’s new combat sports promotion — and his mission to bring Israeli fighters to the world stage.
Yaniv is much more than an announcer. He is a commentator, matchmaker and one of the driving forces behind GFN, working alongside the Gordon family to build a promotion showcasing MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing and boxing talent from Israel and around the world.
We break down the historic first Gordon Fight Nights event, which brought thousands of Israeli fight fans together for a night featuring some of Israel’s top combat athletes.
Yaniv discusses:
🥊 How Gordon Fight Nights was created
🥊 Building GFN alongside the Gordon family
🥊 Ahavat Hashem Gordon, Ruach Gordon and Kibedy Gordon
🥊 Natan Levy and the rise of Israeli MMA
🥊 How Yaniv became an announcer, commentator and matchmaker
🥊 Why fighters and agents are already trying to get onto GFN 2
🥊 His ambition to turn GFN into a global fight promotion
🥊 The future of Israeli fighters in the UFC
🥊 Muay Thai, kickboxing, MMA and boxing in Israel
🥊 Why October 7 changed Yaniv’s life and mission
🥊 Israeli fighters dealing with hostility and cancelled opportunities abroad
🥊 Jewish pride, Israeli strength and the role combat sports can play in changing perceptions of Israel
🥊 Muslim, Christian, Druze and Jewish fighters proudly representing Israel
🥊 The next generation of Israeli combat sports
Yaniv explains why he believes Israeli fighters don’t need everyone to like them — they need to earn respect.
And according to Yaniv, Gordon Fight Nights is only getting started.
Could GFN eventually become a major global fight organization? Could the next generation produce multiple Israeli UFC fighters?
